A tribute to the recently disbanded Fresh Team, "Discontent" was specifically designed for one on one play. The map by Kamarov contains excellent new texture work by Yogi.

This latest release from Jax_Gator features some cool textures by {D-ca}Ebola. This small DM consists of two large areas connected by a series of passageways on several tiers.

The appropriately named first release from ButterB overwhelmed me with its huge columns and high lofts. I felt very small running around while the wind howled. This FFA provides tons of enjoyment with well placed jump pads and beams for some serious sniper action. A few players are the order here...more than 5 is a crowd. A nice first effort offering great gameplay! Bot Support: Yes
How about a double header from Elmar Steinböck?. This large gothic map features excellent texturing and curve usage. The secret is in balancing detail with playability. Elmar has succeeded in producing a well laid out, highly detailed map that maintains respectable r_speeds throughout. Bot Support: Yes [download] [readme.txt] [website]
Here's a fun little space floater from Elmar Steinböck I found posted at Q3 Center. I'm not a huge fan of space themes, but the architecture and layout on this FFA is just different enough to make it interesting without spoiling the gameplay. The map features several new textures and jumppads and is optimized for between 2-6 players. It's a small download, so why not check it out? Bot Support: Yes [download] [readme.txt] [website]
This mid sized FFA from kenBOO..!! features a large central room, extra side areas and a lava filled dungeon.

This fun little DM from [Kona] was actually released at the beginning of July. Oh well, better late than never. What makes this space floater so interesting is the combination of styles and excellent eye candy, courtesy of the HH3 texture set. Playability is great too, of course. I've added this one to my collection...have you? Bot Support: Yes [download] [readme.txt] [website]
<|3FG20K> has released a new FFA. "Tempered Graveyard" features a gothic theme, while offering a variety of different looks throughout the map.

Utilizing the Headhunter3 texture set, Quaker-X has come up with an excellent 3-4 player FFA. "Dead Cells" not only offers excellent detailing, but the connectivity Bot Support: Yes
Quint spent a month constructing this 11 MB space floater. Have a look at the list of credits in the map's readme file and you'll see that "The Birth Machine" features a heap of textures, a new skybox and new music. Of course, being so 'texture rich' does tend to affect the map's r_speeds, but if you've got a decent machine and a fast Internet connection, you'll want to check this out. Bot Support: Yes
A fun little DM from Bushboy, the emphasis here is on vertical gameplay. Bushboy has spiced this one up with several custom textures from Evil Lair that help lend "Mental Oasis" a real tech feel. Bot Support: Yes
A superb CTF from Dana Jan (QuartZ), "Cast into Shadows" offers excellent playability augmented by wonderful detailing, texturing and lighting that produces a truly classic feel...need I say more? Bot Support: Yes
The latest release from Kit Carson, looks like another winner! "Are Friends Gothic?" is Kit's tribute to the gothic style maps of old, and yes this FFA is chalk full of ambiance.

Another terrific effort from Fingers, "Meatball Grinder" is loosely based on a Q2 map. Best played with 2 or 3 players, this mettalic DM's a bit curve heavy which can produce some sluggishness, but you'll definitely want to grab this one. Bot Support: Yes |
