 The Forest Wants You
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:01 PM
Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

It's late and I'm going to hit the hay and leave you guys in the Forest. Try not to get shot too many times...
This is a dark map based in a forest and it certainly feels like your in one. You can get lost pretty quickly if you wander out into the forest. This should a great DM map as you can get ambushed from all sides. Nice map.
Have fun! Soffiles got the goods.

 One On One With Obi Wan
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 4:07 PM
Category: Quake IV

If you want one of those 1 on 1 deathmatch maps for Quake 4, then maybe Obi-Wan's DM 01 is your ticket to ride.
A very small map with only five spawn points. This map is meant for 1v1's and only that.
Have a look at that map on Quake 4 Files.

 Elven Sword Pack
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 12:15 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

The featured model over on Jedi Knight Files is this Elven Sword Pack for Jedi Academy.
This is a small collection of three elven weapons, an elven knife, an elven sword which can be used as a single hilt or as a staff, and the hadhafang. The are not as impressive as other weapons out there but they are indeed nice. One thing that bothered me though is the hilt on the sword looks weird, seems like the lines on it are uneven which take a little from it.
That is available on Jedi Knight Files.

 RP On USS Ariana
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:16 PM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

RadiSign released a beta of his RPG map, USS Ariana.
The USS Ariana is based on a Morpheus Class Runabout, a fan made concept, with a variety of rooms to enhance the experience. Contrary to the size imagined when using the term "Runabout," the Ariana is a fairly sized ship and could accommodate quite a large RP session.
So you might want to check out the USS Ariana over on Elite Force Files.

 Capture Some Greece Flags
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:38 PM
Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

MP Greece is a CTF map for Soldier of Fortune 2 by ReFuze.
The layout is very good however the map let is let down by quite few things. It is a full vis map with some misaligned textures also the ladders and netting are not see through as they should be. This map has a lot of potential though and I am sure that if the mapper received some pointers then this would be a great map.
That is all on Soffiles.

 Get Some Jedi Armor
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 6:33 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

GUANShire released a skin for Jedi Academy that is called Jedi Armor.
Once again I'm back and I brought a friend. He's a jedi that apparentely visited an alien planet and got himself a suit of armour. As far as looks go, it's pretty awesome. It looks to be made of buttloads scales, heavily decorated metal and mail. As a result, it's damned busy.
So yeah, hit Jedi Knight Files for that skin.

 She Said K.I.S Me But Only Wanted To Capture My Flag
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 3:43 PM
Category: Quake IV

Here is a map that brings back that Quake 3 feeling and is designed for CTF..
This map really brought the Quake 3 feeling back for me. The smooth looking environment and neon lights are quite fitting while providing some fast strafes.
Get a free K.I.S from Quake 4 Files.

 RPG USS Cassini
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 6:42 PM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

Zebes released beta 2 of his RPG map, USS Cassini.
The Cassini is an Intrepid Class vessel with all your normally expected RPG bells and whistles, this is only a beta release so there are a few bugs here and there and no lighting. However this project has been watched closely by the RPG community, both originally and again now that it has resumed, although in different hands.
So if your into the whole Elite Force RPG thing, you might want to check out the USS Cassini (Beta 2) over on Elite Force Files.

 Industrial By Default
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:27 AM
Category: Quake IV

Why do the weekends go by so fast? Ummm anyhow, this fine Sunday would be a good time for some deathmatch in Industrial by Default. The screenshots certainly look nice if you happen to look at them.
Not only does this map have a fitting title to go along with the theme but the visuals are also there to smack you upside the face.
Well it's time for me to go to a birthday party and eat some cake n stuff.... weeeeeeeeee.

 ID's Force Chamber
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 5:14 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

If you were to visit id Software you probably wouldn't find ID's Force Chamber but you can if you travel to Jedi Knight Files and downgrab the duel map for Jedi Academy.
Anyway, this map is very square and I didn't really see any curves, which would have been nice. Despite the blocky architecture there's enough added brush detail to keep it interesting. I'm curious how the author expected those itty bitty flames to light this entire room, which I don't think they would, so as a result the map is not lit very well and seems far too bright. It's not really too bad, but certainly could be much better with more attention.
That map is on Jedi Knight Files.

 Deathmatch Some Goldeneye
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:12 PM
Category: Quake IV

Bolleh got his Goldeneye level (deathmatch) upgrabbed to Quake 4 Files.
It's been a while since a good space themed map has passed my eyes. The item's are placed in great spots as well, this should be a definite download in anyone's books who likes this type of theme.
Check out Goldeneye.

 Chicane At Deathmatch
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:25 PM
Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

Over on Elite Force Files you can downgrab Chicane at Deathmatch, which is a Soldier of Fortune 2 movie showing some great DM frags.
If you have seen other movies on youtube and places like that then you might be put off from watching other sof2 movies. But Chicanes movies are a lot better than some random demo converted to a avi and are in a league of there own.
Grab that file off of Elite Force Files.

 Capture The Flag On Equinox
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 1:22 PM
Category: Quake IV

phantazm11 released Equinox for Quake 4 and is designed as a CTF level.
I personally like this map a lot from the design perspective. I think it has to deal with the small amount of green tossed into all the rust. Be sure to check this map out!
Hit Quake 4 Files for that map.

 Serenity Firefly
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:19 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Spineless released a roleplaying map for Jedi Academy in the form of Serenity - Firefly, which is the ship from the Sci-Fi show...
Accuracy wise it’s amazing, I felt I was really on it. At first I spawned on the medical bay, the doors to the medical room are noticeable from behind the archway but that’s not really a big deal as all the detail is spot on. The only thing I could complain about is that on every door I seemed to got stuck on, sometimes I even had to crouch to walk through them. But other than that is great it’s got the dinning room, the cockpit, the cargo bay, the engine room, everything is pretty much the same as in the movie and show.
Have a look at that on Jedi Knight Files.

 Devil's Waitin On Pogon
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:32 AM
Category: Quake IV

It's Saturday and a good time to shoot some Strogg scum in singleplayer, Quake 4 action, so have a look at Devil's Waitin and downgrab it.
In this single player map you are tossed into a planet called Pogon placed between the Strogg's forces and Earth. In order to finish this mission have you to kill one of the Strogg Generals located on this cold planet.
Devil's Waitin on Quake 4 Files.

 USS Agrippa
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 5:33 PM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

sorbet released a CTF map that is called USS Agrippa and is based on an older Federation starship.
This is a moderately sized five deck starship, which includes all the rooms you may expect to find on-board a Starfleet vessel. The corridor design is rather unique and increases the fun of exploring an unfamiliar environment, while I did get lost at least once, it is easy to navigate and should bring quite the amount of CTF goodness.
Visit Elite Force Files for that map.

 Dade Made Dade
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 5:16 PM
Category: Quake IV

Dade made a map that he calls Dade1 and it's designed for Quake 4, deathmatch.
Blue, blue, and more blue. If you don't like the color blue you might want to stay away from this map as it is everywhere. After you get past all the blue the map can provide for some good action, but nothing we haven't seen already done before.
Download some Dade1.

 Multiplay Some Italy
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:29 AM
Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

Rebel released Italy 2007, which is a multiplayer map designed for Soldier of Fortune 2.
A new map from Rebel. This one is a Italy themed map which runs and plays very well.It is a medium sized map that should do well on servers.
Have a look at that level on Soffiles.

 Go Ahead Punk Capture My Flag
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:41 AM
Category: Quake IV

This has nothing to do with Clint Eastwood and when I saw the title of the CTF map, I thought that it would have a spaghetti western type of theme.
Another map by Lukin, but this time with a odd named map, I still don't know why he named it Clint Eastwood. Besides the funky name the map does provide for some interesting game play that wont bore you.
That map is available thanks to Quake 4 Files!

 Ripper's Play Ground
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:44 AM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

Lt. Cmdr. Salinga is back and this time he released Ripper's Play Ground, which is a Multiplayer level (Quake 3 conversion) for Elite Force.
This is a reasonably small map that supports One on One and Solomatch, the map itself reminded me a little of TESIV: Oblivion and was a refreshing change from Sci-Fi or Modern style maps. Ripper's Play Ground is split into three sections which are reminiscent of a 1950s back ally.
Hit Elite Force Files for that map.

Pitted in a underground station with plenty of curves to get your hips move'n.
Yeah get your hips movin over to Quake 4 Files and wiggle up some Basin... Mmmmm curves.

 Space Tower
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:10 AM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

MUG produced a multiplayer map for Jedi Academy that he calls Space Tower.
I find this tower to be quite pleasant, despite the location and the activities people usually partake in such places. It is done quite well, with only minor bugs (which I won't mention, since I'd be pointing out things you probably won't notice). Alas, there are no bards to sing to you while you hold your epic duel with your nemeses there, you'll have to bring your own. And grapes. Can't forget the grapes.
Jedi Knight Files got the goods but you won't get your grapes there.

 Kill Some Strogg In Ubilitus
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 3:15 PM
Category: Quake IV

If you need a Quake 4, singleplayer fix, then maybe Ubilitus will help.
Two single player maps are included in this file, one follows the other in sequential order while you try to fight off the strogg.
May the Ubilitus be with you. That is all on Quake 4 Files.

 MP Training Ground
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 3:42 PM
Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

Lets all march on over to Soffiles and the MP Training Ground.
This is my very first SOF2 map it's small size makes it good for 1v1 up to 4v4 or more DM TDM CTF matches(the map can support up 36 players) the pickups on the map are scars on some basic weapons, sniper, ak47, M4, shot gun, some health packs and backpacks. it might be hard to camp here since you can get shot from anywere.
Have a look at the MP Training Ground.
