I don't know if ya'll like mazes or not but here is a Maze Of Doom, deathmatch level for Soldier Of Fortune 2 that was made by Loneviper.It is a bit big for less than 8 players in my opinion but it could be quite interesting. It should have had CTF support as well but I guess the developer had his reasons not to add it. Grab that map off of Soffiles.

Inyri Forge created this Zidane's Weapon Pack for Jedi Academy which contains weapons from Final Fantasy IX. The reviewer sayeth:As I said to Inyri yesterday while the opening FMV was running, it's easily the most beautifully-crafted game of the series on multiple levels. Do these weapons reflect that? They certainly match the game's signature style, and for remakes, that's almost as important as the quality of the model itself. Go grab that Zidane's Weapon Pack.

Lt. Cmdr. Salinga released a deathmatch level that is called The Wisdom Machine.This is the third map of a trilogy composed by other two maps called "The Birth Machine" and "The Guns OF Navarone". What do have these maps in common? Not only the author, obviously, bat there is a theme that link them each other: They are all floaters, the first one is in the atmosphere (air), the second one is above the sea (water), and this one on a desert (earth). Also, The first one experiments a vertical way to use physics, the second one do that in an horizontal way, this one in both the way... and this is the reason why I've chosen the name "wisdom". The second part of the name "Machine" has been chosen to close the circle started with "The Birth Machine". That map is available on Elite Force Files.

Rapp's Skin Pack is a reskin of the Jaden model and here is a bit of what the reviewer on Jedi Knight Files has to say about it all:I like skins like this. Y'know, where there are actually new textures instead of just recoloring the old ones. Jaden's got a brand new suit, and she's ready to show it off in the species menu. I might've gone about this differently (probably would've added them all as variations of the original Jaden model to increase the mix'n'match aspect) but the way it's set up is fine. It adds a new character to the species selection with one head option, three torso options, and two leg options. That's... uh... six different possible skins, right? Check out the Rapp's Skin Pack that Rapp_Scallion released for Jedi Academy.

Operation Sandstorm is a multiplayer map for Soldier Of Fortune 2 that JohnnyGrenade put together.This will be on nearly every sniper server out there before long. Even though it is a small map for sniping it is very well balanced with loads of spots to take aim from. Have a look at Operation Sandstorm.

SL Coliseum is a Free For All level made for Jedi Academy by RevanSL.This map is a medium-sized free-for-all map consisting of the main are, which does fit in with the map name (it does fit the definition of a coliseum), along with a section on either end for spectating, one of which is very straight-forward and the other which requires you to find a hidden door. Check out SL Coliseum on Jedi Knight Files.

$a]v[uRa! ])R@G()N released Godz Jordan which is a set of three multiplayer maps for Soldier of Fortune 2.There are 3 maps in the pk3 file and each are quite different to the others. 1 is a sewer map, 1 is a mosque and the other is a jor1 style map. I can't really fault any of them as they all look good and are spot on for what the developer intended. The screenshots of Godz Jordan certainly look nice. Check em out..

LocutusOfBorg_ released a multiplayer map for Elite Force that is called The Nile and here is a shot of what the review person has to say about it:The map itself contains two Pyramid structures which are the main feature of this map, despite it's name, which are separated by a small stream in the centre of the map. While fairly simple this looks set to be a lot of fun and is definitely worth checking out. Find that map on Elite Force Files.

Here is a Deadly Weapons Pack for Jedi Academy that was released by Shocker. The pack contains weapons from the Guild Wars series...Each of these weapons has it own particular flare, the textures reminding me of the madness ore weapons from Oblivion's Shivering Isles expansion. Personally I think the fiery dragon sword looks odd minus the fiery bits...

killthehumans is a multiplayer map for Elite Force that was released by Freak_Fish.This map is a basic deathmatch with all weapons scattered around the map including borg and hypo. There are 2 half-secrets where the good weapons are hidden, but they are quite easy to find if you have alot of accidents wink The map is CTF, team match, disi, and assimilation compatable and mods should work here also. Go to Elite Force Files and killthehumans.

I haven't been on the Dark Forces site for awhile and missed that they released the final version of the mod.A month after the alpha release of the 6 level version of the Dark Forces Mod, the DF Team is pleased to announce the final release of the mod. 95% of all reported bugs have been fixed. A few issues remain, but those may be addressed in small patch updates, fixed by the community at large, or remain unfixed. Hit the Dark Forces site and get the download.

TheUnderdog released a multiplayer, Soldier of Fortune map that is inspired by the Cube movie.Just as in the movie, there are dangarous rooms to enter. In the movie you will mostly die, if you enter, here the cubes only make little damage. Notice that in most of this rooms, there are save places to hide whitout hurt, like the shafts, crouch, sit in a corner, or climp to the top of the pale's. In the movie they use primenumbers to see if the room is save, we don't of course. Have a look at that Cube level.

Looks like Gigon has been mapping again and released a Capture The Flag map of which he calls CTF Junction.Players must make their way to the enemy base through the use of thin multi-levelled walkways and hovering worker robots, where the risk of falling to your death is always a possibility! There are also forcefield barriers that can prevent the other team from reaching your flag, but these can be overridden if you find the right switch at the center of the map. The screenshots for CTF Junction certainly look interesting. That level is on Elite Force Files! Goooo get it.

Well it's back to our normal scheduled programming.... Go forth and hit Jedi Knight Files on this particular Sun and Sky spot. The map is Free For All and was released by X3no.There's four platforms (that act as spawnpoints) connected to a central platform and on top of that one, there's a smaller one. There's also some pillars to spice things up a bit. And a tiny bit of land under the walkways for those dramatic reappearances when your opponent thinks you kicked the bucket or fell to the ground far below their feet. Architecturally, that's pretty much all there is. Hit Jedi Knight Files or not, there is no try.

I have to remind myself that Elite Force 2 isn't a Raven game.... heh. Sucks when you start typing up a news thinghy and then remember that fact and then have to find something else. So what did I find? Ummmm nothing.... because I didn't look and to be frank, I'm tired of all the Raven news being the same.... here is a map on whatchamacallit.files... again. So I'm just gonna think out loud or something. Who reads the Raven news on here anyways? Anyhow I was thinking that Raven sure is being quiet about Return To Castle Wolfenstein 2.... or whatever it's goin to be called. I took a look around and this article on Shack is from 2005, so they've been working on it for a bit now and perhaps we will see it released this year as this article and also this article mentions. I wish they would say something about it since it's been like 9 months of them being quiet. I like that there isn't a crapload of screenshots and videos and interviews being pumped down our throats, but it would be nice to get a little info. IMHO I would like to have them announce all-of-a-sudden that the game has shipped and here is 5 screenshots, a short teaser video and go buy the damned game and enjoy it. That would be sweet..... none of this information overkill hype-train spoilerfest that most developers release beforehand. Heh I started to rant there.

This one is a shop based map over a few levels. It has a nice atmosphere to it and is quite well made. That map is available thanks to Soffiles.

Here is a map that goes by the name VV Thrust. It is made for multiplayer in Soldier of Fortune 2 by Rebel.The map flows very well and has plenty of pickups so your never far away from a weapon.It is a medium sized map but would still make a interesting map with just a couple of players on it. Grab some VV Thrust over on Soffiles.

I so wish Raven would make another Jedi Knight game but that's probably as likely to happen as another HeXen or Heretic game..... Meanwhile if you feel like a Free For All in some Jedi Academy, then maybe have a look at this Senatu Sanctuary level that DracoLich put together. The reviewer did a sort of walkthrough description thinghy and here is a snip:Now, the first thing I saw was the hull of the Millenium Falcon located inside a hangar. The hangar itself is nice and roomy and home for the aforementioned ship and two X-wings. The pillars and girders are a nice touch, they gave me a feeling that this place was built in a bit of a hurry (maybe they needed a place to hide out really fast). Go forth and read more and get the downgrab of the Senatu Sanctuary.

Maybe it's time for you to inhabit this Imperial Abandoned Base? If so, grab it off of Jedi Knight Files.
