 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:04 PM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

CTF Mace is a CTF map for Elite Force.
Here we have a first from >=TFF=Dangel=>, this CTF map bares some resemblance to a few of the maps already in holomatch. CTF_Mace is a reasonably simple map with an easy layout, perfect for those new to the game mode wanting to practice.
Grab that CTF map off of Elite Force Files.

 Tobe's Vampire Skin
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:30 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Tobe released a Vampire skin for Jedi Academy.
Now, this isn't your typical Count Dracula vampire. This vampire seems to come from a more creature-esque background, a crazed bloodthirsty denizen of the night. As such, Tobe gave his creation H00GE CLAWZ. Seriously, these things would make Freddy Krueger look inadequate.
Grab that file off of Jedi Knight Files.

I was looking through the Quake 4 maps on Map Factory and I found one by phantazm11 that is called Dark Ritual, which I haven't noticed before. The level is designed for deathmatch.
Final release of Dark Ritual. This is primarily a duel map, but has support for small TDM matches also. The map contains all new custom textures which will be released separately soon.

 Vergil's Yamato
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:26 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

I have hayfever after going outside..... yeah outside. Damned stupid thing to do. Also here is Vergil's Yamato which is a sword for Jedi Academy.
Marshal Banana brings us a new sword to add to your collection. This one is supposed to be a replica of Vergil's weapon, from Devil May Cry 3. I tried looking up some reference pictures, however failed miserably, therefore can't vouch for how close this is to the DMC version.
You can get that on Jedi Knight Files. Just don't go outside, you'll get hayfever or sunburn or fly bites or some other Summer crap.

 Starburst Sabers (v2)
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:53 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

If you need some new sabers then maybe you should check out these Starburst Sabers (v2) by Redeem.
The effect created here gives them a kind of exploded look, or a prickly look... Heck, they look like a starburst. It's not only the best adjective, but it's really the only suitable one.
For some reason there's no screenshots.... those sabers are on Jedi Knight Files.

 Lara Croft Skin
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 7:44 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Due to Lightsource there's now a Lara Croft skin for Jedi Academy.
Now then, Lightsource, an author who is quickly making a shine in the community, has made a rather interesting likeness of Lara Croft using the Jan model. Naturally, I checked around, and I'm guessing this is based off of a later game variant.
Here is Lara Croft on Jedi Knight Files.

 Blue Up Your Quake 4
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:32 PM
Category: Quake IV

LDAQ4 is a texture mod that changes most of the things in the game to blue.
This is a mere texture mod that changes much of Quake IV's green marine theme (characters, weapons, items) to blue. It's an extension of my earlier "Dark-Bloody Strogg Kane" texture mod and as such includes all of that earlier "mod" content. This is basically my own personal "theme mod" being a blue fanatic, I've been obsessive recolourising a fairly large portion of the Quake IV content, Strogg-Kane being the main reason for this whole package. Quake IV really is a pretty cool game and I hope some can enjoy it more with this theme mod. I would have liked to have made a bunch of SP maps with this too, but I don't like to think of how long that would take with everything else going on.
LDAQ4 is available over on Quake 4 Files.

 After The War 2.1
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:16 PM
Category: Quake IV

If you put a hit on Map Factory you can find a Quake 4, deathmatch level by the name After the War 2.1.
This map is sort of an homage to Hexen and Quake 1 with its medieval design and autumn motif but it is set during the Strogg invasion of Earth around 2065.
After the War 2.1 is waiting to be checked out....

 Mercury Camp
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 5:20 PM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

Gigon released an older deathmatch level of his that has a Captain Proton theme which is called Mercury Camp.
Mercury Camp is a Deathmatch map which is based on a Captain Proton feel, I found that the most interesting feature of this map was the rocket ship that bared some similarity to the one seen in the Captain Proton holodeck simulations run in Star Trek Voyager. While the map itself is completely back & white the weapons and item placements were not, this I felt damaged the overall atmosphere of the map.
Have a look at the Mercury Camp.

 Deathmatch In Evalia
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:14 PM
Category: Quake IV

I was on Map Factory and noticed this Evalia map that slipped under the radar. It's a small deathmatch level made for Quake 4 and is designed for for 1on1 fights by Dade. Might be worth a downgrab, so go check that out on Map Factory.

 Kat Has Some Sharp Klorrs
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:54 PM
Category: Quake IV

kat released a deathmatch map with a cave theme for Quake 4 that is called Kat's Klorr that was made using Blender 3D. Not sure why they didn't review this map, it certainly looks interesting from the screenshots. Anyhow that is all on Quake 4 Files.

 Coruscant Stacked
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:18 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Coruscant Stacked is a Free For All level made for Jedi Academy and is made by acdcfanbill.
This map works nicely with saber duels or FFAs, but is much better for small to medium sized gun FFAs. There are plenty of places to run to, but enough empty spaces to make it a challenge getting from place to place with enemies about. It does fit a sort of Quake-ish theme, with it being a small map, yet with many areas to run to.
You can check that out on Jedi Knight Files.

Jordan Village is a multiplayer map for Soldier of Fortune 2 by vicctor.
Players find themselves in an undeveloped village in jordan. Many buildings under construction. The map offers opportunities for both short and long range shooting and it allows for quick assaults and fast getaways.
That map is on Soffiles.

 Battlestar Bellerophon
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:12 PM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

Battlestar Bellerophon is a Elite Force level that is designed for Holomatch or Team Holomatch and requires the Enterprise NX01 Teaser mod.
I was most impressed with the command centre of this map as it really does reflect the set of the Battlestar Galactica show. The command area is split up into two levels, the upper area consists of several wall displays and a few consoles around the edge of the lower area, as is in the show. In addition to the command centre was a variety of different rooms including armories, crew quarters and a hanger deck.
Check out the Battlestar Bellerophon.

This pack includes everything the old one did, plus some new extras. Again, we see normal Loeb, his blue and red variants as well as golden Loeb. The two new extras are a battle worn version of Loeb, and his arch nemesis.
Check out that Loeb Pack.

Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

Once more we hit Soffiles to check out another map, this one in a deathmatch flavor that takes place in a sl_junglehouse.
This is a small to medium sized map supporting DM only, and will host 6-10 players.
Soffiles has the goods.

 Concrete Station
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:51 PM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

Gigon uploaded a CTF map to Elite Force Files that has the title Concrete Station.
The idea behind Concrete Station is of a Holodeck Tactical training simulation, I felt that the emblems on the wall really helped add to the overall atmosphere of the map and increase it's unique feel. With plenty of open space and a variety of routes to the enemy flag this CTF map is most definitely enjoyable and a worthy addition to anyone's collection.
Now would be a good time to go capture some flags!

 Karl Kroenen (2.0)

Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Karl Kroenen (2.0) has been released by Saschi for Jedi Academy.
The author took the heeding of her peers' criticism and switched models this time. Rather than using the Imperial model, she hath switched to the shadowtrooper =_= a fine choice indeed.
That celebrity skin is available thanks to Jedi Knight Files.
