In that archive are all the maps that will get posted to MA 2 when Phaed is avaliable to compress and upload the files. In the mean time you can download them all and play them yourself.

Here are the maps that will got on trial:

Accelerator 2
Map Image
I found this map lurking around NaliCity. I was quite impressed by it. It's a large map, but not extreamly large. There is a low grav area in the middle of the map (think Lucius but with more ground).

Baranco
Map Image
This is a fun map, it is not symetrical but I don't think it affects the map very much. Its a pretty quick trip to each base but there is a lot of places to hide.

CatherineSE
This is just an update to Catherine that fixes a few bugs (getting stuck in the tubes to the other base)

Durante
Map Image
This is a fairly small map with multiple paths in and out of each base. All paths lead to the middle so expect many battles there.

Horus
Map Image
Large Egyptian style map with many paths and lots of places to hide. Not very many open areas so close encouters are going to happen.

Insane
Map Image
Very similar to the map Dreary, except not so dreary . Weapon placement is good and it's not as confined as Dreary was.

Oversludge
Map Image
This map has been on the Omega server for quite awhile, we usually end up playing this map on our practice nights. Its a fun map for a 4 vs 4 or 5 vs 5. The only problem with this map is that there is no music. Not a problem for most people, but I love to listen to the music when i'm fragging .

Overt
Map Image
This map is small, almost too small. Two quick dodges and you are almost on top of the enemy flag. One of those spam maps that the l337 hate . Many tunnels run around and below in this map.

Overt][
Map Image
Much bigger than the original but similar in style. This map also has a little bit of low grav that I either didn't see or didn't notice in the original.

Revenge v 1.1
Map Image
Medium size very nice map, lots of paths to take to each base. Two problems that i've noticed. No music, as I said earlier I just like to have music ingame . This map seems to have been made by a sniper rifle hater. Very little sniper ammo (I never found a ammo box, just a few single rounds). I likes my sniper rifle

Terramines
Map Image
Fun little map, good for a small player load. Shouldn't create a lot of spam either.

tnctf40
Map Image
This map is perhaps a little too small for it's design, it's fun but there is a lot of obstacles to manuver around. And there is lava to fall into

w00tabulous
Map Image
Very small map fast and furious. Lots of open space and nothing to hide behind. Defending this map is practically impossible, the team with the better flag killers will most likely win.

Zero
Map Image
Huge map, really big. Big. I wasn't very impressed with this map but we needed at least one big map on trial . No music on this map either but my biggest complaint is the weapons. Weapons are few and very far between. It can take a good deal of time to find a weapon, let alone a weapon that you like. However I'm sure some of you will like this map, I just don't really like big maps (Bad Neighbors comes to mind )

These maps are not going on trial (for the reasons below)

2 Chicken Pancakes
Map Image
Would be a fun map except for a major glitch. There is health in the blue teams base. There is none in Red teams. There is also no health in the middle of the map. The only way Red would get health is if they picked up the keg of health.  There is also 3 redeemers on this small map.

Aztek Pyramids 2
Map Image
I liked this map, I really did not want to cut it. However there were a few problems with it that bugged me. First there is an extremly easy to reach Instagib rifle in each base. (first room, look up) Also there is a hidden weapons room with every toy you could imagine stuffed into it. It's a little tricky to get to but once you figure it out it's pretty easy. It's not as bad as Midtowns hidden room (Invisiblity does wear off) but it does seem to take away a lot from the map. It takes at least 45 sec to a minute to activate the gate to the hidden room and reach it. Taking a person out of the game for that amount of time.

Baked
Map Image
Think Thorns with an ugly redecoration and a Instagib rifle. Lots of hidden stuff on this map as well, but it just felt way to much like another Thorns.

Blade
Couldn't get the map to load, the map was missing a file

Lambaste
Map Image
HTO You's first map I think. This is not a map for MA 2 there are only 3 weapons. And the layout would drive just about anyone mad I think.

Project X 1.1
Map Image
Another huge map, bigger than zero I believe. This one got killed due to horrible FPS. In one area (without bots or firing any weapons at all) it brought my Dual G4 867 Radeon Pro 9000 down to the very low 20 FPS range! It would be a nightmare online with more than one person.[/b]
