I'd like to appolagize to everyone out there who downloaded the buggy first version of this. Buggy nothing, it crashed every level that used the Daytime sky texture. Well I found the problem. Apparently I made the levels with an old version of Phforte 2.0 and checked over the levels with a new version. The new version mixed up the landscape textures. I promis that this will absolutely posatively not have the same problem. I would have fixed the maps sooner. But, well, I didn't care. But now I do.
... whatever. As I was saying this is an 8 player network map created throught blood sweat and lots of coffee. So don't worry, I won't mind if you don't E-mail me in response(stated sarcastically)
This new map file of mine kicks serious shift 244 and I'm sure you'll like it. I feel bad because I put some of my work aside to play around with my levels. What can I say, I'm a Marathon adict. This is the first full map that I'm releasing for Marathon2. Unfortunately I'm only making one more map after this (Fodder) and then I'm going to be hanging up the old Phforte. Or at least until the next Bungie release (M-thon Infinity doesn't count, it's the same as M-thon2 with new textures & enemies... sorry) My reasons are this, Too much work to do on Sector 72 and not enought time for Marathon. If you do E-mail me don't expect a response anytime soon because since the brainiac programmers of Sector 72 changed the format I have barely any free time left. Well I'd better tell you a little about the levels shouldn't I.
Level 1- Seige has it's Price is mainly a King of the hill board with a giant tower in the middle of the room . (secrets: 1)
Level 2- Zsu temple(fixed) is an enforcer training ground with 2 levels of battle. (secrets: none)
Level 3- Whatever 2(fixed) is a lot like Whatever 1. Except for a few modifications it's the same insanely fun level. (secrets: 3)
Level 4- Weird is a great little level that really isn't weird, it just doesn't make sense. It's a load of fun though. (secrets: 1)
Level 5- Waldo World Millitary Camp(fixed) is a playful conglomeration of the best parts of the best maps ever. All centered around the fun little waldo world Arena (secrets: plenty)
Level 6- Feel the Burn 2.1(fixed) is the new improved version of my 'flamethrower hide n' seek' board. It's the same as FTB2 only it has lighting. (Secrets: 2)
Level 7- Rimmer World is a surface sewage dump. It makes a lovely little playground filled with weapons and hidding places. (Secrets: 1)
Level 8- Titan's Fury is just plain cool. It's a 6 player level in which 5 people start out as gods (w/ Fusion Pistol & x1 invisibility) and one person starts as the Titan (w/missle launcher, x3 life , and invinciblity). Then everyone teleports into one happy little arena and the sparks fly. It's customary for the gods to gang up on the Titan and it's also a rule that you pick on the person who starts out as Venus.
It's that time again. Time to trench through this file description. Yipee!

THE END
PS:My appologies to everyone who's version of Marathon 2 this crashed on in the orrigional version. I went over the finishing touches with my boards with a new version of Pfhorte that switched around the Landscape textures. Put simply the game was trying to put a non-existant sky texture into the levels that used the daytime texture. But I already said all this. I'm just appolagizing once more. Oh, yes and there's a demo of my upcoming single player/co-op map.
