    Giant Flaming Pit of Lava

    Remake of the classic Marathon 2: Durandal map, for FFA Slayer and Oddball

    This map is as close to faithful as I could get it; of course the lava had to be replaced with killballs, and the limit to lights is too small for the full red colour effect. Other than that, I feel that this remake is quite accurate. Here are some screenshots of various areas:

    The elevator: Once again, due to the physics of Reach, this elevator only goes up, unlike the original, which went up and down.

    Now for some action shots...

    FINALLY! A TRUE MARATHON FAN. I have been waiting for somebody to remake this forever!
    Btw, what did you replace the flamethrower with? And this the only true remake i have seen.

    What you could do is use a grav lift for the elevator, that way you can jump down, and then use one way shields and kill boundaries to make it look more like lava.

    Actually, I didn't replace any weapons other than the Assault Rifle (Needler). In my playthroughs I didn't come across a flamethrower, but I suppose the plasma rifle takes the place of no weapon at all.
    And YES, MARATHON FANS UNITE! lol

    Edited by merge:


    That's actually a great idea. I did run out of shield doors, but that could actually help out quite a bit. Thanks a lot, I do plan on making a V2 after hearing some feedback.

    The flamethrower is in one of the tunnels that are in the lava, but i suppose it is impossible since you cant go through killballs alive. Also, do you think it would possible to forge one of the survival maps? like make enemies a little bit tougher each time they die

    Ah, I see. Well actually, I just put a Needler in each tunnel, but... There is a way to go through Killballs without dying; simply place it behind (or under/over/next to) a wall, and walking through the part coming out of the wall doesn't kill you. It's hard to explain, so an example: On this mpa, the Killballa are UNDER the floor, so walking on the floor won't kill you.
    And I didn't know the flamethrower was there; when I make the V2 I'll probably think of something to replace the 2nd Needler with that can be closer to a flamethrower.
    As for Survival, I can't say I've ever played it... Sorry.
