LavaNet is a map file for Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity with two levels, “LavaNet” and “LavaNet III.” Both of these network levels are modeled after the LavaNet offices. The difference? LavaNet III is more accurate. However from a gameplay point of view, accuracy makes no difference, as long as the maps play well. That’s why I’ve included both versions.
Game types
“LavaNet” is playable Tag, Every map for Himself and Kill the Man with the Ball.
“LavaNet III” is playable Tag, Every map for Himself, Kill the Man with the Ball and King of the Hill.
From the “LavaNet” Read Me
Game types
This map is playable Tag, Every Map for Himself, Kill the Man with the Ball and a new type, Kill the Customers. To play the three standard game types listed above, simply gather a network game of that type. To play Kill the Customers, you must gather an Every Man for Himself game with Aliens enabled.
Weapons
All the usual weapons are around. As for powerups (invincibility and invisibility) check for those in the bathrooms (where you might also find a SPNKR).
Secrets
To keep things fair, I have not added secret rooms to this level.
From the “LavaNet III” Read Me
The ball starts on the hill which is the middle room of the four linked rooms.
Notes
• The two buttons by the elevators don’t control anything. If pressed they will lit up for several seconds and they return to their original state. Tip: the buttons also activate if there somebody in the smaller room in the far office.
• Floor lights can be turned back on manually from one of the janitors’ rooms near the bathrooms.
• If you are feeling evil, you can kill the power to the Internet connection and all the computers by breaking the fuses located in a nearby office.
• Every room has a reason to be in I don’t just put them in because they are on the floor plan. Look for the rare weapons in rooms that seem empty all the time.
• If you can’t pick up some ammo on a shelf, it is because I am laughing so hard. Try getting on the shelf.
