The Happy Map Pack is a set of five Network Maps for Marathon Infinity, that also double up as great Solo Maps for practice. The pack contains:
-----------------------------------------------
Vörta Vör
My first map, and also the first in the series. It's a water-filled arena with a recharger down one side, and shooting galleries around the top.
Another Big House
A real gore fest, this one. Lava textures surround a triangular hill with platforms all around the arena. The platforms lead to many different rooms on different levels. It is hard to stay on the hill for very long.
Monsters from the Id
A hill in the center, surrounded by sewage, connected to the mainland by four bridges. Ammo and weapons are only placed around the outside, jealously guarded by the Aliens!
My Back Yard
A lowered hill protected by Goo in this strange Alien Supply base. There are darkened sniper ledges all around, but the platforms leading to them can harbour a nasty suprise!
Foul Play aboard station C.A.R.N.A.G.E
Force fields on the windows have been disabled in this Terra Fleet refueling base, plunging the station into Vacuum. Can you hold off the aliens with only a few BOBs to help you while being bombarded by the Jugernaughts outside?
-----------------------------------------------
Note
If you play with aliens on in network games or as solo practice levels, you will notice that there are plenty of aliens to keep you occupied, most of whom are the really cool VidMaster's Challenge grey ones. I challenge anybody to stay alive on the hills for more than FIVE (5) MINUTES when on Major Damage or over, without cheating or using any of the power ups hidden in the levels.
What can I do if I like them?
You could e-mail me or send me a letter, and maybe if you really like them, send me a film of you playing Net/Solo on them. Also, any comments, suggestions or improvments would be gratefully received.
How can I contact you?
Simply write a letter, fax or e-mail me! My addresses are supplied in the eCard that accompanies the package, and are also reprinted below for your convenience.

Known Bugs/Problems
• On My back yard, the screen occasionaly freezes up. However, you can still move, shoot etc and so can aliens. The best way to fix this is by turning round.
• On Foul Play on station C.A.R.N.A.G.E, one of the passegways is blocked by an invisible wall. I have checked with Forge and it is not checked as "Solid", and one of the doors makes you jump back when you try to enter it. You Have Been Warned!
