Duke Nukem 3D User MAPs

## Rating scheme:

- Pathetic level. Little attention to detail, buggy, and ugly. Worthless. Probably someone's first level.
- Playable, but overall a boring and hum-drum level.
- Decent level; kinda fun to play. But it lacks that special something to make it a definite keeper.
- Well designed level and fun to play. It's a keeper.
- A definite classic. Download this NOW!

- 2009.zip (105K, S/Info) -
  Wow, the first level to ever achieve my coveted 5.0 rating. This level is as good as or better then some of the levels in the registered game. I enjoyed it immensely. Just fucking GET IT!

- area51.zip (50K, S/Info) -
  Excellent level. Perfectly designed. Lots of switches to add to the game's puzzle. Nice spaceship--excellent and original. Consistent theme throughout level. Many cool secrets. I really enjoyed this one!

- hexhouse.zip (63K, S/Info) -
  Quite well-built. The last way you'd describe this level is "linear" or "boxy" ...excellent design. Huge level, and I got lost a lot. Fun puzzle, and perfect difficulty. Items are well-hidden.

- prisonr.zip (44K, S/Info) -
  VERY fun level; nearly as good as levels in the registered game. I did notice a bug in the water, though. Well layed-out level. Teaser at beginning is great! Surprises galore. I really had fun playing this level.

- boom.zip (24K, S/Info) -
  Fairly short level, but VERY well designed. Nice textures and well-shaded. This levels has LOTS of explosions, and lives up to its name. Contains its own music. Marc, on the other hand, thought it was too hard. Hmmmmm...

- discrete.zip (30K, View Info) -
  Pretty well-layed-out level. Long explosion, and lots of secrets. If you don't do it just right, you can easily get trapped.

- factory.zip (53K, D/S/C/Info) -
  This is a pretty well-built level. A lot of attention paid to detail. Other than a few minor bugs and inconsistencies, I really enjoyed this level. It makes a great DukeMatch level.

- holliday.zip (16K, S) -
  Very well designed! Quite difficult to get past all the monsters, and a nicely constructed puzzle, too. Finally, a fire engine in a place that makes sense! Great hiding places for access cards. Fun level to play when all your DukeMatching friends aren't home!

- kraven.zip (73K, S/Info) -
  This is a greatly-updated version of HOLLIDAY.MAP. Cool level. Perfect difficulty and well sized. I still love the well-hidden keycards. :-)

- oasis.zip (34K, S/Info) -
  Very long and difficult level, and quite fun. But some of the textures appear to be a bit out of whack. Could be a lot better with a little work, I think. Worth the download in my opinion, though.

- return.zip (28K, D/S/Info) -
  Well built, excellent single player level. It's not too long, but you'll have fun playing this level. Medium difficulty. Download this level now.

- allwest.zip (29K, S/Info) -
  First half of this level has excellent design, but the second half lacks that special something...This is a fairly big level, and pretty fun all in all. You need to find just one access card. Give it a try.

- dstar.zip (28K, S/D) -
  This level is really nicely designed. There are many towers with multiple levels of bridges spanning between them. But, it makes it fairly easy to get lost. I liked the trip-bomb traps. :) It takes quite a while to complete.

- hotel.zip (25K, View Info) -
  Cool secrets. Fairly difficult. A few minor design flaws, but overall nice.

- nail.zip (17K, S) -
  Reasonable length and difficulty. Decent layout. Fun.

- nailed.zip (22K, S) -
  Bit better and more fun than nail.zip. Good use of elevators and secrets.

- school.zip (29K, View Info) -
  Fairly decent layout of a school, but as such, there is no defined path for the player to follow. There are three secrets to find. Long and confusing at times, but fun. Good textures and theme. I only wish all those lockers opened, as well as the curtains... oh well still fairly fun.

- dukeprox.zip (43K, S/D/Info) -
  This is a pretty well layed-out level, but I didn't like playing it at all. There were a few cool secrets, but it was WAY too difficult. A TON of monsters, and only a few guns and VERY few power-ups. Maybe someone else would like it better.

- geo1.zip (7K, View Info) -
  Short and sweet.

- jc_ruins.zip (18K, S/C/Info) -
  Lots of explosions. Very difficult. Marc was quite annoyed by this level. I liked it a little more than he did. The rating for this level is a compromise. Check it out for yourself if you're so inclined.

- mymap.zip (5K, S) -
  Fairly easy, unless you play the level in the wrong order, in which case you can get easily stuck in a room with no exit.

- aadywarz.zip (5K, View Info) -
  Not too bad for a first level. Seems like a little overkill with the sprites and textures though. Good ideas but doesn't mesh well as a total level. I found this level MORE fun as a DukeMatch level. :-) To the author's credit: He encourages you to get ideas from this level.

- atlantis.zip (13K, S/Info) -
  This level is pretty well-designed, but QUITE difficult, if not impossible. I doubt the author of this level got through it without using cheat codes. Not much fun, really. Marc says it's just crap, but I think it could be quite a good level if the monsters and weapons were even out.

- flash01.zip (8K, View Info) -
  Pretty short. More than one way to get to the exit. Moving sector at the beginning. Rates about the same in DukeMatch, too.

- killfac.zip (8K, S/Info) -
  Looks like a boxy, Doom-type level. Perhaps someone's first level. Nothing special here. A few minor surprises. Too many weapons and monsters, not enough ingenuity. Textures for doors are messed up.

- night1.zip (2K, S) -
  Not much to say about this one. Probably someone's first level (and you know what THAT means). :-)

- bunker2.zip (3K, S) -
  Short and annoying.

- hol_hell.zip (2K, View Info) -
  You start off where you must fall down a VERY long shaft into a pit of BOSS-infested water where you have no chance of survival. I couldn't even kill them all in GOD mode. VERY short level. Hint: try using the steroids to get from the start to other side of the level. To the author's credit: It was his first level.
