Number | Title of Level | Author
#1 | PC Gamer Presents: Dry Gulch | Neil Manke
| Author Neil Manke takes you (Coconut Monkey) back to the wild west but be careful your a wanted man and every gun in the town will be lookin for ya... |
#2 | S.O.F. Mission #3: Operation: Desert Bloom | Neil Manke
| The third mission in the Soldier of Fortune series... Momar Daffy has been creating biological weapons and it's your job to destroy them, find Dale your partner in crime once again, and get out... |
#3 | The Widening Gyre | Carson Utz
| The best pure Quake 2 style map I've played to date, better than id's own... The author has also recently been hired by Broderbund Software to work on their new game Prince of Persia 3D and when you see this one you'll know why... The Widening Gyre is an absolute treat to look at and game play is just as good... |
#4 | On Sacred Ground | Jack Davis
| This is an excellent three map unit where you must destroy the evil Jorg... To do so you need the Sacred Crystal of Stroggos...Good luck soldier you'll need it... |
#5 | SLAUGHTERSHIP | Neil Manke
| Neil combines two of my favorite Quake 1 maps (Starship and Slaughterhouse) into one... Done in a space theme and done very well I might add... You believe you are in space from the shuttle ride all the way through... |
#6 | Paradise Lost | Neil Manke
| Neil teams up with PC Gamer for the first installment in the Coconut Monkey series... Although a very tough map Neil brings a bit of humor in the mix with this one... Watch out for the lava... |
#7 | Ghost Town 2 | Roger Staines
| Two of my favorite authors team up in this map... Roger gets a bit of texture help from Neil and the result is a very fun, very creative map... It also has an amazing 15 secrets for you to find... |
#8 | Soldier of Fortune Inc. - Mission 2 | Neil Manke
| After a very long wait Neil finally makes his Q2 debut... It landed in the #1 spot just 24 hours after release... It's dropped a bit since then but if you look above you can see why, he's made 4 other maps... My favorite of the S.O.F. series this map is an absolute treat to look at... |
#9 | Castles of Stroggos | Brian Griffith
| This was the authors first map and a very good one at that... It's held it own in the top 10 for quite some time now... Hard to believe he's only 15 years old... I'm looking forward to his future work... |
#10 | Defiance | Dave Waters
| The newest addition to the top 10 is a 6 map unit that's everything you want in a single player experience and then some, and it comes from a death match guy... Dave has made about a million dm maps but this is only his second single player map... Be sure and mail him so he stays with the single player scene... I've had a sneak peek at the sequel to Defiance and it looks even better... |
