The Stadium
--Tempus Irae Edition--


Author: Scott Noblitt

The Stadium is a medium size netmap which supports all modes of play. Although it supports up to 8 players, the reasonable maximum is 5 or 6, and even they will probably produce high death rates. This version uses the Tempus Irae Pfhor Texture Set and has been submitted to the Nardo Mapmaking Contest.
The Stadium should be low enough bandwidth (128 polys) and small enough for 2-player matches over the Internet. Don't let anyone tell you it's impossible, because it's not. Go to Bungie.org Hotline to find the modified NetLink and opponents. If you want to play against me, look for SNoblitt, my name on Hotline.




How They Were Used:
Polygons and lighting were created with Pfhorte. Original texures were done with a combination of Pfhorte and Forge. Tempus Irae textures were done with Forge and Nardo Forge. Marathon Map Splitter and Scalpel were used to smooth the transition between Pfhorte and Forge. Marathon 2, Infinity, and Tempus Irae were used to test the map. My thanks go to the authors of all the above applications.


The Past And Future Of This Map And Me:
This map has a past already, having gone through more than one incarnation as an unreleased Marathon 2 map. In the future, it will resurface as either a map in one of my netpacks or in Pfhorathon. No matter where it appears again, it will be in either the Pfhor or Jjaro textures, as those are my favorites.
As for me, I have a past too. I have created one netpack, a 35-level monstrosity called Levels of Lh'owon. Sadly, the aesthetics in these levels are lacking, and I'll be the first to admit it. I have also released one solo scenario. Escape!! is a 7-level adventure designed for the Marathon 2 textures. You can find all my works at http://209.174.244.4/Scott'sPage/Scott.html
