Your FAKK2 Level

Sep 28, 2000 6:10pm CST tags: FAKK2
Tom "ParadoX" Mustaine from Ritual updated his .plan file with the word that they are looking for a few user made map submissions to be included with their FAKK2Arena multiplayer addon for FAKK2 (I've played it, it's fun).

Please limit the number of arenas in a single map to 4 unique arenas. On average, most arenas should have 3-4 battle areas, each with a different weaponry choices and themes.
Also, please use textures we shipped with the game.
Once finished, All I will need is the .map/.scr and other relevant files, we will compile the maps here.

You can get arena specifications here or download the FAKK2 tools here.
