THE CRUCIBLE

In order to provide a bit of spice to MWC99, and achieve a bit more variety than can be found in Bungie's Myth II maps, some games in the later rounds will be played on maps provided by third-party plugins. In order to participate in matches which feature games on such maps, all players will have to download the plugin, uncompress it (using WinZip for PC, or ZipIt for Mac) and place the plugin file in the 'plugins' directory inside their Myth II folder.

THE GREAT DIVIDE

The Great Divide pits massive armies against each other upon the scorching sands of a blasted desert, where a wide canyon separates mortal enemies... for a brief time.

Contains light (The Great Divide) and dark (The Dark Canyon) meshes, both 2-team and 4-team. A map by Badlands. You can download the official MWC99 version (v1.0) from The Mill.

LICHEN UNTO DEATH

As Forest Heart stretches south into the Untamed Lands, its character changes profoundly. The great trees and dense underbrush of the north give way to a lush jungle, where wide rivers wind their way lazily through valleys teeming with life. In one of these verdant enclaves, two forces struggle for control in the shadow of temples ancient beyond our understanding.

Contains a single 2-team mesh. A map by Badlands. You can download the official MWC99 version (v1.0) from The Mill.

THAW BEFORE THE STORM

The wind-swept snowfields of the Northlands breed a particular kind of person. Only a madman could live in a place where the sun sets for months at a time, and the air strikes daggers into a man's lungs if he dares to taste it unprotected. Yet those who eke out an existence here take a fierce joy from lives spent under the icelight.

Contains a 2-team (Calm Before The Storm) and an 8-team (Thaw Before The Storm) mesh. A map by Badlands. You can download the official MWC99 version (v1.0) from The Mill.

CREEP ON THE BORDERLANDS

The Borderlands have drawn armies for years, seeking to prove themselves through combat. Now the overgrown paths and crumbling walls echo once again with the sound of battle, almost like a familiar lullaby.

Contains a single 2-team mesh, a faithful conversion of the Myth:TFL map of the same name by those hardworking fellows at Badlands. You can download the official MWC99 version (v1.0) from The Mill.

KEEP ACROSS THE RIVER

In the countryside near to Willow Creek, two crumbling forts stand on either side of a strategically important fork in the river. Abandoned for as long as anyone can remember, ancient battlefields are now planted with silent orchards, about to be disturbed...

A conversion of the classic M:TFL map by Mormith. Contains many 2-team meshes, but the one to be used in MWC99 is "Keep Across The River (TFL)". You can download the official MWC99 version (v1.0) from The Mill.

SMELLS LIKE DEATH IN HERE

Deep in the maze-like corridors of the Baron's castle, footsteps echo upon the tiled floors. Between the bookshelves and the candlabras, men will fight and die, their life's blood drunk up thirstily by the thick, soft carpet.

Bellendaine has expanded this previously-released FFA map to include 2-team meshes for use in MWC99. This map is available on MWC99 Hotline, and may also be downloaded from The Mill.

CAER CADARN

In the southern fringes of the Ermine, a lazy river winds its way through a forest scarred by years of logging. Craggy outcrops jut towards an overcast sky, and the crackle of distant lightning rumbles just over the horizon...

Contains a single 2-team mesh. A map by Badlands. You can download the official MWC99 version (v1.0) from the Badlands website.
