First Duke Nukem 3D user maps of 2012 released!

Category: Duke3D

2012 is looking like a promising year for Duke Nukem 3D as not one, but two new user maps have already emerged. With one having a city theme, and the other being a space station, there's plenty of variety to start off the new year.

For the city themed map, we have Parkade from Micky C and Paul B, a joint effort showing just what talented mappers can do with EDuke32's true room-over-room features. For those used to the traditional Duke Nukem 3D architecture: this map will blow you away! No effort has been spared here; the map is filled with all sorts of beautiful detail and players are encouraged to think vertically as well as horizontally due to the heavy use of new engine features in this Polymer-only map.  You'll see Duke fight through a multi-level parking garage, an apartment, an office building, and a secret EDF facility, all in the name of good old-fashioned alien ass kicking.

And for those of you craving some space action, Supertanker has been polishing Cherenkov Station, a twenty-minute romp through an abandoned russian space station. Duke must first travel into the bowels of the station to activate the slumbering nuclear reactor, then fight his way back out to the final showdown in the docking bay! Feeling more mechanical than high tech, Cherenkov Station isn't your typical space map, managing to strike a perfect balance between action and atmosphere, with great texturing, shading, and gameplay. Even if you're not a fan of space stations, give this one a chance to change your mind!
 
Both of these great maps can be found on our forums:
