Metropolitan Mayhem 15-Map Episode Released
Recently there's been a release of not just one, but fifteen new high quality maps all packaged in an action-packed episode for your convenience and pleasure. The authors MetHy (aka MetHunter), Aymeric "MRCK" Nocus, Mikko Sandt, and Merlijn van Oostrum are all veteran mappers with numerous high quality releases and countless years of combined mapping experience behind them. Having joined forces, they focused their efforts into making classic maps in the same style as the original Duke 3D levels you played and loved all those years ago. Debuting to unanimous acclaim, many have commented that this episode has made them feel like teenagers again playing Duke Nukem 3D for the first time, and if you try out the maps, then you'll probably see why.
This is what the authors have to say about the episode:
Naturally, it's recommended that you play the maps in classic (vanilla) style--that is, 8-bit classic renderer, no mods (e.g DukePlus), and no HRP. If you disregard this advice you will either a) burn in the eternal fires of hell or b) nothing will happen. But if I were you I wouldn't take my chances with the first one.

This is what the authors have to say about the episode:
Around January 2010 MetHy came up with the idea of making an episode in the style of the original Duke Nukem 3D city maps (episode 1, 3 & 4). Later on MRCK became project leader. The idea was to restrict ourselves: each map should be made in only 24 hours, including time not spent on building. While the basis of most maps respected this restriction, we also decided to take a bit more time to polish things, to end up with better results. We also decided to include Meatball Sub Makin', a previously released standalone map by MRCK, because its style fits perfectly with the rest.
The result is a total of 15 maps (including 1 secret map and 4 boss maps) respecting the style and feel of the original city maps.
