Deathmatch Map - DonnyDM2

Multiplayer Detour

A standalone multiplayer arena constructed mid-way through the project timeline.

  • Zero modern engine model-overhead, ensuring broad support across older retro ports.
  • Symmetric item distributions optimized for swift multiplayer map flow.
Playback Recommendation: If you can't find anyone to deathmatch with, boot this build solo and drop in a swarm of Omicron Bots to invoke that true late-90s LAN atmosphere.
