What are the better tunnelrat levels?

Brain Salal Surgery.
Skybox<-- bored of this one though

Canyon Siege

I'm thinking of this one level that is real good for rats, but what was the name? It was one of the early D3 user levels... Variance was what it was called, it is a two level set, both levels are really good for tunnel rat players.

Pryoglyphic

Brain Salad Surgery gets my vote.

I really like nirvbox in this case, dissent is good also

^X2 ... Man Variance Absolutely Rocks

Too bad they are lost and forgotten in the face of boxy, porly textured, or unlit levels.

Canyon Siege is one of my all time favorite levels.

Pyroglyphic, The Core, Ancient of Days, Kataclysmica, Burning Indika, Vamped.

This one is easy, Pyroglyphic

pyroglyphics is my favorite tunnel rat level. followed closely by canyon siege, then the Wet spot after that.

Get mad

Don't add that last one to your tally, Koolbear. ;P

Something else to take into account when picking what level to host on your server.

Currently there are 4 empty Indika servers, several skybox varaiations - mostly empty, 2 pyroglyphic servers - empty, a brain salad server - empty, a kata server - empty, etc.

Why not host a level like Variance or Canyon Siege that are not on any servers rather then hosting a level that already has servers running? If you are going to run a server, run a level that has a need, not levels that are already widely available.

As far as the Pyroglypic servers go, I prefer straight anarchy vs. team anarchy. If they were anarchy I'd be there.

Pyroglyphic easily

Canyon Seige sucks. Not a big fan of Variance either.

Let's do like AOD or somethin if people are too afraid of The Core. =D

Oh man ... Pit of Despair would be fun.

I'll vote for Pit of Despair.

Also, what about Roly Poly? ;)

moved ...

Get Mad. It was a joke level made by eyerate that was just a jumble of bad faces.

Wet Spot might be a bad level, but at least it was intended to be a real level. ;)

EDIT: And Roly Poly is a neat little level that's like a sphere with a middle and there are tubes that run along the sphere and connect to the middle. There is no up or down.

I'll tell you more levels when I get home tonight. Been so long since I've played other levels than the ones being hosted.

Are you planning to \"rotate\" levels?

It seems to me that one of the complaints we keep hearing is that people only play certain \"popular\" levels and have never even been exposed to the very good but less popular levels.

Well, how about an anarchy server that swapped levels every half hour (or even 15 min?). Make every other level one from the \"popular\" list, and the odd levels some of the gems that have not yet been discovered by most players.

I would vote for indika but there are enough servers up already and that level is actually too open to be considered for a tunnel rats level.

Vamped and athena in d3 are practically the same and i find them both a bit boring.

I vote for nocturnal 1.2

Clutch used to do that at LANs. He wrote a program that automatically generates mission files with 32 random levels in them and then distributes it to all the LAN players. We could do something similar with a custom mission.

Suncho, that would be good, have 32 levels in one mn3 or whatever (I'm no programmer) and have them set to 30 min a piece.

Would make it interesting.

Yes, a rotation is the intention.

Other levels

Anguish
Bill The Cat
Taurus <-- D2 demo 2
Circuit Breaker Reloaded
Faded Rose
Rome
Stone Cutter
The Shaft
Vanders Revenge

Vander's Revenge is not a level, it's a mission. Pulling Teeth is sort of a tunnel rat level, and Hash Bash is too open to be a tunnel rat level.

I would have to vote for Burning Indika 3...or Indika 5.

D3 Krackdown is a tunnel-ratter's dream. Try that one for a change of pace. (and eye candy)

Uhh... a tunnel rat level surely must actually have tunnels? The Core has maybe one, and it doesn't get used that much.

I'd be thinking more like Fusion Rat's Paradise, but then that isn't D3.
