Quake 4 multiplayer map pack released

This year, while tamer gamers are snug in their beds with visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads, PC Quake 4 players will have railgun rounds whizzing by their noggins on a trio of new battlegrounds, thanks to the Quakemas Map Pack. The 24MB file features the new maps Railed, Tremors, and Campground Redux, and can be downloaded from GameSpot.

Designed for competitive play, Railed puts the focus on close-quarters combat and supports Tournament, Deathmatch, and Team Deathmatch modes. Set in an underground cavern with plenty of pipes, bridges, and catwalks, Tremors is meant for team play. It supports Capture-the-Flag and Arena Capture-the-Flag modes. Campgrounds Redux is a throwback to a popular Quake III map, and supports Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Tournament modes.
