Deathmatch Map DM MasinB

Here is an older map made by Cujo/Stigma with help from me and Hypov8.

I was trying to remember the name of a map I was thinking of the other day and finally remebered it was this one lol (after working on so many maps I can't be expected to remember them all :P).

DM MasinB is a large deathmatch map,converted from Half-Life,which is set in a warehouse complex. It uses standard Kingpin textures which suit the warehouse theme, has 16 spawn points and many interesting rooms to frag in. Just be careful when you go into the room to get the cooling mod as it has an electrified floor :)

You can download DM MasinB from here.

This is just a head skin so any body and legs skin can be used such as body_009 and legs_003.

Easiest way to select this skin is to:-

Pull down the console (tilde key ~)

Type in :-

skin "male_thug/sns 009 003"  

New Deathmatch Map - Kitchen Rats

Deluxive (aka Mr.Goodfinger), with a little help from me, has remade the famous counter-strike Rats map for Kingpin.

The map is set in a large kitchen with the players the size of rats. There is the main area of the open kitchen plus you can enter the cupboards and the area under the sink.

If you get to close to the stove top plates you will get burnt :)

The map features low gravity so it's a little easier to get around and adds to the fun factor.

It features a mixture of standard and custom textures, has 16 player spawns and ample weapons and items.

You can download the Kingpin Kitchen Rats map from here.

Just unzip/extract the files to your Kingpinvfolder and they will be placed in the corrrect locations.
