A basic level with three rooms: one for each base, and a center area.

This contains three rooms above ground -- one in the middle and two on either side surrounded by ramps -- and an underground complex with bounce pads that connects everything above.

This was the map that shipped with the Team Arena demo. It's a bilevel affair, with the base flags located on the high ground and the center area in the low ground with a connecting acceleration pad as a ramp above.

A fairly large arena, with large buffer zones between each base; first is an underground passage (symmetric on both sides), followed by a central two-level area in the middle. The center of the map is on the lower level in the middle; above it is a multipurpose powerup spawn which includes a personal teleporter. A hidden feature of this map is that the personal teleporter takes you to an isolated section of the map with a BFG and two teleporters returning you to the map proper.

A quite large indoor arena, involving multiple maze-like areas connecting the two bases.

A space arena, with three arenas: each and a central area. All are connected by "vortex portals," which act as teleporters that have a brief transit period where it looks like one is in a wormhole. There are three vortex portals on each base area; the middle portal, accessible via a bounce pad in the middle of the platform, takes you to the central area, but the flanking portals both take you to directly to the enemy's base platform. The central area involves several bounce pads, a portable back to each of the base areas, and an invulernability powerup.

Another space arena. It consists of several nearly-independent platforms, connected mostly by acceleration pads. Of particular note is the center area, which is suspended above the main platform and only accessible via acceleration pads, and an additional platform directly below each base which contains the team powerups.

A small tournament map.

A medium tournament map.

A medium tournament map.

A fairly large map in an S-shaped cavern, with the team bases on either end, such that the bases are not in line-of-sight of each other; the bases can be approached from both low and high ground. Roughly halfway to the middle from each base is a sniper watchtower complex, which is accessible from a bounce pad and connects to the high ridge ground. The high ground is along the cavern tops, and is accessible from both the watchtower and from a ramp around the rear side of each base. Crossing over the midpoint is a bridge.

Distant Screams is an absolutely enormous map; it is really too large to play unless there are many people on the server (ten on each team or so). (Fortunately, all Team Arena maps have pointers on the ground indicating the direction to the each base, making it easy to get reoriented.) There are primary bases and secondary bases connected by a passage (with a grenade trap) which goes under a mountain outlying each base. There is a center two-level area with ramps and bounce pads in water, with acceleration pads connecting it to the mainland. There are at least two sniper watchtowers (one overlooking a major juncture, the other overlooking an fjord and the BFG platform). Each primary base are packed full of powerups; secondary bases and watchtowers have a few relevant team powerups.

A modification of Q3CTF1, with an underground level connecting the two bases and the pit in the center of the arena.

A modification of Q3CTF2, with the addition of a second passage connecting the side chambers (where the rocket launcher and water passages are located) of each team's base to the lower level of the center area.

A modification of Q3CTF3, the major difference being the addition of a bounce pad that connects the lower and upper levels about halfway from the center to each base.

A straightforward modification of Q3CTF4. The only significant difference here is that the BFG is removed (replaced with a kamikaze) and one team powerup -- guard -- is available at each base.
