Alrighty then, here's some levels and how I rate them, include my comments. Only the best, or mostly played, missions are here. Click on the mission name to download from my site, or click on the the list below the table to download from PooterMan's. Pointing your mouse at this link will make a window pop up so you can estimate how long it will take to download a certain file (A Javascript that calculates it for you). The size zipped are from my compression (which is maximum) You'll need WinZip, or a similar Zip handler. Unzip the Descent 1 levels in the main directory (i.e. C:\games\descent) and extract the Descent 2 missions into the MISSIONS directory (i.e. C:\games\descent2\missions).

***** | Razor Blade | "I love the custom textures, and even the custom music! Great level structure, good for avoiding shots." |

***** | Dan Wentz of Parallax Software | "Nice big level, although, it can get laggy on slower systems." |
| DogFight! | Already Installed. | **** | Parallax Software | "An O.K. level, but I think putting in EarthShakers is a bad idea. If I see only one total it's okay, but I found more than one. |
| Minerva2 | 47.4 KB 16.4 KB |
*** | Spaz | "Again, like Minerva, this level is played out. Get it if you want to play anarchy, but play on other missions too =)" |
| Earth Shaker | 50.3 KB 24.8 KB |
** | Doug "Blaster" Blair | "Nice big level, good for avoiding EarthShakers. Good thing too, because it has some in it. I rated this 2 because Shakers are easy kills." |
| Minerva Xtra | 45.4 KB 18.8 KB |
** | Modified by "Giggles" | "I've rated this so low because it lets you get the mega and shaker missiles. Again, where's the thrill of a 'Cat and Mouse'? It seems people are forgetting that!" Shaker = death. I hate that. |
