Mike, I'm surprised you think the standard maps are too big. q2dm1, which is 
about the same size as most of them, was endlessly played as a 1 on 1 map. 
Most of my favorite maps are about this same size.

ptrip, a Headshot map, is an excellent smaller map designed for 1 on 1 play. 
But with 4 players you will find it pretty crowded. I know a some even 
smaller maps but they are really for rail only.

You install the map by putting the bsp file in quake2/baseq2/maps directory. 
Depending on the map you may also have to put pcx and tga files in 
quake2/baseq2/env, wal files in baseq2/baseq2/textures, and wav files in 
quake2/baseq2/sound.

Have fun.

Well, we are spending more time looking for another player than
fragging, which gets a bit boring after a while.

Thanks.

Simple really.  Thanks again.
