Speaking of Duke Nukem, god damn, just beat the first level of Alien Armageddon and it's easily the best DN3D map I've ever played. The level design is really large-scale and non-linear yet never confusing. There's a lot of new sprites/textures, but they fit in perfectly with the stock textures and Duke Nukem tone. Some are downright hilarious. And there's so many new NPC's with full animation & rotations, there must be a really talented/dedicated artist involved. There's a few new enemies in the mix too, but they're not annoying/redundant crap like custom monsters usually are. They serve specific, balanced purposes and are used reasonably. There's even a few fancy improvements like footsteps that vary based on terrain. The whole thing is just so awesome.
