DM-UTKombat works with three players, give or take one. It might be a nice candidate for you and another gun-slinger to try online.

The map has an industrial theme, so you'll see a crate or two, some beams, and a smoking electrical panel that was obviously shorted out by the heavy downpour of rain outside. The place is small, so the one z-axis spot will take care of half the map or better. A ramp and a lift gets you above the action, while a short leap without a health penalty brings you down to earth.

The bots have a few challenges, including the lift, and defense points that they will use. But the lift is troublesome to them: They will run under it while it is up and churn into the wall until they are pounded on the head when the lift returns. Then they do it again. I also noticed them doing the elevator mambo at the top of the lift cavity, dancing back and forth. But they do use the lift successfully, just not as well as they should.

I like the item placement with this one. There's a flak cannon, shock rifle, and a bio globber. The bio was placed up high, just where it needed to be. The extra height advantage allowed you to fling green globs about anywhere you wanted. The flak was in a more confined spot (good) and the shock was in a spot where you had some range to exploit it. A damage amp is on a beam, but no boots to get up that high.

The lighting was pretty good, but a little more color might have helped. The author, ROB COLLINS OF VALIANT, made very subtle colored lights, but they seem a little too subtle; they're almost white. Lots and lots of sounds, and some music.
