Cool, this is another great pack from Bartman, the creator of the well-known episode “Agent Jackrabbit”. This time its a bunch of multiplayer levels using four different tilesets (namely MEZ01, Cheq, Metropolis Day and Hocus Pocus, all of them are elite sets).
The levels itself are really interesting, because Bartman is one of the most creative level makers i saw. He tries to put new effects and ideas everywhere, which makes his levels pretty original and somehow different.
Reminds me of “Another Jazz 2 fan”, who also created his own (sometimes weird) style. What i want to say is…eyecandy and design are great :-)
Well, of course, some levels are better than others (i didn’t like “Outer Space” for example).
The background music is a good choice, you can’t do much wrong with songs by Alex Brandon, Necros and Unreal Tournament music.

Overall, this definitely gets a DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATiON from me. Everyone should get “Jazz 2 Battle Pack” now and put it in his/her Jazz2 folder (oh btw next time i will subtract one point for the stupid name, really).

P.S.:
Unfortunately, the third CTF level (bartctf3.j2l) doesn’t work. Maybe you should use the re-upload feature :-)

In my opininion an above average level. Has a good layout and nice eye candy, however it did have it’s problems. One of them being that there were badly placed (masking-wise) tiles that got annoying. Like the radish somewhere along the left side of the level. That could/should have been placed in the foreground. Springs are good, though I felt they were overdone here.
I should personally note that you didn’t stash away the bonus stuff very well, I was able to get to every one without coins. :-)

Overall a decent battle level that’s BARELY worth your d/l.

Btw, PLEASE don’t include the tileset/music with in the ZIP, as Aiko said. It just wastes space.

"An Impossible Mission II" is a pretty decent battle level using one of the sets i don’t like too much :-)
But still, it has a good design and some eyecandy. In my humble opinion, it has too many desctruct scenery events, vines and springs, which makes the navigation a bit uncontrollable sometimes, but maybe thats only me.
Anyways, battle fans may want to add this to their collection.

Oh, just one thing: please remove the carrotus.j2b music file from the ZiP archive and re-upload it. I often wonder if people noticed that webspace isn’t infinite.

I was just wondering if anyone knows why the colours look wierd ie. with outlines (j2c doesn’t explain it well)

Each part of the sprite uses 8 colours. When you choose a colour, it and the seven after it are the colours in the sprite; thus if you choose 16 it will have all green colours. If you do 18, it will be a slightly darker green and the outline will be red. Maybe you could add that to the help area thingy.

My only problem is that there’s not enough ammo, and too many powerups. Also I like vines.
Still, a good level overall.

To get a rating this high, a set has to look better than the original’s. only 3 authors have done this. If you haven’t downloaded it, then download it or stick your head in a bucket of sand.
Oh, and my level using this set is coming soon :p.

Cool, i really like this pack. Esspecially the winter tileset and the two example levels. The “Snowfields” tileset has some helpful basic platform structures and some funky additional stuff like a snowman, flakes, a mountain, a weird tree etc..
And the example level is pretty neat if you ask me (check out the snow storm!).
The other tileset, “OldSands” contains about 75 tiles but isn’t that great, despite its based on “Snowfields” (or the other way round). The mask is, as iCED said, non-existant (“Snowfields” has one btw).One thing made me laugh though, this weird flying duck :-)But the Jazz animations are pretty useless und unfortunately there are too many blank tiles in both sets. I wonder why.

Apart from the very few downfalls, this is really worth seeing. DOWNLOAD NOW! Good work, CTKnux. (Of course, it could still be improved :-)

a very nice pack, with good points and also bad points if u ask me.
the levels are good, but can get a bit boring after some time. when looking at the first jungle lvl, i got a bit of a strange feeling as i didnt really had the feeling u were in a jungle ( the background was very bad, only some leaves) (2x feeling..hmm). the widescreen was vey irritating as messed up yer view, u couldnt see enemies coming from down u and that stuff.
the tarzan-like sliding was pretty kewl..but too short :-( but still good.
i think the creator has use way too much mez and more of those basic tilesets, he should have used more standard jazz lvls, or lvls with more nice thingies in them, cos i got a bit bored. the pack has some nice ideas, like a spycam (perfect dark?) and stuff like that.
i think u should download this and play it right away

i like the ducks idead :P
anyway i think its not a very bad start for a first set. it has nice open spaces as well as small paths. but it could have been much better if u had made your sets with more options. so next time try to make yer tilesets very nice, and the try to create a lvl with that tileset using all options. confused? keep going on and ull create a wonderful lvl someday

I think that’s referred to as a "mistake" Claw.

anyway, these battle levels are ok I guess. They are about average, but the tilesets bring them up to a 6. The way the levels were done I don’t like very much. The maze concept in the sand level is pretty unoriginal too. The layout/eye candy in the snow level was okay. Btw, you really need to know when to use @‘s in your text strings. :-) One major downfall of the tilesets: they have an awful masking. Make sure the masking is workable before calling a tileset "complete"

Overall barely worth your d/l, but only because of the tilesets.

(Btw, reset "Battle" as the playtype with the groovy edit info/re-upload function.. ;-)
