There are still heaps around, if you do a search.

But I can recommend some of mine!

From my Levels page

http://boraxman.strangled.net/levels/#quake-2-levels

I would recommend
"Dens Palace"
"Orbital Fortitude"
and if you want, a 5 level unit
"The Ulysses Project".

All available at that link.  I also got into contact with a Russian mapper,
Pavel Shangin, he started making levels after reaching out to me.  Never heard
from him since, but he made quite a few, which I've got on my site too

They're pretty good too!
