The 'Passion' map (previously known as 'christ.map'), was a popular map hosted by the group [[PlanetMoFo]] and other servers for some time.

* A three tiered central "cake" with crosses on the top, and tunnels running through the middle.

The current map has been re-made using 2.0 objects, and is now almost completely [[mesh]]. The center cake has been changed to look more '2.0', with the slight change in its shape, as well as the Planet MoFo FFA logo on the side and an Oscillation Overthruster camping spot. There were also further minor changes to the map in general. It is currently in its fourth revision.

In early 2007, billboards were introduced to display informative and amusing messages and pictures. They have been a great success since their launch, and Planet MoFo currently offer slots on the billboard rotation for those that have donated to the server.

This was one of the first additions of 2.0 elements to the original map, and was popular for some time. The crosses on the central cake were colored dark red, skewed to lean outward, and extended down to the ground through the cake's 3 layers. The middle tier of the cake was made drivethrough, and the flattened pyramids over the corners were replaced with a one-way mesh that tanks could not land on. The "MoFo in the sky" was also redone, this time using a flat mesh that flashed red and black.

This was one of the first attempts at 2.0izing the original map, and was popular for some time. The crosses on the central cake were modified to be slanted, and the middle section of the cake was drivethrough. The 'MoFo in the sky' was modified to be a mesh and flashed red and black.

Originally, the map also included transparent "glass" floors in parts of the center cake, but these were later removed because players were falling through them.

L4m3r adapted the Passion layout into a hexagonal map to create the Passion of the Polygon. Somewhat larger than the square Passion, the hexagonal version has 6 corners and uses 6-sided boxes and pyramids. Like the other geometric variations that followed, Passion of the Polygon was only used on the main server briefly as a novelty. However, L4m3r also used the hexagon for the "Steal the Bacon" game mode due to its symmetry for 3-team CTF.

Another map made by L4m3r. This map is entirely hexagonal, and everything in the map is similarly hexagonal.

A rhombus-shaped Passion was also developed for two-team CTF, with bases at opposing corners.
