Comments and suggestions are welcome.
This is my first Death Match wad and a
considerable amount of thought and comments
have gone into it's creation.
Misc. Author Info : Combat Systems Analyst DND - Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada.
Description : Replacement level for MAP01 for Doom II
There is no particular theme or story for
this wad, it is just a place where virtual
people may get together and kill one
another without getting any blood on their
clothes.
This wad is designed for a paticular type
of DM fighting. There are very few 'quick'
frags when playing but rather each battle
is normally a sustained test of dodging and
and firing skills. Some people have
commented that it is too easy for the
wounded to simply run away. Well there is
no 'simply' running away with this wad -
mouse users will particularily like the
long corridors down which can be chased
the wounded opponent firing away at their
back with the gattling gun. And
transports, well we all know the hazards
of using transports when the opponent is
nearby.
This wad is the culmation of about six
months of playing two player DM with many
people. (At the time of release it has not
yet been played by 3 or 4 player ... though
it should be very good for that - i'ts
quite large)
There is an exit ... try not to use it
until you actually want to exit.
Hints/Tips Note the transports on the central pillers
of each main room. The texture which is
visable as your about to tansport
corresponds to the room your about to go
to. The four sided transport in the dark
maze room will bring you to 1 of 4 of the
small alcoves behind one way walls in the
megasphere room. All transports in the wad
are multi functional except the wall
transports in the upper deck of the green
room. These are designed to allow you to
run completely around the balcony. Once
you get to know the transport system the
wad won't seem nearly as big.

ID of course ...
Scott Catterill, SYSOP of Ottawa's
unofficial Doom BBS, Heart of Gold; for
lots of documentation, utilities and
other wads to draw inspiration from.
My various play testers: Dan Kilbank,
Peter Hadrava (my stepson), Jim Biggar,
Jeff Hollands, Pierre, Mel and Justin
Benoit, Dave Sabourin, Cale Mccallum,
Chris Jones, and Mark Chultz all of
whom have died for the cause in the
creation of this wad.
Special thanks are extended to Dan Kilbank
who was in on the construction of this wad
right from the beginning. In fact, this
wad was inspired and created in the course
of the many many hours of DM we have played
together and our search for a more
sustained fighting arena - areas like
the green room owe their very
existance to design suggestions from Dan.
