Misc. Author Info       : Let me check the mirror...
Description             : I hate unfair death match levels. You know them-
                         one player gets a heavy advantage early in the
                         match, blows away the opposition and remains
                         invincible for the rest of the match. Boring...
                         even when it's you.

                         HALF A CHANCE provides limited ammo, medicals
                         and only offers the standard armour. Weapons are
                         available but you'll expose yourself to fire
                         and/or have to take damage to get them. The
                         only powerup is the shadow sphere. Any advantages
                         a player gains are temporary and there will
                         be a price to pay. This is a small level. It
                         offers plenty of cover and invisible sniping
                         locations but you won't waste a lot of time
                         finding your opponent(s).

                         If you like monsters, a few imps will keep you
                         alert. If you prefer humans only, use the
                         -nomonsters parameter when loading Doom.

                         Skill levels are not implemented. Instead,
                         they are used to vary the weapons. In Doom,
                         levels 1 and 2 provide the shotgun and
                         machine gun. Level 3 trades the rocket launcher
                         for the machine gun. Levels 4 and 5 offer the
                         shotgun and plasma rifle.

                         Doom II gives level 1 and 2 players both
                         shotguns. Level 3 drops the super shotgun but
                         brings in the machine gun. Levels 4 and 5 arm
                         you with shotgun and rocket launcher.

                         In multiplayer mode the exit is cooperative;
                         the single player exit is blocked off.
                         One player will have to throw a switch to make
                         a distant actual exit switch available for a
                         second player.

                         It is intended that deathmatch play use
                         -altdeath version 2 rules. A batch file is
                         included to respawn monsters and items for
                         single player practice.
