Known Bugs              : One of the arena windows becomes opaque when viewed
                         from a certain angle.  However, it is only a minor
                         bug and does not affect the gameplay or speed.  If
                         you know the solution, I would be grateful to hear
                         from you :)   I tried forEver, but still could not
                         find a way to squash it.  Ah well.


* Rules *

Objective:

  -  to win.  hey, it's true :)
  -  to score points by deactivating your opponent's HQ, and to defend your
     own HQ against attacks.  The first team to reach 100 points wins.

Starting off:

 1.  All 4 players start off in the briefing room.  Split into 2 teams, Red
     team and Green team, and enter the appropriate door.  Be sure to grab
     a weapon before running down the stairway.
 2.  When you enter the arena, you will be inside your own HQ.  Decide on
     who will stay to guard the base and who will attack.
 3.  If you die, you will start back in the briefing room.  Again, be sure
     to enter the side corresponding with your team color.  You will then be
     teleported into the arena in one of 4 locations.

How to score:

 1.  When you reach enemy territory, you will notice a partition in front of
     their base.  On the outside of this partition is a button marked
     "DisArm HQ".  Press the button and you will hear a loud warning tone.
     This tone alerts all players that the base is now vulnerable to attack.
     An opening on the wall will appear inside the HQ.  This opening will
     only last for a few seconds before closing again, so you must hurry.
 2.  Run around the partition into the base.
 3.  Now stand on the blue steps facing the wall opening.  You will see a
     small colored dot deep inside the wall.  Line up with the dot and shoot
     it before the opening closes.
 3.  If you successfully deactivate the base, you will hear a fast, high
     pitched siren followed by a low rumbling sound.  The rumbling sound
     will last for 30 seconds, during which you will not be able to
     deactivate the base.  Wait for the sound to stop before repeating
     steps 1-3.
 4.  Check the scoreboard.  Each HQ hit counts for 10 points.  The game is
     over when either team reaches 100.

Hints:

 1.  Use teamwork.  Have your buddy press the button while you're inside the
     enemy base.  This way, you won't waste any time running all the way
     around the partition.  You will get more shots using this method.
 2.  If you have trouble lining up with the dot, run forward against the
     wall while using the left/right mouse turning for fine adjustments.
 3.  For best results in hitting the dot, use the regular shotgun or pistol.
