You can distribute this level as long as you keep GLENN.TXT with it. * Misc info * Having played deathmatch, there were several things I hated which drove me to make this level, for privacy purposes some names have been changed, any resemblance to real people is an uncanny co-incidence: 1) Free Frags - you press space and teleport right infront of Bobs super shotgun, bummer. In my level you start in safe places that can't be accessed once you have left them. Each start position has two exits so that they can't be guarded. 2) Being chased by Bobs plasma gun when you only have a pistol - I believe everyone has the right to bear at least a shotgun. There are weapons *very* close to each start position (Its a good idea to know where before you play) 3) Ambushing megaweapons - game gets a bit tedious when Bob waits for me to get a big weapon and then blasts me when I try - most weapons can be approached from more than one direction in this level and the ones that can't are not in positions to stage an ambush. 4) I'm kick'in Bobs butt, he doesn't like it so he ends the level - two people are required to end my level. The level is not too big, but it's big enough to allow you to fight when you want - not before you are ready (A problem I have with small DM levels) * Hints * 1) Learn the teleports, sure there are a lot of them, but if you know them you have a huge advantage over someone who doesn't. The Super Shotgun for instance can only be approched from one very ambushable position unless you know of a certain teleport 2) If you see a soul sphere, dont bother, it's impossible to get. If by some gymnastic feat you *do* manage it, you'll never get out again and have to yell for a mercy killing. This is a tip to reward you for reading all my ramblings. 3) Some potions give you more than 1% health. 4) On ultra violence this is designed to be played with respawn of objects and monsters (dont worry about the 2 monsters - they are there for ammo!). The health and ammo is enough so that even on respawn it gradually goes down. Easier levels just have more health and ammo scattered about the place. This is my first WAD but I have put effort into matching textures and using different ones ie I dont think it's beginners crap - there is no startan anywhere (well ok, thats because I replaced it) and since it's my first work I am very interested in your comments.
