Title : FRACAS.WAD
Author : Chris Kane
Misc. Author/level Info : Thank God for DOOM! It helps keep me sane!
If you liked the level please let me know. I am very interested to hear
what people think. This level is a total revamp of try2liv.wad not just
a conversion to DOOM2. I spent as much time on new aesthetics and
sounds as on the original structure. Much of the underlying level is
the same but with many additions and new weird stuff. It's darker,
bloodier, more violent, and very visceral. If you don't come away
feeling weird then I failed. This wad is not for the beginning
doomer.

Level Info :This level is meant to be played stand alone and not
in the context of episodes or deathmatches. The monster placement is
logical within the context of this single level, what you find, and how
you play. The whole intent of this wad is supreme playability with
brains and brawn. This is not just a moster bash although there is
much carnage to be had. MUCH work was spent on feel and aesthetics.
You should get sucked in, your nerves rattled, chewed up then spit
out.
Description : Locked deep within the Bowels of Mars are the
playrooms of the Lords of Hell. Wave after wave of my buddies have been
sent down to wipe out the infestation. None have returned. I'm next on
the list. You would think that they could at least send me down with a
plasma rifle. I guess there's a shortage of weapons and ammo. I'm sure
I can find what I need down there off my dead buddies or what I kill.
They expect me to die like all those before me. They keep forgetting
that I am one geneticly engineered ^@###*$ BADASS !!
I am the "Wave of the Future" !
Additional Credits to : The makers of DOOM, DEU, and DMAUD, also to
the makers of the Aliens.wad for the great ideas, and most of all my
wife (who doesn't like DOOM but I still love her)

* Tips * (no spoilers)
OK folks. You have panther-like reflexes! You can deal with pain! You
live for the rush! Well .... this is a slightly different game. You
must have the reflexes but you also better have a brain! Keep your eyes
open. Things are there for a reason. There are subtle clues and
warnings. DON'T get locked into one form of play or thinking. You can
live if you are flexible. You don't have to kill everything or get all
the weapons to get through. Remember, there is more than one way to
skin a cat! Look, look LOOK!!
* Starting Tip *
Start aggressive then back off. At all times be ready to turn up the
juice. Don't try to figure out all the tricks and weird stuff first
time around just try to live. And watch your step !!
* Challenge *
I defy anyone to get through this level on the first try (on Hurt Me
Plenty) with no saves. It is not a monster fest but I don't think the
master DOOMers have the brains to go with the brawn. If you do succeed
at this challenge I want to know so I can pay homage to the true DOOM
gods and goddesses out there. I have heard they exist but alas, I fear
it is only legend.
After you die and learn the level. Be a stud and do the right thing at
the end. You'll know what the best DOOMers would do!!
* Note *
Every item can be obtained. I intended for one item in particular
(BFG?) to be unattainable. A true gaming god told me (the designer) how
to get it. It's so simple really.
I am humbled.....
