Co-op: Cooperative play is for old ladies. Deathmatch: Yes New Music: Hell yes, and it CRUNCHES! None of those lame 'pan flute' vocals here! Notes: This levels should be played WITH monsters. There are only 4 of them and they are needed to get the full effect of the level. Description: This is revision C of the first map from ORIGDETH.WAD. ORIGDETH.WAD contains four enhanced versions of id Soft levels from the original DOOM. This map is identical to rev B, which is named ORIGDTHB.WAD, except the name has been changed at the request of a couple of different people. The two files are completely compatible. The map features a number of changes from the original design, ranging from a more balanced weapons placement, to structural changes. All of the main areas now have multiple ways in and out; the outdoor area has 4 ways, including two vertical walls that you can climb! The main focus of this map is the Archvile trap and the trap control room. The trap control room has a number of wall switches and floor mounted kick switches which are used to control the trap. It is positioned above the trap, so that anyone in there will have a good view of the trap area and can also see when somone is coming for him. The trap works by kicking the green floor switch when the prospective victim walks into the trap area (which they usually have to do, since it's in the middle of a bridge surrounded by acid). This will cause a ring of waist high posts to instantly spring from the ground, surrounding the victim. The next stage of the trap uses the wall mounted switch that looks like a demon's face. This will instantly lower 4 archviles, all of them facing the victim(s) in the trap. The archviles will NOT attack anyone in the control room; note that the victim(s) in the trap still can shoot up there, tho. Once the archviles have done their deed, the switch next to the demon switch will raise them back to the safe positions and the red kick switch will lower the posts, completely hiding the trap for the next victim. There's a switch near the teleporter that will lower it back down. In the event that the person in the trap control room gets killed while the trap is open and the archviles are blasting the crap out of everyone trying to get past that area, there is an emergency shutoff switch in the corridor behind the control room. The extra green kick switch is used to raise the teleporter in the outside area out of reach. That teleporter is often used to flush a person out of the control room, since if you fire a rocket just before entering it, there's a good chance that it will hit the person in the control room when it teleports ahead of you. If you're in the control room and see someone going for that teleporter, kick that switch and watch them fire the rocket point blank into the wall that sprung up in from of them!

All of the players on Greaser's Palace, with the exception of DoomKiller and Toilet, two complete morons with the combined mentality of a parrot. And finally, YyzDen (forever Keyboarder Scum) for suggesting the ARCHDETH name. ********************** ARCHDETH.LMP, DeathMatch Demo ************************ File Name: ARCHDETH.LMP Level: PWAD -=- ARCHDETH.WAD Skill: 5 Version: 1.9 Mode: Deathmatch Length: 13.5 mins (use -timer 13 to view the scores) Players: Infiltrator - Green - kbd ScottAllyn (me) - Indigo - Mouse/kbd Largo - Brown - kbd Deleos - Red - Electrodes attached to his ass Final Score: Infiltrator 25 (minus self ScottAllyn 34 frags) Largo 07 Deleos 29 Description: This is a great demo (tho a bit too short) recorded in ARCHDETH.WAD.
