This text file gives brief descriptions of each of the CommBat levels in
this file.

The Big Empty
    As the name suggests, just a big empty room. This map is about as big a
    room as you can make. Just finding each other will be a chore. Heat
    seekers make for a lot of fun, though watch for mindlessly circling
    missiles in the center of the room...it is possible to kill yourself
    with your own missile.

Ouch
    A small map, ideally suited to hard and fast CommBat. Four rooms filled
    with dangers and weapons.

Great Balls of Fire
    A great level for the experienced CommBat veteran. So much noise and
    confusion that you won't be able to gain any unfair advantage. Great
    killing ground _if_ you survive to get a weapon!

The Grotto
    A large open abandoned room, filled with columns, elevated GAD's, and
    secret rooms stocked with healing and firepower. Great for the player
    who loves to play the sniper. Try it with ammo set to 1 for an added
    challenge.

ROUND 'N ROUND
    A small compact level with only a few weapons, but the corpses quicly
    pile up.

Don't Be Pushy
    Out in the open! Full of push pillars, push walls and tight spots.

Welcome to Hell
    For the true masochist. The goal of this board is to kill your opponent
    before the board kills you. This board is meant for the sheer fun of
    trying to get your kill score higher than your suicide score...good
    luck? There are 2 hidden rooms with healing and powerups, if you survive
    to find them.

A Pane in the Glass
    A large multipartitioned plane floating on the air. Full of windows, a
    few weapons and too many furshlugginer pillars. Very difficult to aim
    well, a real challenge at 1 ammo per missile weapon.

Monty's Hall
    Let's Make a Deal....door number 1, 2, or 3? Or, would you prefer to
    find the hidden rooms for an even greater reward? This is a compact very
    straight forward kill zone. A small board it is difficult hide on. Makes
    for high scores.

Greatest Show on Earth
    Lots of weapons and random powerups abound in this small very wide open
    level. Lots of jumping is required to get weapons, health items, and
    powerups. High scores will be quickly run up as players dash for weapons
    only to run into a glowing moaning enemy!

Through the LookingGlass
    Probably the weakest level in this group in terms of design. Lots of
    glass, a few too many random powerups. Two players in Dog mode barking
    at each other gets old after a bit. If the powerups are ignored, this is
    a great little slugfest.


A special note of thanks to Wayne Sikes who wrote the level editor Rotted
1.1 on which these boards were created...great little program!

All these levels have been heavily playtested and (as far as I know) are bug
free. Please let me know what you think of them, comments on improving them
are most welcome.
