- Title : Let The Bodies Fall
- Author : Sufferin' Pup
- Misc. Author Info : Deathmatch fanatics everywhere! I love DM, you
- should to. As soon as I got a modem, the first
- thing I did was play Doom! This is my first
- shot(pun intended) at a level. It is just a remake,
- but it is incredible. I have played as long as
- 3 hours on this level alone! I think you will too.
- My next level will be all-new. Taking what I have
- learned from this, and adding much more, it will be
- great. Look for it, it is called:
- "Tricks of the Trade".
-
- Description : You like episode 1, level 5? I sure do, it is THE
- best Deathmatch level I have ever found. Even
- supposed "made for DM" levels by others can't stack
- up. It had problems, though. I fixed those, plus
- spiced up the graphics by adding many new textures
- from the registered IWAD. It is okay 1-player, too.
- A little easy, but how else are you going to
- practice? It is pretty fun on Nightmare, though.
- This PWAD will replace the first 4 levels of
- episode 1 with Let The Bodies Fall. So if the level
- is running low on health, or you want a true frag
- count, just end the level. The next level will be
- Let The Bodies Fall again, just refreshed!
- Check out BODY.GIF for a complete map of the
- level, with some labels so you can communicate with
- other Let The Bodies Fall players easily. There are
- few differences between E1M5 and this level, but the
- differences are important(some can only be reached
- in Deathmatch, or by using the cheat keys).

- I know this level sucks as 1-player, it is geared for Deathmatch. Don't judge
- this level by 1-player standards. Many people will see the word "remake"
- and push this aside. Don't. I only used the wall structure from E1M5, I
- completely erased the things and replaced most of the wall and floor textures.
- When I placed the Things in the level, I kept Deathmatch in mind. That
- Baron is not to be killed, but dodged as you get health and armor. There are
- shotguns near every Deathmatch start, and other weapons are placed with care.
- Enemies are for ammo, and to weaken and block the player's progress. That
- is why I suggest "I'm too young to die", but turn respawn on. This is how I
- designed the level to be played. Just enough enemies to keep the ammo
- flowing, and the players challenged while crossing the map(enemies are a good
- way to track an opponent also: follow the dead bodies!). Thanks for trying
- out this level, it was fun to re-make, and even more fun to test. I am sure
- I will be playing this level with others as long as Doom is around. I hope
- you will be playing it too.
