- Misc. Author Info : Erwen Tang is a student at Thomas
- Jefferson High School for Science &
- Technology. Paul Robinson is a good
- friend of mine who likes to play DOOM
- and know a lot about the way wads work.
-
- Technical Advisor : Paul Robinson who figured out how to make
- some things in the wad, added single player
- and coop mode play, added an end-of-level
- switch, a signature, figured how to get rid
- of some HOMs, and removed three nasty moire
- effects.
-
- Description : You start out in the middle of an arena,
- if you are able to reach a teleporter, you
- can enter the second area. There is also a
- special third area you can fight or run through.
-
- What is different about this Wad that 300
- others don't have? Hint: look at the ceiling, :)
-
- 1. No bottlenecks: every spot has at least two
- exits; you can't be locked down. You also
- have to watch at least two places for
- enemies.
-
- 2. Better weapons selection: if you select the
- first two weapons levels, only shotgun,
- chainsaw and pistol are available. At level
- 3, chaingun is available and at level 4,
- rocket launcher is available. Why do this?
- We found in playing deathmatch, that the game
- became too easy with the plasma rifle or rocket
- launcher all the time. It also made the game's
- outcome depend on whoever got to the biggest
- weapon first.
-
- Shotgun and Pistol can be evaded. Plasma gun
- makes getting killed too easy. Rockets can
- kill just from the blast wave. The reduction
- in firepower makes the game more interesting
- since even an inexperienced player can do
- killing damage to a seasoned veteran.
-
- An inexperienced player is no match against
- a more experienced one even with equal high-
- powered weaponary. This also makes the game
- more fun since you never know what will happen.
