Forget EVERYTHING you ever knew about deathmatch.
What is Deathtag?
==================
Deathtag is a whole new approach to playing multiplayer Doom.
In the past, the purpose was to have as many frags as possible.
Deathtag offers a new purpose for two-on-two Doom II play, to
invade the opposing fort, reach a switch, and escape alive.
How do you play?
================
Playing DDAYTAG is very simple.
1) There are two teams, a blue team and a red team. Each team has their
own battlefield. (Green/Indigo = Blue Team, Brown/Red = Red Team)
2) The objective: In the opposing field, there is a switch that you
must reach. IF you hit that switch, back in your own field your partner
will be awaiting the door to open to access a radiation suit.
3) The radiation suit is needed because your team will then have to cross
a long pit of lava to reach a scoring switch. You can only get one
point per suit, and make sure you don't miss that switch when you get
to it (better be slamming on that spacebar once you start getting close).
4) Once your team has scored FIVE points (there are colored posts raised
up all over the map indicating each team's score), your team will THEN
have access to "The Flag" (remember, this is a capture-the-flag style
level). "The Flag" is a final switch that will need to be hit, still out
in the lava so an additional suit will be needed to reach it. Once this
final switch has been hit, at the exit a "RED" or "BLUE" sign
will raise and the level reset switch will then be accessible.
/*********THIS IS VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT, SO LISTEN UP!!!! :)**************\
| Note: You can ONLY take the suit out of your own fort. The blue team |
| gets their suit out of the blue fort, the red team gets their suit out |
| of the red fort. Obtaining the suit out of the opponents fort will not |
| help you to score a point. |
| |
| PS: INVADERS, follow the arrow of your teams color, and hit that switch |
| RAD MEN, go into your field, and wait by your colors door. |

5) Teleports: When you first start, you will see colored teleports. Going
into the blue will take you to the blue side of the battlefield, and
going into the red will take you to the red side of the battlefield.
6) Telefrags: Since frags are not the goal, telefrags coming out of the
starting area are frowned upon.
7) How can you see the score? Just take a look at the 2 different types
of scoreboards. One of them is located in the start, and you can gain
access there everytime you get a point. This is a very self-explanatory
scoreboard, and unless you cant read, you should be able to tell who
is winning. The second type is located at the place where you first
teleport. It is 2 poles inside of a cage, which has been placed inside
of on of the walls. Count the number of skulls to see how many points
you and your opponents team currently has.
That's it, play and enjoy! I hope that this wad goes far but i cant really
make it do too much without your help. So download it and then try it out
on your local dooming BBS. Dwango, or DoomNet [2198363060] [thats a call to
northwest indiana just so you know] are the best ones i know.
[PS: If you want to try out DoomNet, send an E-Mail message to MAC, and ask
really politely for a free trial. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP RATES!!!]
[PPS: DoomNet is APCi For now, but we may change to SIRDOOM if they dont
get APCIDESCENT and APCIROTT up and running very soon...]
