- Title: DETHSTAR Version 1.1
-
- Author: Jaswant S. Hayre <a.k.a. BLADE>

-
-
- Description: A great DeathMatch level.
-
- This level is specifically designed for DEATHMATCH play.
- If you want to experience the ultimate DeathMatch level
- try MEGADETH by this author. It's the best available!
-
- DETHSTAR incorporates the use of enhanced weapons.
-
- Laser sights and MegaViolence mode are independently
- switchable.
-
-
-
-
- Story: You decide you've had enough of this fighting lark and
- accept the demons' invitation to tea and cream cakes aboard
- the Dethstar. Unfortunately, there's no Earl Grey left so
- you get a bit annoyed...
-
- This will be your toughest mission yet and you will have
- Earth's most advanced weaponry available to you: guns with
- laser sights, silencers and enhanced firepower!
-
-
-
- Gameplay: DETHSTAR is designed solely for deathmatches although all
- other modes are supported.
-
-
- Enhanced
- Weapons: DETHSTAR is an assassination mission and therefore gives
- you access to enhanced weapons. These incorporate laser
- sights for the pistol, shotgun and chaingun. (Laser
- sights are optional.)
-
- The laser sights are not used for the rocket launcher,
- plasma rifle and BFG9000 because these weapons have a blast
- radius and do not need precise aiming.
-
- The laser sights will auto-dim when you enter darkened areas
- to avoid giving your position away :))
-
- Like with the real thing, if you keep the trigger down on
- the pistol, shots will tend to wander after the first one.
- It is best to release the trigger after each shot. This also
- applies to the chaingun. Short controlled bursts of fire are
- most effective.
-
- For super-enhanced weapons, try MegaViolence mode.
-
-
-
-
- MegaViolence
- Mode: MegaViolence mode only operates with Doom V 1.2. You must also
- ensure you have at least 581 Kb free on your hard disc for the
- installation program to create a backup of DOOM.EXE. This mode
- gives you access to enhanced super-weapons :))
-
- In this mode, you have enhanced hand to hand combat, a quick
- -fire auto-pistol, a rapid re-load shotgun, a 2200 rounds
- per minute chaingun, a rapid re-load rocket launcher firing
- super high explosive ammo, a fast-fire plasma gun and a
- rapid-fire BFG9000.
