-
- This level is an attempt to make a good single player level that
- would also work well as a deathmatch map. I've also tried to make
- it challenging for coop. play as well. First and foremost its a
- single player level, and therefore it's pretty big. (It takes me
- about 15 minutes to complete on UV.) You need to flick three
- switches spread around the map in the right order to pick up the
- blue key, which will enable you to get the red key which is right
- at the beginning (and end) of the level. If your having trouble
- finding the switches or working out the order, the automap will
- help. (Really!) There's a secret you have to find to get to the
- blue key, but it's pretty obvious.
-
- To make the level more enjoyable in deathmatch, most of it is
- unreachable in multiplayer games. It's just too big for a good dm
- otherwise. All the weapons are available, but if you don't like
- the BFG too much, play with monsters ON. This will also make it
- harder for somebody to end the level too early when no one else
- wants too. If there's too many mosters, just play on an easier
- difficulty setting but I definitely recommend monsters. You may
- find the level plays too slowly with monsters in multiplayer.
- It might be a good idea to play without monsters or on the easiest
- difficulty level if you have a 386 or 486-33 with < 8M.
-
- Finally (if you actually bothered to read this far), as the map is
- small in deathmatch, so it is in cooperative. But don't worry,
- there's an extra challenge at the exit which may require some
- teaming up to overcome. This is to compensate for the fact that
- the blue key is so easy to get. You have been warned.
