- MAV2C - A Deathmatch WAD (BETA TEST) by Tom Neff
- ================================================
- Version of August 3, 1994 (E1M1 only)
-
- Please review this WIDE BETA TEST version and email your
- comments to: tneff@panix.com
-
- --------
-
- This is the first level of what will be a two or three level mini
- episode based on ideas developed in MAVERICK.WAD, which everyone said
- was beautiful but too big and ammo-poor for two players. Instead of
- putting all the neat ideas into one big level, I am breaking them up by
- episode. E1M1 is the Arena, with some surrounding corridors and a
- central hide&seek a little like the one in E1M4 which seems popular.
-
- It should be usable under 1.2 through 1.5, any deathmatch rules,
- although the flow of play will be slightly different as usual. Actually
- there are a couple of HOM (Hall Of Mirrors) glitches caused by complex
- rooms that show up under 1.2, but just ignore them until registered 1.6
- is released.
-
- The exit switch is in the Northeast, you press the Satyr switch (SW) on
- the Roundhouse to get to it. Pardon my cacodemon. :-)
-
- There are chainguns, shotguns, rockets, a plasma gun (hidden) and a
- chainsaw (hidden). The roundhouse has a blur sphere. On -altdeath you
- could reuse it...
-
- A few monsters to soften you up, or you can play without them.
-
- There is no nukage or crushers, but you can rocket yourself to death if
- you insist. I will probably segregate weapons by difficulty level in
- the final product, but for now they're all in there.
-
- There are a few "breaks" for people who get hunted by stronger players.
- But whoever knows the layout best will probably triumph...
-
- Versions B and C add new stuff per playtesting, especially AlanW.
- There is a big pit with balconies, an "arena" with galleries, more
- twisty places to misuse your rocket, and a bigger roundhouse with
- space to hide out in.

-
- If you make a really cool LMP of this level I would like to see it!
- Let me know via email.
