- Title : THETA-4.WAD

-
- Description:
-
- Due to the imposing evil forces that presently inhabit the Earth, the United
- Federation of Space Marines (UFSM) have set up an isolated training ground
- hidden away in mountains of Tibet. What was once a peaceful shrine dedicated
- to meditation of Tibetan monks, THETA-4 (Territorial Human-to-Human Earth
- Training Area) has been converted into a highly active centre for the
- training of Marine recruits.
-
- The THETA series training grounds specializes in battles that are strictly
- marine vs. marine, since it has been shown in the past that there have been
- a number of cases where platoons have been completely wiped out by one of
- their own "former" marines, due to possession. Like all the other THETA's,
- marines will fight each other, not other monsters (there are none).
-
- Scenario 1:
-
- Even the Tibetan Shrines, tucked away high atop the tallest mountains in the
- world, could not escape the evil that was unleashed upon Earth. Before the
- shrine could be used as a training area, it had to first become secured
- and free from all Evil. Your goal is to secure the area, either alone or
- with a team. You will be dropped in through the central roof, behind the
- backs of the enemy. Other weapons have been air-dropped around the level for
- your benefit, and it is rumoured that Tibetan guerillas, during the revol-
- ution several years ago, once kept a small stash of weaponry hidden in each
- shrine, including this one. Good luck!
-
- Scenario 2:
-
- In the five days following the securing of the shrine, THETA-4 was prepared
- for training, with all toxins, carcasses and other forms of evil removed.
- Your goal is simple - eliminate all other opponents. You have every weapon
- at your disposal, yet to get to each one may not be easy. You also have the
- choice to play with the shrine containing only weapons (ie only those items
- which will not disappear) or with the place littered with every kind of item
- and weapon imaginable. To exit the level you must cooperate.

- PLEASE NOTE:
- ============
-
- - Here's a breakdown of what's included for each skill level:
-
- Skill Scenario Comments
- =======================================================================
- 1 2 No items that disappear, only weapons (recommended)
- 2 2 (same as above)
- 3 2 Weapons and LOTS of items
- 4 1 Monsters, weapons and some items
- 5 1 (same as above)
-
- - For single player games, the exit button is between two BLUE
- torches. This exit is unreachable during multiplayer games.
-
- - For multiplayer games, the exit button is between two RED
- torches. 2 players must cooperate in order to get to the exit.
-
- - This level was designed to be a Deathmatch level - there are no
- toxic areas where the opponent can kill himself.
-
- - The level is riddled with ambushes and snipers spots. For example,
- the stairs leading from the doors at the beginning have a little
- nook near them. The trick is to open the door, and hide in the nook.
- The opponent will notice (or hear) the door opening, then proceed
- in that direction, up the stairs, right past you. This will give
- you a perfect shot in the back.
-
- - It is possible to get ALL the weapons without cheating. Actually,
- I kind of give it away in the demo, so look there if you're unsure.
