Description:	Begins where FREON2 left off, but with better levels, design, multi-mode support. A fun set of 4 deathmatch levels. All are fun, small, and best with 2 to 3 players. See below for individual descriptions... -> Level 6 is a copy of level 6 from FREON2, but I added an exit and made MINOR changes. You can now play FREON2 and 3 straigt through as a 9 level deathmatch fest. Also, the point of team deathmatch in level 6 is for the invading team to exit the level. Co-op makes for a good 2-on-2 game. DM for free for all.
Credits:	Tas II for beta testing earlier versions, and winning on a beta of level 8. BTW, Tas, it was 25-28, you. -Id- Software of course, for making a kick ass game that allows you to make levels, graphics, sounds, music, and dehacked... um.. oops! The makers if the following programs: DCK2.2 - to make the levels, DCK rocks! Fast, powerful, awesome. Wintex/Deutex - to put the TITLEPIC in. RMB2.1 - reject table. This aids co-op and single players speed by 10%-20%. Much better than Reject 1.1. Improces v4.2 - This is a great powerful image editor. Unfortunantely only saves GIF and PCX.
Base:	New levels, from scratch
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	DCK2.2 for levels, RMB2.1 for reject. Improces v4.2 to edit the titlepic. PSP 3.0 to mess up the titlepic's colors up so it looks like shit. Damn thing can't do filters in 8-bit. Even Improces does...
Bugs:	100% secrets on level 9 seems impossible even if you do go into all the secrets. Level 9 has been known to cause seizures in the weak of deathmatch. Level 7 has been known to kill BFG wusses over and over in the crusher. I love that!

********************* Descriptions for each level **********************

Levels 1-5:  FREON2.WAD You can play them both for a long deathmatch
	  game.  FREON2 includes level 6, but it had no exit, so I
	  added level 6 to FREON3, etc - read below.

Level 6:  A slightly redone version of level 6 from FREON2.  I added an 
	  exit and gave the invading team more ammo, and the defending
	  team less cells.  Heard it was too hard for the invading team
	  even on lower skill levels.  Difficulty determines how hard
	  it is for the invading team to overtake and exit the level.
	  Defending team has to stop them.  Skill also determines one 
	  player difficulty.  Monsters added, too.  Use co-op 4 player 
	  for team deathmatch, or try your own ideas.  Many minor 
	  changes, to speed it up and help the invading team.

Level 7:  A remake of the original level 7.  It's really cool.  Trust 
	  me.  Not suitable for one player or co-op.  It works, but 
	  there are no monsters.  Maybe play it co-op or one player to 
	  "gear up" for level 8.  Too bad level 8 becomes too easy 
	  when you get all the guns... :(  But hey, these levels are
	  made for deathmatch.  One player and co-op comes after.

Level 8:  A small level, that looks really awesome.  It's very small and 
	  enclosed, so hope you're not homophobic or whatever that word 
	  is.  Lots of skill is involved in this level.  You don't have
	  to worry much about guns, because there are plenty and you
	  get a free wuss shotgun.  Also a blast one player.  I'd say
	  too easy co-op.  
	  
Level 9:  My DANZIG wanna-be level.  Used the technique of wrapping 
	  textures A LOT to make rounded realistic walls.  Looks good,
	  plays great.  Difficulty settings affect gameplay. 
	  Use 1+2 for DM 1.0, use 3 for DM 2.0, and 4+5 to access the
	  big guns.  Also affects one player/co-op.  Skill 4+5 give you
	  a cool level 30 sorta battle.  On 4+5 co-op OR dm, you must
	  shoot the J. Romero head that's outside.

Time building           : I actually stop watched myself... yeah right.

			  20 on levels 8 and 9 EACH.

Known Bugs              : 100% secrets on level 9 seems impossible
			  even if you do go into all the secrets.
