Anonymous	I liked it - COOL - but there are almost 200 unkillable monsters in a deathmatch-only area, and two monsters at the bottom of unescapable death pits (you can kill the caco, but the archvile is a real pain).	x
Anonymous	The readme mentions a pair of demos, but none are included in the zipfile. This is a modified version of id=383, which was terrible. This has five times as many monsters, the textures have been fixed, and the straferunning problem has been more-or-less solved (you can still make the jump, but it doesn't help you much). The changes make the level much better, although still not great. In particular the catwalks - the level is based around them - are irritating.	x

* Comments *

This wad is a blast in a healthy deathmatch game.  It has some
really good spots to ambush and get a birds-eye view of the
surrounding areas.  The critters have been strategically placed
so you may have a rough time if you just try to charge through
the level in solo mode.

DO NOT hit all the switches if you materialize in the switch room
in a deathmatch game.  This will slow down the game greatly.  You
will know the switch room when you get there.  The purpose of the
switch room is for people who play with monsters in deathmatch and
when the game gets a little boring, you can hit one switch when
to spice up the game.  Each switch will materialize critters from
the back room into various points in the level.

When you hit a switch, there is a hidden door in the switch room
to go to a lookout window and see the critters coming out.

There is a BFG in the level at certain skills.  If you hit the
switch in the exit room, a door opens up to the BFG.  After you
hit the exit room switch (not the exit switch), you can hit the
transporter pad in the exit room and get directly to the BFG.  You
can only do this TWICE.  After that, you will have to figure out
how to get the BFG.

* Hints *

Solo Play Hint: pick off the guys on the pedestals from the
ground.

Deathmatch Hint #1: The exit room transporter can be good or
bad.  Hit the right switch and you will be glad.

Deathmatch Hint #2: Dark floors mean nearby horrors.

Deathmatch Hint #3: Lots of switches mean nasty sons-of-bitches.
Hit them all and you will fall.
