This is a cool deathtag-like map, it seems interesting to play. Really nice touch replacing the "Oof" sound with the splash. 3.5

* The Rules *

The Crusade:  The point of this wad is NOT to frag your opponents.  Rather,
	      it a special purpose wad with a whole other objective!

The Crusade is a *four* player wad in which the players are 
	      divided into two teams, Blue and Red.  Generally, green and 
	      indy are team BLUE, and red and brown are team RED.  The object 
	      of the game is to ring the bell situated at the end of the 
	      level.  The first team to do this wins.  To do this, a player 
	      and his/her teammate must do the following:
		
	      1. Score five points.  A point is scored by having one 
	      player hit a switch of their teams color, which temporarily
	      opens a door.  That players teamate should then enter that
	      door, and follow its path to a team, color-coordinated 
	      switch.  Hitting this switch once will give your team a 
	      point.  Team scores are shown by the height of columns of
	      your team's color. 
	      2. Attain the megasphere.  Once five points have been 
	      scored by a team, a megasphere will be available to get
	      ONCE by that team only.  This megasphere is vital to 
	      reaching the bell!  
	      3. Ring the bell!  The bell is situated beyond the blood falls
	      in a room of darkness.
	      
	      Note that once the megasphere is attained, five more points
	      must be scored by that team to get another.

* Misc Notes *

The Crusade has a few interesting features:

-New Sounds and Graphics. 
-Cycle Scoring.  A player can let his/her teammate into the point scoring
 area before he/she leaves! (you'll understand when you take a look)
-Reduced Camping.  In The Crusade, most key areas are open on all sides.
 This makes for reduced camping, more action, and interaction between all 
 four players at once.

I do plan on updating this wad in the future, to insure that it is as 
good as it can be.  E-mail me and tell me what you want to see in the
update!  Or, just drop me a message and let me know what you think.  
Serious contributions WILL be noted in wall textures featured in the 
update.  Please don't mail me revised copies of this wad, as I do 
not want various versions of it.

I hope that all of the Ultimate Deathtag lovers out there come to
realize that The Crusade is very much a different style game.  It is
in no way an attempt to replace u_dtag, it is simply a great 
alternative!  I thank Aikman and Talon for the introduction of this 
great new way to play!

WHAT? You say you have no way to play 4 player DOOM?  You need DWANGO!
