Author:	Peter Captijn
Description:	Being totally fed up with existing DEATHMATCH levels, I made a level which can be played frantic or with stealth. Main feature is having to choose your heavy weapon before entering the main gaming area. You'll always have the shotgun and the chain- gun, and you can choose between a rocketlauncher, a plasmarifle or a BFG. When you run out of health or ammo, you can (try) to get the berserker box in the middle. (The punch will kill instantly.) Use DOOM 1.666 with -altdeath. This level is tweaked for speed. If you can speed it up even more, I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HEAR IT!
Credits:
Base:	New level from scratch.
Build time:	Months tweaking.
Editor(s) used:	I've tried about everything, and finaly decided for gnuDEU, BSP and DSHRINK. I would have preferred IDBSP, but it kept crashing on my almost complete level.
Bugs:	PLEASE. (If you consider NO EXIT a bug, alright, one.)
