You can play all of the levels sequentially or, if you only like a certain level, you can play that one alone. I've included support for various modes of play as follows: 1. Original Deathmatch rules ("I'm Too Young To Die" and "Hey, Not Too Rough" support this) 2. Deathmatch 2.0 rules ("Hurt Me Plenty" supports this) 3. What I call "Expert" mode ("Ultraviolent" supports this) Original Deathmatch and Deathmatch 2.0 are basically the same setup with minor variations in ammo/health placement. Expert mode has very little health and ammo, but DOES include almost every weapon per level (including the BFG). Use Expert mode if you play such an intense Deathmatch game that you don't stay alive very long (i.e. three- or four-player Deathmatch games over a LAN or MPGS). I've also included monster support - monsters are placed strategically to add spice to the game. Usually players don't need this in a three- or four-player game, but sometimes a two-person game can get a little slow. Either way you like it, BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE RESPAWN OPTION WHEN USING MONSTERS in your Deathmatches. Also note that most of the levels involve a cooperative exit. If an exit door doesn't open when you hit the switch, you may have to ask your friend(s) for help. Make SURE you're ready to leave when you hit an exit button. Please take a walk through these levels before you actually use them in Deathmatch. While each is extremely straightforward, it's always nice to get a feel for a new level before you begin. I'm open to any comments/ suggestions you may have, so please send me email! Finally, if anyone uses this pwad who plays over a LAN (with three or four people), please make an LMP file and send it to me! I've rarely had the chance to see more than two people in these levels, and would like to see the action. Thanks for using Igor!
