Title : First Offensive
Filename : foff.bsp
Author : Dirk Diggler (no, not my real name, go see BoogieNights)
Email Address : DD@elite.dircon.co.uk
Map description : My first finished attempt at a playable Quake2 Map.
Play Information : After the destruction of the big gun and the elimination of
their boss, the few remaining Strogg fled to a distant moon to
regroup and recover. Intelligence has tracked down the new
homeland and it is up to you to stop them before they can
mount a fresh attack. The base is still under construction,
and they are still in the process of terraforming the hostile
environment. Your tasks will be to:
1. Drain the underground water reserves.
2. Shut down the life support systems.
3. Turn off the atmosphere generator.
4. Escape....
Good Luck Soldier, yer gonna' need it!
How to play : Place foff.bsp in your Quake2/baseq2/maps
directory (make one if you dont have one).
Start Quake2, bring up the console (`)
and enter "map foff".
Other maps by me : Nothing anyones seen (or would want to)
Additional Credits : id Software for Quake2
Robert Duffy (and id again) for QERadiant
(the BEST map editor, bar none!)
"rust" for all the great tutorials
Misc. Comments: : This map isn't 100% finished as I would like it,
but I thought it was time to move on to a new project.
Should still be fun though, just remeber to save every
now and then :) I learnt a lot while makin this map,
and my next should be a whole lot better.
