* Other information *
This is my first map, it was made basically as an experiment to learn qe4, which I have to say is
an incredibly powerful editor and easy to use. I'm basing my response to this level whether I have
a talent and should continue making levels. I know this level isn't exactly the best looking, but its
built with gameplay in mind, I love q2's DM and I needed a small map for our LAN games, and this is it.
Hopefully this is number one in a series of small, fast and fun DM levels.
