================================================================



*This is my first Unreal map (and the first level editing I've done since a Doom2-era
Mac game called Marathon..UnrealEd is great).  I tried to keep the layout simple and
focus on gameplay, speed and lots of action - it's an arena level.  I tried to make use of portals in a way
that would enhance gameplay; not just to throw them in for the sake of using them.
I used pathnodes to help out the bots, but some things they just don't catch on to,
like the couple of doors that only open with weapons fire or the special trap switch.
It still makes for a great botmatch, but this level will be a lot more fun playing with
other people because of the strategies involved. If anyone out there (Epic) knows how to
get bots to learn ways of using level objects, please let me know and I'll get an update
out.  Oh, and have fun with the very special trap I put in this level.  Mmmmm gibs. ;)

Fog from the crypt was leaking into the level above and that was slowing
down FPS in that area.  Fixed.
