Because of the huge success of BATTERY I figured that people just might start downloadin the wads that I make so why not make a fat compilation of DEATHMATCH levels. There are certain things that I hate about many deathmatch levels and that is that there way too much ammo and energy. I think the fun comes in fraggin people and not chasing them down while they get megasphere's and BFG's. So I try to put the perfect amount of ammo in the game with enough energy to survive a few hits. Another thing you might notice is that there is ALWAYS an invournable ball in the exit. I started doin this because it was the easiest place to put it and everyone kinda just figuered to see one there. So in the last few levels I decided to get a little tricky when hiding them. If you dont see one in there then you are not looking hard enough. Also the 7th level in this package is kinda a bonuus level I guess. It was not designed for deathmatch but for co-op. So if your bored and nobody will play you give this a try. It is a very challengin level for even the most experienced doomer. Well below is a brief explination of each level. Enjoy the fraggin. 1. MORBID: This level is a wide open level that will test the skill of your aim as well as your runnin and shootin skills. This wad was one of my favorite wads when I was testin it with joyride. MUSIC: Seek n' Destroy 2. BATTERY: This is the wad that was my biggest success. I decided that I had to include this one just in case all the others suck. I feel that it is the best because of the way that the whole level surrounds the soulsphere perfectly and it is both an open and closed wad that requires skill in all areas. MUSIC: Battery 3. ONE When making this level I was only concerned with trying to make a very evil looking level. I wasnt worried about how it would play to later. When playin it finally I noticed that it was hella fun. So I decided to go ahead and include it in here. MUSIC: ONE 4. CHAOS This was originally the first level in the DIVINE wad that I modified for deathmatch. I was actually just looking for an easy way to get a level out and when playin DIVINE I found out that this was about the only level that could be turned into a deathmatch level, so I went ahead and did it. MUSIC: Sanatarium 5. NIGHTMARE This level is just a nightmare. I got sorta an idea of a blinking light around the outside from a strobe light. heh I wanted to make it a pain on your eyes as well as on your fraggin skills. Most of the killin will probably take place in the center arena so you will need good aiming skills to get a lot of frags in this one. MUSIC: Fade to Black 6. INSANE This was my last wad made for this compilation so it is my most recent wad and maybe my best. It is the smallest wad by a byte standard but it plays almost the biggest because of the way i designed it. Also if you can figure out how to get the invournable ball without using turbo then you rule. It will not be easy, you must use your imagination :) MUSIC: Blitzkrieg 7. BONUS This is a very old level that I just never got done. I just wanted to get it off my hard drive so I figured why not just throw it in here for fun. It is actually very fun for 1-player games and co-op. And it is hella hard also. Try and see if you can finish it. MUSIC: The Call of Ktulu I hope that you enjoy these wads as much as I do heh. It took a lot of time and downloadin to make these so you better at least try it. By the way. If someone has the old versions of BATTERY or ONE and want to play you using that wad it will not work. I have made slight modifications between the originals and the ones in this wad. So just tell them to go download this dam thing. Yea Yea GUMBY
