Deathmatch



The level has been fully enhanced for Deathmatch play and

tested using two human players and four Reaper bots. There

are architectural changes in multiplayer mode to allow easy

navigation around the level and there are no areas that

Reapers "prefer" such as large bodies of water.



The weapon layout is roughly the same as in Single Play,

although there are extra power-ups, armour, and megahealths.

There are also several bonus items that can only be

reached by rocket jumping.



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



Installation



To play this level, extract the file "epoch.bsp" into

your Quake/ID1/Maps directory and then start the game.

Choose which skill setting you wish to play on by typing

"SKILL <0-3>" (0 for easy, 1 for normal, 2 for hard,

3 for nightmare) and then type "MAP EPOCH" to begin.



It is recommended that you play on "nightmare" mode.
