Other Notes : I'm more commonly known as [F2C]Alvin online
and most well known for being the founder of
the worlds biggest Team Fortress Classic
League, the UKTFCL due to start its 3rd
season early 2000!
Also webmaster of the 'Half-life@Far2Cool'

back before Half-Life became game-of-the-year
with Dann... so I finally finished a level Dann!

================================================================
Designer's Notes
As mentioned above, the r_speeds can get high in some places.
I did all I could, in terms of cutting out architecture, to get
them down but there was only so much architecture I was ever
going to cut without the level ending up being just a few
boring interconnected rooms!
If it appears 'bitty' its probably because I've been working on the
raw .map file for over two years, yes 2! So some bits dont exactly
'fit' but I kept them in simply because of the hours it took to make
them and I'll be buggered if I'll take them out! The 'chessboard' room
was design way back after I released Monserat for quake... it was
going to be Monserat II!
Weapon placement is adequate, all the weapons are there though.
Far2Cool Deathmatch Arena should be a load of fun for 7 or more
players I think 20 would be the upper limit.
Thanks to Zoners Half-Life Tools, mostly his funky hlvis.exe tool
with the sky-clip feature! No swimming on my levels!
