Description:	"Out of Phase 3" is an action packed map for Doom II. Like the other levels in my "Out of Phase" series, this one was made very quickly, during a burst of inspiration! I probably spent 10-12 hours max, on it. And like "Out of Phase" this is a small map. This time, the look is more like classic Doom II mixed with my own style of course. It's actually got a good level of detail too, surprisingly. I'm pretty proud of this little level :) Enjoy!
Credits:	* My brother Varun for playtesting and useful feedback, and also for making the sky used in this level. This sky also appears in Varun's map, "Short 'n Quick". * Tobias M�nch - the sky used in this level is actually a heavily modified photograph of his!

Good looking indoors, so-so looking outdoors. Gameplay is definantly there all the way through.	x
Short and OK. 3/5.	x
Court tableau amusant	x
This is dated September 2002. It's a fun map from the man - the machine - who went on to do Congestion Control. You fight just 32 baddies in a compact watery techbase that feels larger than it is, because the design is very intricate. The gameplay is spoiled a bit by the plasma rifle, which makes it easy; the baddies are mostly toughies but you get loads of ammo. In that respect it's like an antidote to Malcolm Sailor's levels. Good though.	x
