Description : The levels of this deathmatch wad all have a
particular winter/christmas (no offense) theme. I
was actually inspired by an xmas wad by the
ByteBrothers that was released a long time ago. It only
had two levels, but it took place in a lovely village with
christmas decorations. Even the enemies were changed to presents,
reindeer, snowmen, etc. Well I have played that wad once a year
ever since then during christmas (i know i'm crazy).
I borrowed a few textures from that wad and now I have
constructed this deathmatch; I suppose to re-live that
earlier xmas wad.
Enough about inspiration and all that mushy stuff, let
me describe this wad. It is a deathmatch wad, nine levels,
winter themed. Each level is supposed to be unique to the
wad pack. In other words, I tried my hardest to make all of
the levels vastly different from one another. A variety so to
speak, but each with some element of winter init, whether it be
snow on the ground, snowing, christmas decor, etc. The style that
the players will battle it out in the levels also varies, with some
levels being more suited for say 4 players, while others are suited
for large brawls. Of course I kept a consistency overall...but before
I blab on (ha!) let me break it down to a "brief" summary of
each level:
Map01 - "The Snow Fortress"
Suggested Players - 4
Fully aware that the name of this level is horrible, however
its structured around the main arena in the center with
paths enclosing it. The area next to the BFG can actually
become a secondary arena depending on the players'
BFG desire and knowledge of the map.
Map02 - "Outpost"
Suggested Players - 2,3,4
A small and basic arena that meshes with a cave. The small
arena is w
