======================================
This file best viewed when fully maximized and 1024x768 resolution.

GENERAL INFO:
Name: Massaker
Version: 1.0
File Name: massaker.zip
Map Type: HL Deathmatch
Players: 4-12
Notes:  This map seems to have no purpose.  Most maps have a theme that they follow.  Not 'massaker'.  It is just a thought that popped into my head one day.  Despite this, I think (please forgive my immodesty) it came out very well and in my playtests I never really got bored of it.  The r_speeds went over the 800 mark in two or three places (not much over), but overall they stayed around three to six hundred.  In the main battle place they lowered to 300 or less so I don't think you should have a problem in this age of broadband internet and high speed computers.  In fact, it would probably run fine on a dial-up service.  However, the file size is pretty large (1.6mb) because of complex lighting in some places so ingame downloads are pretty much impossible. Sorry :\  There are a few places that one could camp in this map, but I have ensured that it is possible to quickly and easily root out these campers.  Also, there may seem to be a lot of excess ammo.  But if you play with the recommended amount of players, you won't be able to hoard much because you just don't last very long in this map, dunno why.  Its probably because of the big red button. :)
