Description             : A three level unit for Quake2.  Use your
			  brains as well as your trigger finger through
			  these three massive levels.  To complete your mission,
			  you must find a way to disable the Strogg 
			  base reactor.
			  E-mail me and tell me what you think.

===========================================================================
To play this BSP file: 
Create a directory called 'MAPS' in your QUAKE2\BASEQ2 directory.  Unzip
the three BSP files into the MAPS directory. 
Load the first level using the 'map' command. 
E.g., QUAKE2\BASEQ2\MAPS\AVARICE.BSP would be loaded with the command 
'MAP AVARICE' from the Quake2 console prompt:
	Hit the tilde (~) key in Quake2 to enter console mode.
	Type: MAP AVARICE at the prompt.
	Hit the tilde (~) key again to exit console mode.
Alternatively you can launch the level directly from
the DOS prompt with:

   quake2 +map avarice

Notes: 

Warning:  You're going to need a "muscle" machine to play this unit.  A PII 266
or higher is recommended - there's are large rooms in each level that 
will really slow things down on a lesser machine.  I appologize for this, but to
do anything less would compromise the quality of the level.

This level was built primarily for single player.  Fortunately, those single
player levels translate pretty well for deathmatch.  You'll find all three 
levels optimized for deathmatch play.

All weapons are included in the single player game.  The BFG is only included
in AVARICE3 for deathmatch.  However, it's hidden in a secret area, so you'll 
have to find it to use it.
