Feedback (comments, ect): Please send, it helps us to advance in future
                          and implement things that most of community does 
                          want. 

Description             :  New single player level for Quake2, based on same
                          Duke3D-ish City theme as my previous map Action City for
                          Quake2 Multiplayer Mod Action Quake (action.telefragged.com).
                           Well, this is more than just a new level only,
                          included are about 90 new textures, couple new
                          enemies, new weapon, many new breakable ambient
                          models to make more interactive and realistic
                          environment, and of course, modified game DLL.

Misc. Stuff             : I've replaced old Blaster with new weapon,
                          HK Mark-23 .45ACP Pistol, because it is much
                          more practical. It has more firepower, but
                          is bit inaccurate especially in long distances
                          and needs reloading once each 12 rounds of a clip
                          are used. You dont have infinite ammo, so if you 
                          dont have ammo for ANY of weapons you have, you'll
                          become disarmed until you find some. I've also
                          increased firepower and health of your enemies so
                          you'll need to use even some strategy.

                          I'm probably going to make sequel for this addon
                          to SiN once it comes out, so this map is bit like
			  an introduction for it. Check out my web site
                          for always newest information about my plans.

                          This map might run slowly if you don't have P233
                          or better hardware with 3D Accelerator Card.
                          Always gib dead bodies whenever possible,
                          it will decrease entity polycount obviosly.

Installing/Running	: 1) Make subdirectory called CSP under your Quake2
			     dir and unzip all contents of this archive to there.
			  2) Use QUAKE2 +SET GAME CSP +MAP CSP commandline to 
			     start the game. You may also use +SKILL variable
			     to specify skill level (0-2).

* The Story *            

    The year is 2010. You take the role as one of the elite Cops in
    counter-Terrorist Police Force called Sec-Cops. They do perform
    mainly Terrorist Eliminating and Hostage Recovery operations.
    Crossor Enterprises, one of the biggest Medical Research
    corporations in US, appears to cause serious problems, because most
    of their policies doesnt seem to be legal. And we've heard about
    conspiracy between them and the Aliens from outer space. Unfortunately,
    our informants that fetched us that information have mystically
    disappeared and we haven't get very well aware of their full plans.

    In one day, those horrible bio-mechanical Aliens, Stroggs, attacked.
    They killed or captured ruthlessly everything they ever found. Their
    crafts shelled our great cities. Their terror pushed our civilization
    into chaotic state. So many of us died. We don't have any clues how
    conspirators done this. But one thing is sure - we need to end this! 

    And soon all remaining armed Militaristic Forces, including Sec-Cops,
    teamed up and started ultimate counterstrike against Stroggs.
    Strogg's heavy domination fallen. A lots of their troops died.
    However, they and conspirators do still have control over the most
    fortified regions, including priorly overpopulated great city of Mancis. 
    Crossor, the leader of Crossor Enterprises, and most of other
    conspirators have been located in there. It's your job to pay back
    those bastards all the pain and death they caused.
    Once you'll find them, they'll be in shit!
