* Other Info *
   These maps are the result of many hours work.  I would love to hear feedback
on whether or not you liked them and why.   If you review them please send me
some mail so I can check out what you had to say.  I tried to make some fun
professional looking maps that concentrated on the single player aspect of
quake2.  I hope you enjoy them.

* Story *
 Operation Saturation Point
  The Strogg have been developing a untraceable chemical solution that they
wish to put into earths water supply to poison its people.  The chemical's
development has been worked on in a secret installation inside a mountain for
some months now.  Our informants have told us that the chemical is nearing
completion and all the technical info about it is stored in a mainframe
in the lower section of the mountain base.  A small team of 3 marines was
sent in to investigate and were never heard from again.  They are presumed
dead.  Your job is to go in and find a way into the mountain base, then seek
out the lower lab level, shut down the main pumping system, and then destroy
the mainframe computer located there. Good luck.




*IMPORTANT*
  The bug that I was referring to above is very weird and has made me crazy
for days on end. It seems sometimes when you save your game on the third map
the sounds go crazy, meaning weird sounds appear at the wrong time.  I have
no idea what is causing this and it doesn't seem to happen every time.  If it
happens you will notice right in the beginning.  The only way around it I have
found is that if you use the default save game that q2 automatically makes, the
problem goes away.  I have tried my best to trace this down but numerous people
have told me it happened to them in the regular q2 levels so I decided to
release them anyway.  I am guessing it has something to do with a sound buffer
but I am not sure if it is my fault or not.  If you know what causes this
then feel free to email me so I can fix the problem.
