The Story
*********

You are a marine. You are tough. You are strong. You are pissed.
Enemies from a distant country have invaded. All your partners have been wounded or
killed. All you have left are your pistol, a few grenades, and your trusty, very 
powerful sledgehammer. Take care of the bastards in your hometown, then travel to 
their country and hit 'em where it hurts.
Good luck. Let the ground assault begin...

Stuff!!
*******
Slegehammer - big. heavy. made of metal. slow to swing over and over, but one or two hits
 	takes care of some of the enemies.
9mm Handgun - Your small yet useful weapon. holds clips of ten bullets.
Pump Action Shotgun - power in a shell. great for long distance attacks. holds up to 8
 	shells.
Machine Gun - rapid fire pistol that can kill a lotta people before it needs to reload. uses
 	30-bullet cartridges.
ChainGun - The big mama of the pistols. clears out a room of marines faster than you can say
 	"cha-cha-cha-chaingun"!! uses ammo strips of 100 bullets.
Hand Grenade - pull the pin and throw it. fun to watch enemies run right into it, but not so
 	fun when you're right next to them. uses one rocket.
Grenade Launcher - shoots a rocket-propelled grenade. just as strong as the grenades, but
 	quicker to reload. uses clips of 5.
Laser Blaster - a secret project the government has been hiding for years. kinda like the
 	aliens. shoots lasers at super-high speeds, destroying enemies faster than the
 	chaingun. once you get this, you'll be unbeatable.... until you run out of ammo.
 	uses cell orbs of 100 gigawatts.

Reload Feature
**************
this game, unlike many others (the only one Ive seen that does this is Navy Seals) actually 
makes you reload your weapons whenever you run out of ammo. It's not automatic... that 
doesn't seem too realistic. (then again, neither does a laser blaster....) I have an 
impulse that you must activate to reload a weapon. Impulse 20 will reload your current 
weapon. the only weapons that can be reloaded are the pistol, the shotgun, the machinegun, 
the chaingun, the grenade launcher, and the laser blaster. They all require you to have a 
certain amount of ammo. dont think its all free.

Gender Feature
**************
You can choose to be male or female in this game. Some sounds are screwed up sometimes, but
once you take pain you should be set. The models have not been implemented yet. use impulse
50 to change your gender.

Extra stuff
***********
If for some reason you feel weak and pathetic, and trust me it may happen even to the 
toughest of you, just use impulse 51. This will send you to Experience level 5, marine. you
can now shoot very fast on most weapons and I do believe your health can get to 500. Dont
try it in Deathmatch or coop though.

Final Notes
***********
All I can say is, I expect this to be a great deathmatch mod, if you aren't satisfied with
single play. I've tried deathmatch before, and this really adds some realism to it.
NOTE!! grenade launchers have been replaced by Double barreled shotguns. if u see a grenade
rotating, get it! it's one of the strongest guns in the game.
Also, keep your eye at the main site. You can find the REAL maps and the update there soon.

I know this isn't perfect, and no it is not "The number-one Conversion of the year" (I doubt
it would make the monthly drawing at that). The point is, I wanted to make something fun,
not something you would play once and get tired of it. Thanx for playing.
ALSO! Stay tuned at: HTTP://MEMBERS.TRIPOD.COM/~QUAKE_KID/GA-HOME.HTML for info on the
sequel to Ground Assault, The Portals of Time. Details already in the works:

-MOVIES BETWEEN EPISODES
-3 DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS, EACH EFFECTING YOUR WEAPONS
-MANY MANY MORE...
