* Story *

        WANTED IN FOUR SOLAR SYSTEMS.
         Held on multiple accounts of
          Murder.  Burglary.  Loitering.

        He is none other than Citizen Abel: the most efficient
         and economical hit-man in the galaxy.  He has grown quite
          the reputation in the business world through his sordid
           career.  It is a reputation that some would die for;
            whether they want to or not.

        But go back eight years.

        After all, Abel wasn't born a Citizen.

                         *       *       *

        A young and inexperienced marine groggily wakes
        up in his crew bunker aboard the USS Longhorn.  His
        scorched combat armor is still strapped on and his
        boots are caked with mud from last night's
        operation.  His suit nametag is tattered but
        readable: ABEL, PRIVATE FIRST CLASS.

        The melodious voice of the communications lady sings
        over the bunker intercom:

        "Rise and shine, recruits, and say hello to another
         glorious day in the UN Corporal Marines.  Dropships
         are jacked up and good to go.  Today is the big
         day, boys, so go hook 'em horns.  Approach with
         extreme prejudice and earn yourself an honest buck.

         Welcome to Day One of the Stroggos Campaign."

================================================================
* Gameplay Notes *

Do be sure to recognize friend from foe. You are part
of the UN Corporal Marines, so don't go around shooting
your buddies in the back.

I highly recommend you bind a key to the sniper zoom
function, compliments of Lazarus. A config file is
included.  At the console, just type:

  bind KEY +sniperzoom

Whereas KEY is the key you want (i.e. Z)

                          not really a bug, but the Marine Buddy
                          model job is a bit crude; I don't know
                          how to animate/make models too well

* Other Info *

This is my third single-player map.  My first map was
"Citizen Abel: The Self-Entitled Adventure" and my
second was "Bargain-Bin Savior: Citizen Abel 2."

This is my first map to have new sound effects and
graphics. Some of it was mine, either from scratch,
or edited pak0.pak stuff. Many sound effects were taken
from the shareware version of StarCraft (great game!),
and also much thanks goes to The Coven for open-source
releasing their add-on pack Deadlode II.  They have some
great work, and it was a pleasure to use their goodies.

Abel 3 will be my last map for Quake 2.  The storyline and
locales of these maps are made as a homage to q2.  I've
tried to make it parallel the single player portion of q2,
as a little tribute of sorts.

Applause goes to David Hyde and Mad Dog for Lazarus.  It
adds a ludicrous amount of new mapping features with a very
pleasant minimum of fuss. (http://lazarus.gamedesign.net)

Early on, my plan was to make all the maps require co-op
play.  It didn't quite pan out, but I think someone should
try doing it someday, perhaps coding in some sort of bot
support.

Gameplay varies from map to map.  Due to the advent of the
beginning school quarter, some maps had to be cut shorter than
what was planned on paper.

Thanks if you downloaded this map.  If you have any comments,
questions, or requests, e-mail me at blender81@hotmail.com
