Ladies and gentlemen,
It is my extreme pleasure to announce to you that, this
day, Wilbur's Map 1 has been released for public consumption.
A labour of like, this piece of architectural nicety is the
ideal deathmatch level for those "4 - 11 player get your buddies
around for death" affairs.
Consisting of over 1000 luxurious brushes and 200 entities, it
contains plenty of trickery and trapery. In addition it has 10
deathmatch starts and the only regeneration chamber I've ever seen.
As well as a crusher, slime, a moving platform, lift and funky doors
plus a whole lot more.
Try it for yourself and never play deathmatch on any other level.
Or do, it's up to you! But rest assured... Fun will be yours as you
enter Wilburs Map 1.
Available shortly at FTP.CDROM.COM under the /pub/quake/newstuff
directory. After that its anyones guess, but I expect it to eventually
reside in /pub/quake/levels/deathmatch/v-z/wilburm1.zip
While you wait... here is the level description for your perusal
================================================================
