Hello,



I have posted three Quake levels for immediate download from my web


page. You can visit the homepage, which contains information about


Tremor, a collection of over new 200 levels, at


http://www.netos.com/tremor



Download all three levels now from


ftp://ftp.wolfenet.com/pub/sbs/tremor/



You can find information about the other two levels, Jail Break and


Rumble City, on the homepage.



Here is the information about Battle Call.



================================================================


Title : Richter - Battle Call


Filename : Richter.bsp


Author : Jack Vermeulen (Sensor Based Systems, Inc.)


Email Address : sbs@wolfenet.com


WWW Address : http://www.netos.com/tremor



Description : Never a dull moment.


Lots of action, lots of enemies!


Suggested for single player or deathmatch.



Hear anything shaking yet? You will.


Richter is a well designed classic


level that lives up to its


reputation. Unlike many Quake levels,


this level contains plenty of outdoor


areas. Don't think this


level will be a cakewalk though!


Be ready for some


tough fights. You'd be wise to take


your time, unless you don't mind being


shot dead.



One of 3 sample levels on the TREMOR CD:


200 NEW, never before seen levels.


TREMOR also has over 400 more levels,


maps, mods and utilities.
