Description             : My first Quake II level.  Its a kind of base style 

                          level like those in the first unit, but it still

                          somewhat original.

STORY:

		After the defeat of Stroggos in the First Earth-Strogg war, the asteriod belt

was the last fortress, the last retreat for the surviving strogg.  Here they are

at least able to from some sort of resistance, although any strike against earth is now 

thankfully impossible.  The government of the Coalition of Man has decided to strip mine the

mineral rich asteriods, but the strogg must be eradicated first before they can proceed.



	You and your small platoon of 3 were ordered to infiltrate and shut down the 

Electromagnetic Generator on Asteriod A-342-44F2, containing a facility known only as Borax II.  

Shutting this down will allow air strikes.  The generator must be shut down to shut down any 

small scale force fields that may be created using this field.  You were also ordered to 

capture the Air Strike marker as it could be used by the strogg to controll the Coalition's

missiles.  By using the Air Strike marker and computer equipment, 

the strogg may be able to re-direct the missiles.  



	You bring the Viper to a rough landing after a Dog fight with Strogg planes above the

asteriod.  Bullets had penetraded the glass killing Wills and O'Brien, injuring Falkenberg and

leaving you the only one able to fight.  You only have a Blaster, Flakenberg has a shotgun,

but he is now insane.  



	You are on your own, the decision is yours.  You decide to go it alone, and to get

the shotgun off him by any means possible......



           * Play Information *



Single Player           : Yes

Cooperative             : Yes, Quite a few starts

Deathmatch              : Yes, Quite a few starts, but I

                          didn't design it with deathmatch in mind.  If

                          you are looking for a good big deathmatch level,

                          this probably isn't it, but I may be wrong!

Difficulty Settings     : Yes.  Easy isn't too easy though.

New Sounds              : No

New Graphics            : No

New Music               : No

Demos Replaced          : None

* Additional Information *



Have fun plating, ammo is somewhat tight and you may run out if you are careless.

Don't worry, there is enough, just not load of ammo and grenades.  Personally, I don't like

balanced weapons.  Having 50 grenades and rockets kinda sucks.  I like Doom's style, where

rockets were sparse, but powerful.  You only get 5 grenades in the level!  Use them wisely.



I don't have a 3D card (this makes QERadiant difficult to use, but I can still use it), so 

I don't really know what the coloured lighting is like.  I kept it to a minimum so as not to 

get ugly colour combo's.  It should look O.K. though, but there is less coloured ligting than

usual.
