Description			: After much off/on editing, this level is done!
				  It's basically, a sniper-type level, meaning
                                  it does have an outdoor area (and I've
                                  checked it for speed and the counts are below
                                  Id's base1.bsp's outdoor area.  (and actually
                                  gives any beginner level editors and idea of
                                  about how big you can make an open area)

                                  However, while it does have some good sniper
                                  areas, it's also designed to keep people from
                                  sitting in a single area.  The BFG is rather
                                  nice for clearing out the sniper towers.  Of
                                  course, you have to expose yourself to become
                                  a sniper target to get the BFG!

                                  Originally this was designed as a DM map, but
                                  I've also added SP mode play with monsters, 
                                  skill level settings, and goals.  I think it
                                  plays pretty well in both modes.  However,
                                  it's not as detailed as a 'true' single player
                                  map, but this is done to keep the poly count 
                                  low.  So, don't be judging it against, say
                                  RiscChip's "What the End is For"
                                  (which btw, is an EXCELLENT single player level)
