Title : Columns Filename : COLUMNS.WAD Author : Tom Kozera Email Address : None Misc. Author Info : I play at the DWANGO server and I like to look and study wads to see what makes them great and fun. I decided to make a wad myself and got oppionons for many people. Everybody said it's AWESONE, or a PERFECT combo of everything for a great frag fest. I guess my studying of other wads payed off, if only every wad builder would just take some time to look at other great wads then we wouldn't see the shit that most wads are. Description : It's a small wad, after playing countless (Read it!) hours at DWANGO I realized that a small wad is the most fun of all because you don't have to look too hard for a frag. The wad is dark but not too dark, I like it dark because it sets that killing mood. The wad is spacy but there are columns that you can duck behind. The starting points are hidden behind an invisible wall and raised so that you don't get fragged right after reappearing (I always hated that). You also receive the Super Shotgun right when you respawn so you don't get caught with a pistol against a guy with a Rocket Launcher. The Chaingun and Super Shotgun are readily available laying on the level. There are two elevators that contain high powered weapons, it takes 4 seconds for them get down and the wait could get you killed. There are also two other secrets that hold goodies and are risky to enter because you could get blown away. I feel that you have to work to get goodies. The ammo is spread out evenly on the level so that you have to hunt for it, there is enough ammo for a ultra fast 4 player game. The difficulty settings also determine the weapons available on the level, I put this in to suit everybody's tastes. Finally keep in mind the extensive detail in the level, the support columns, the texutres, the lighting and the positioning of the items because I put in a shitload of time to tweek everything perfect.
