Not to mention a great game! Description of Level 1 : A square layout, with high corners and 4 side rooms. You will love this level if you like specters and invulnerability. When playing deathmatch, watch out for players who like to stakeout. Its appearance ranks a 6. Try starting with just the pistol and see how far you can get. On Ultraviolence, it ranks a 4 for hardness. A fun level for 1-player or co-op, lots of fun for deathmatch. Description of Level 2 : A 3-tiered level with many criss-crossing hallways. Plenty of running and everyone keeps falling into the center room. Can you get the Megasphere? Its appearance ranks a 7. Try starting with just the pistol and see how far you can get. On Ultraviolence, it ranks a 5 for hardness. I can do it with 3 100%'s and 200%-200% health and armor in about 15 minutes. A fun level for 1-player or co-op, lots of fun for deathmatch. Description of Level 3 : A long walkway with weapons on ledges at the ends. Once you walk off the ledge, you can't go back or hide. A simple level with the most effective, frag filled deathmatch action I've ever seen. It's easy to rack up 400 frags in an hour. And expect lots of negative frags - once you fall off the walkway, you're a gonner - but don't worry, everyone's falling off. This level is guaranteed to teach you how to use and dodge the BFG. Its appearance ranks a 3, but it's one of the best deathmatch levels I've ever played. Unfortunately, this level is not a playable one player level - you just get to look, and then hit the end switch. An interesting level for co-op, one of the best deathmatch levels of all time!!! Description of Level 4 : A small square room with lava in the center. You get to use the Chaingun and BFG, which do you think is better? You'll be surprised! Its appearance ranks a 5. This is a playable 1-player level, but it's very short and simple. Can you find the exit? A short level for 1-player or co-op, lots of fun for deathmatch. Instructions : Put STVDM.WAD in your DOOM 2 directory, type "doom2 -file stvdm.wad -warp 1 -skill <#>" Yes, it really is that easy! If you want to go straight to the Labrynth, Fragathon, or Volcano, type "-warp 2", "-warp 3", or "warp 4" respectively instead of "warp 1".
