  This is an interesting map in that you can easily dominate whether you
use the Super Shotgun or the Railgun. As a matter of fact, you stand a
better chance of dominating using low powered weapons (e.g. SG, SSG, MG,
GL). I left out the Hyperblaster and BFG10K for obvious reasons.

  For an extra kick in the pants, enable shadows. The effect is amazing!
I got into one firefight that looked so real I damn near fell outta my 
chair. Luv those shadows...
