*NOTES*

   Ok then! this is small gray and fast, this is a conversion of one of my UT maps and I think
    it actually plays better in Q2. Point of fact/opinon I think anything plays btter in Q2.

   The case is made in this map that great textures can make an ok map better (opinion Maric)
    WOW !! the Dawn of Darkness TC is great and the textures are amazing go get it at :
    http://www.dawnofdarkness.com/index2.html
    that is where all but a few of the textures came from (used with permission btw)
    Thanx go to Vaxuser. 
    
    

 OH YEAH please let me know what you think good or bad, i'm not overly 
  sensitive either just go easy with the harsh language, remember we live in a "society".
