*notes 
      I wanted to try and get the beautifully-ugly look that weathered, rusted and decayed concrete and
       steel have. I also wanted to throw in some mixed colored lighting. I tend to stay away from too 
       many colors in one map but  what the heck. This is my second choice for layout and was needed
       due to some very high r_speeds, the area near the MH has changed a bit and I was able to cut the r's
       by half =) The name "Weathered" was somewhat inspired by listening to the lates "Creed" disc by the same name.
       I was working on this map trying to think up a name and then low and behold I purchased the new CD and the rest 
       is history...
      It is ugly in a way but I hope someone likes it, the weapons, as has been my habit of late are "over the top"
        and that is just the way we like things on "Backshooters". There are 2 Railguns, 2 Rocket launchers, 2 Chainguns
        and a smattereing of the rest. The weapons favor the "Awakening" mod and that is just what I play most of the
        time nowadays anyway. We play at 207.114.0.70:27918 You will need that mod files and we do have local copies
        here;http://quake2.abs.net/pub/mods/q2/  Drop in and give it a try.  
        Our other servers are at 207.114.0.70:various and sundry ports... Go here--->
