Description

	This is a Weapon Mod for ZDoom 2.0 96x with extra weapon
support. Only this version of ZDoom should run this wad.
	I worked a lot on this wad, trying to make it the best
mod I did for ZDoom. There are a lot of interesting weapons with
special effects, a lot of cool inventory items and a very good
sound design. However, I'm not a good graphic designer, so don't
expect completely redesigned weapons. All I did is to keep using
the always pretty graphics from the professional weapon modders.
Apart from it, that's a great mod, with the best of my work.
	This mod brings a new cool gameplay to the Doom. Play it
with your favorite Map Mod and you'll have a lot of fun. You can
also play very hard maps with this weapon mod, the gameplay will
be very acessible. Note that the weaker enemies have alternative
versions, with new weapons and different attacks.
	Now, there is a list of the weaponry from this file, and
also the items available here. The original ones from Doom won't
be listed.
