Now that I'm done with the crap...

Thank you for letting Rage DM in your hard drive. In exactly 10 seconds this
file will make a virus that will destroy your computer. The only way to stop it is to
keep reading.

Rage DM is a set of five levels (I think). each level is made with 2 player
fragfests that aren't too tedious (ala overload, no offense), but are still fast paced.
Just think of it in a way as you always know were your opponent is, but he can always
get away.

The levels are very detailed, but they aren't 10000 linedefs in size so the gameplay
shouldn't suffer. the levels go into style with a metal-tech theme. Gotchic has been
so over-used in Doom it just makes me sick. The levels look good, but there aren't
enough techno deathmatch levels out there. Everyone should be bowing to the 
Parallel Team (www.doomworld.com/parallel) and there awesome looking Fragfest
Initialized deathmatch series. Guys, if I see one more gothic themed mega-wad deathmatch
set, I think I will puke (actually not, but you get the point).

This series WAS going to be a mega-wad like Gothic DM or Surge, but I thought to myself 
that when I usually get a deathmatch mega-wad, I take a quick glance, and actually
play a total of 5 of the levels, and play 2 or 3 of them often, so I figured I may as well 
make five or so levels and stick more to gameplay. All of these levels should be extremely
playable and fun to frag in. I did not rush ANY of these levels whatsoever...

Anyway here is a description of each level:

Level 1: The Beneath: This level has a highly lit center surrounded by lava with two sets
of stairs that go to a ledge on the sides. this level isn't anywere nearly as detailed
as the other levels, but probably one of the most fun. Make sure you use the pillars
to cover yourself and not to shoot yourself, and make sure not to jump in the lava by accident.

Level 2: Cardiac Arrest: Probably the most intense and fast paced of the series. The level is 
brightly lit with a center area with two stairs that extend to upper ledges. This level isn't 
anything like level 1. The level is much more intense, but you can still run away when you 
need to. You'll encounter some good plasma fights here...

Level 3: Cargo Train: This level is pretty much one big hallway that forms a square and
has a beautiful scenery of a train with cargo that you could only wish to get to. Yeah that's
right. There is absolutley NO WAY you can get out in the cargo field WHATSOEVER. none...none at 
all...OKAY I'm rambling...anyway, this level is pretty intense as well, since there is no health
or armor around, but it can be quite hard to hit your opponent at times...

Level 4: The Abandoned Factory: Probably the most detailed of the level series, and the biggest as 
well. This level consists of a subway, a cargo storage area, and a nice little conveyor belt that
carries the crates across the level (okay I lied). This level at times can be both intense and
a manhunt, depending on what weapons you would like to use...If you want that BFG, make sure there
isn't someone else that wants to steal your ride up the lift...

Level 5: Chemical Plant: This level is probably going to be the most played of them all (If anyone
plays it=). it has a BIG open area with two HUGE pipes that holds lava and some goodies, from the 
bottom HUGE area you can gain access to the hallways that have insta-lifts (tm) that can take you 
to the goodies in the pipes. There isn't too much strategy in this level movement-wise. this ones
all skillz with your guns!P

Level 6: Overkill: Oh this is the COOLEST most intense most insane level EVER made...Oh wait that's 
right there's only 5 levels in this series...sorry to get you guys hyped=/

Level 7: Eternity: Damnit I'm such a retard...there are only FIVE levels in this series and I'm 
done explaining now so you can stop reading....I said...STOP READING.


























I TOLD YOU TO STOP READING...DONT MAKE ME SWEAR...







































FUCK OFF YOU STUPID BITCH!!! GET THE FUCK OFF!!!!!!!
