Summary of the level
====================
This is the last map in my ish series, promise! all maps after this are going to be,
um, "original" and stuff.

The map has same items and almost the same connectivity as e1m2, except it is
"optimised" a bit, i.e. many routes are shorter, smaller areas and easier to
navigate (with the exception of the central "below quad" area which is made
bigger). Also the start & end areas are smaller and connected together. The
teleport at HH has been replaced by a push_trigger. All textures, architecture,
and of course lighting are completely different from the original.

The map plays smoothly, and should just be compact enough for a duel, but I feel
the map plays at its best when its packed, i.e. a 4 to 8 FFA or a 2on2/3on3/4on4.
This maps is most fun if you allow yourself to fight a lot with SSG & SNG and not
rely on the RL as much, i.e. take out other people fighting, and go on mad quad-SNG
rampages.

r_speeds are very low, below 450 everywhere, and in most areas its 100 to 300.

Thanks to my testers, which include: Brick, Zor, Frib, Peej, Rush, Notorious Ray,
Hydro, Pingu, Paul, DaMaul, Borsato and whoever I forgot. It is also their fault
that the texture "scheme" is so messy, because everyone suggested different
changes to "fix it" :P
