   The race known simply as the "aliens" have been around for hundreds of years. 
Stories of these killing machines terrorizing the outskirts of the galaxy have 
become legendary.  You know these creatures first hand.  As a child your family 
was slaughtered aboard a deep space exploration vessel by an alien that was a 
stowaway. You were the only one of seventeen people that survived.  Your parents 
jettisoned you out an escape pod moments before you witnessed their horrifying death.
   Your life has since been one of little purpose.  Entering the Tournament 
was just the logical evolution of your existence.  You kill with no remorse, and 
inflict pain without apathy.  Becoming the Tournament Champion brought you no 
pleasure, the only thing that eases your pain is the brutality of the Tournament.
   It was long thought that the aliens were a unintelligent race, whose sole purpose
was to simply kill and reproduce.  As time passed and the frequency of alien encounters 
intensified, it became evident this was not the case.  Most of the aliens that 
come into contact with humans are just drones bore from the evil womb of an alien queen. 
The alien queens are intelligent and control the actions of their many drone offspring.  
Their goal is not different from any other species, to reproduce and dominate all they
encounter.
   Just recently contact was made with a group of alien queens.  In an agreement to 
keep their attacks minimized, the leaders of the Liandri Corporation have agreed 
to give them a opportunity at the most prestigous award known in the galaxy...
Tournament Champion.
  As the current Tournament Champion it is your job to face an alien in a Tournament match.
You will travel to the outskirts of the earth's solar system to an alien arena.  
This arena is where the alien queens train their most lethal drones against 
skaarj and human captives. This is your chance to ease your pain, this is your chance 
at revenge,... this is your Grudge Match!

Map Title				DM-The Grudge Match

Date of Release				June 24, 2000

Filenames				DM-GrudgeMatch.unr
					GrudgeMatch.utx
					Mayhem.umx
					DM-GrudgeMatch.text

Author:					Justin "whisper" Hart

Map Description:			A small arena in space, suitable for 2-4 players.

Construction Time:			About a month of weekends, late nights,
					and lots of coffee using UnrealEd. 

System Used:				PIII 450, voodoo3, 128mbRAM

Authors Note:				I made this map to be played against or
					with the alien queen model, but any model
					or skin will do!  This is my first attempt
					at a map, so I ENCOURAGE YOU to send feed-
					back to the address above. Whether you liked
					it or hated it, feel free to drop me a line.

Special Thanks:				Thank you to Judas Sinn for answers to many
					annoying questions, testing the map out, and
					all his other great advice.
					Also thanks to my good friend Aaron "Khaoz" East 
					for map testing and offering ideas for improvements.
					You guys were a great help!!

Gameplay Advice:			  The bots will grab all the powerups, even
					the megahealth!  They will also snipe from 
					the sniper rooms as long as the slider bars in  
					the bot config. are set appropriately: 
					camping (up a bit) and alertness (almost max).  
					  Crowding this map will hinder bot play, 
					as they will be to pre-occupied with killing 
					each other to cover the map well.  
					  Getting the megahealth requires a perfectly 
					centered running jump from the flak cannon.  
					It's takes a little practice, but that's the point!
					  For those of you who dislike the translocator in
					DM, there are 2 pairs of jump boots with 4 jumps 
					each to help you get your grubby little hands on
					the powerups and more powerful weapons.

Caution:				When a bot grabs the damage amp, run for 
					your life. =)

Known Bugs:				If you get in the right place in the center
					of the main room, you may get some minor 
					HOM effects while firing the minigun. 
					I don't know why, but I think it has something 
					to do with the polycount.  Let me know if 
					you find others.
