Comments:Ok bit of a departure from the usual arrow look and feel. Map1 is a well balanced level with all weapons avail
BFG usage is encouraged as its not to hard to dodge it. This rocks as a 1 on 1 level. Map 2 is a "strategic" level there are
many different doors and plats that make different sounds if you listen you can figure out what you opponent is up too. So 2
levels I hope will satify both dooming styles. Playing a fast killfest then changing to a strategy level is kinda cool.
Check out the rocket sound :). Have Fun. (P.S. Turn on Monsters for Map2 to add some flavor)

Comments:This is fuckin' awesome. A great idea.. to play this you *must* switch on monsters
/nomon. Inside the main building is a huge throne occupied by a cyber guarding the BFG, plasma and a MegaSphere.
Sourounding him are several "deth" pits also occupied by cybers .. there is no way out of these but then again
I could be wrong 'cos I never had time to look for an exit :). Outside is airy and the temple looks awesome ..
you will notice several piles of dead marines .. If you look closely they have height!! Good weapon placement
and DM starts this is a well thaught out wad..it is best with 3 or 4 players although 1 on 1 could be interesting.
Check it out after a few beers for awesome fun 8-).

Comments:This one is the total opposite of Master.wad a HUGE open space with nothing but
rocket launchers...This is great fun you can just overtake your rockets by side straffing ..man is
it cool to watch 50 rockets travel along beside you :). When you spot your opponent its zero in on the
kill time, he with the best spread wins. Play this, it really is alotta fun!!. blah2 is like master except its got

Comments:Banes new Agonism. Man I love these wads :). Theres nearly as many agonisms as arrows but
this one stands out. Cool weapon placement and dm starts, nice "feel" to the textures, smooth play
..this is as good a dm wad as your gonna get. A bit small maybe for 3 or more players but that leads
to more blood which is a good thing :). Too many fucking barrels strewn about but they soon dissapear in
in a hail of screams ... Also included in the zip is agonism6 and agonism7 they also rock .. I suggest putting
up all three with a 10 minute timer for a most enjoyable fragging experience.

Comments:This is a cool wad! Its perfect for 1 on 1 and has a nice balanced feel reminiscent of
map 1, a 4 way may be a frag fest :) . Although the texture change between the different areas is a bit
odd it definitely looks good. I like the fact you can keep moving while changing heights. Grab this check it out ..
I'm looking forward to Jakes next one.

Levels:Map 1/2/3
Size:2.28megs
Author:Jerms Cosmo69 (+others)
Comments:This wad has a great new concept, many levels within one level. What does that mean..well you enter the wad
and are confronted with a list of levels and a bunch of doorways. You choose level to play and enter the doorway with players.
The next thing you see are 5 deathmatch teleports, pick one and you are in the level. Once a level is chosen all the others
are blocked off. This idea is really cool but unfortunately most of the levels just plain suck. I checked out all the map 1
levels and "Whoopings" was perhaps the only good one, Hersey map 2 is ok but not as good a dwango6 map1. Love the idea and
am thinking of implementing something similar for ifrag. I recommend you *TRY* this wad cos of the
new way of organising the levels ...play map 2 and 3 and let me know what you think.

Comments:I recently played this blast from the past and felt compelled to review it here cos it rocks.
This is the ultimate in dm wads, tight yet flowing [sounds erotic :)]. Three fragging areas deviously linked
and 2 "cubby" holes make for some "interesting" frags. Unfortunatly in the original the exit didn't work
(you cannot leave muhahaha) so I fixed it hence the a on the end. (Hope you dont mind Geo)

Comments:Follow up the awesome fastdm.wad. This one rocks me too babee. It features the usual Cabal wierdness
(dubious skylines, reversed tranparent grating textures, ponds). It has a nice circular flow, cool weapon placement and
deathmatch starts. The outstanding feature (that made fastdm famous) is the trip to get the plasma, this is awesome
(I keep practicing but fly of the edge of that last pillar) you try it :). The zip contains 2 others of Cabal R0TT1
and KRoom38 also excellent. Dl Now.

Author:PVP
Comments:Latest wad in the PV series. I asked PVP what happened
to PV7 and PV8.. "pv7 was single play and pv8 sucked he said." hehe.
Well this one is cool, a huge jump in design layout from the other
wads. The balance is great, that is fragging takes place all over the
wad. Be it in the pool, over the bridge, across the river of blood,
through the forest or trying to get the plasma (one end of the river)
it rocks. Here's one, the BFG is easily accessible but there are lots
of places to shield yourself from green rays, so I think
its ok to be liberal with it in this wad. Grab it and get some BFG
practice in or play 1 on 1 and think to yourself "now where the fuck
(can I still say fuck?) is that bastard...Bam!" :)

Comments:New one in the Agonism series check it out. Great for dm action. You can zip in and out of
the many areas yet the wad doesn't feel clostrophobic. The real treat is trying to get the damn BFG and plasma
Bane has come up with a perfect match of skill an luck. The center area contains the BFG and plasma and has
floors that lower and raise out of sync, fortunately you are protected while you try to get the weapons.
I like this a lot get it and play it.

A Collection of the most popular levels on iFrag,
this is a must have. Some of Docs top ten wads appear in this one some
of the levels
include classics such as Scraba2a (shown), Polyspon, Justice1,
Arrow18/16, Jroom38. I heard reports that sometimes it crashes. let
me know if this happens to you.

Comments:
Number 6 in the PV series (1/2/4/5 were experimental) check out PV3.
This is a cool wad for dm, but requires some practice learning the
layout. The layout is balanced so fragging takes place all over the wad
not just in one area. Watch out for the "PVP plasma trap" to get out of
the plasma area press any of the low walls. A cool idea in this one is
that when someone tries to get the plasma rifle a platform is lowered
elsewhere in the wad revealing the BFG. Makes you think twice about
going for plasma 8-). Be careful about pressing the switch near the
rocket tower it is the exit (exit sign
is one the wall) there is a slight texture mismatch there.

Number 4 in the agonism series, check out 1 and 3
(havnt seen 2). This is the best in the series so far I like the
outdoor post battlefield setting.
Remember to set for Map 4. The only problem is the damn trees near the rocket launcher Plasma is hard to get.
You will find some nice armour hidden in the exit. Nice texture work on the demolished building (kewl).

A lot of work went into these two levels, the textures blend beautifully.

Comments:
Map 1 which was w00p.wad is very cool for ALT dm. This one is another hacked DOOM ][ map1 wad but it works quite well.
The BFG is on top of a brown pillar in the area beside the steps with the rocket at the bottom.
The plasma rifle and a backpak are under the cream pillars in the area where the exit is.
Map 2 is part of Tree's flamelev,
a good wad although plasma tends to be used a lot due to the darkness.
Its good to be brown in this one. Map 3 is new to me but I found
it very playable after a while. There is a slime fall that you can hide
behind and frag un-suspecting doomers, you can also lob a rocket into
it from the other side on the off chance there might be a "camper"
behind it. If there is the frag satisfaction factor (FSF) is in the
high ninties. I will add reviews for the other levels if I play them.
