description: MASSIVE city level.
             THE STORY: having successfully escaped san-angelos, found the transporter to
	     the alien home world ( levels one thru three ), and liberated the clandestine
	     transporter research facility ( level four ), the time has come to deal with
	     the real evil.... the alien sympathizers. and where else, but in new york city.
	     YOUR MISSION: intelligence reports that a high-level official has files hidden
	     somewhere in midtown which contain the names of all who have conspired with the
	     alien scum. of course, said alien scum has recently overrun the city. after
	     making a HALO drop to the top of a building, you are to dispose of this vile
	     infestation, follow the paper trail, and root out whoever sold us out. we need
	     those files! so go ahead, bite the big apple.
             THIS LEVEL IS NEITHER MADE, NOR SUPPORTED BY, 3DREALMS.

permissions: this level may be distributed by any means, as long as it is accompanied
             by this readme file. it may NOT be used, in whole or in part, as the basis
             for other levels. ( if you're that lazy, why bother? )

comments: this level was finished on an nv/hl 3000 ( my own brand ) pII 350, with 64mb
             system memory, 512kb cache, and a 32mb ati rage fury 3d card, using the
             atomic edition v1.5. frame rates average out at about 25 to 30, dipping
             down to 20 in some spots. this is at 800x600 svga. 320x240 runs roughly
             60 to 70 or better. on my machine. individual results may vary, most
             especially on a 486. if you have less than a p200 with 32mb, you will
             be wasting your time.
	     i would have liked to have included something from conspiracy theory,
	     blade, and the matrix, but ran out of space. as it is, there are better
	     than 10 film, tv, and book references, mostly in a world-within-the-world/
	     conspiracy/totalitarian vein. i hope i have done the subject justice.
             HINTS: if you've read this far, you deserve something --
             don't waste your explosives. use tactics. there are plenty of corners
             and such to use for cover. some buttons are hard to find, so examine
             everything. best bet is to clear the streets, and then attack the
	     skyscrapers. a trip to the gunstore first might help. watch your back.
	     and yes, you can make that jump.
