File size               : 3.1 Mb

Description             : Hong Exploder is a tight multi-level deathmatch arena modelled in the base style.
			  All the weapons, except BFG, are included, the power-up is a Quad/Haste random spawn.
			  We have made much more effort in this level than previously to get a good combination
			  of killer gameplay with good graphics and brush detail.  This map has also been an
			  experimentation of the numerous optimisation techniques available in the software to
			  keep the framerate as high as possible for your fragging enjoyment.
			  Any constructive criticism is gratefully received, there is always more to learn :)
			  

Additional Thanks to    : Mesh Hong for help with testing, texture ideas and the great "Exploder" logo
			  on the loading screen.  Thanks also to the makers of the ikbase texture set
			  which we dipped into heavily.
