Description          :
For my first map ever, I chose a pretty straight-up, uncomplicated UT99 map to port.
I didn't change very much from the original.  Added 2 health pickups and some sniper and LG ammo.
(See the original notes from RichD below)

Construction time    : Several weeks.

Thanks               :
Thanks go out to my family for putting up with me working on this too much of the time.  :-)

Thanks also to BT|Chronos and [ßÏØ]ÐëAdMåN for helping me learn the ropes in UnrealEd 3.0 and also
showing me how to port maps from UT99.

Thanks to Rich Davis (bliss7), the author of the original DM-Gladiator, for his permission and support.

Description:

Went to see Gladiator and thought it would be nice to play in an arena resembling the
Roman Arenas, but set in the future.  Therefore the map is basically a large arena with all
the weapons inside and numerous doorways around the sides.  All the UT standard weapons are
available, however there is no ammo, just a quick scramble to the next available weapon.
Overall this is just a simple deathmatch level with the emphesis on the word death!  Team
games work well and Last Man Standing games are fun.  The ideal player count is at 2 to
8 players, although it runs fine well into the 16 player area.  As a quick note, a friend
described it simply as '****ing chaos'...  Ho-hum.  Enjoy.
