Title : Driving home for Christmas
Filename : DHFC
Author : Rob Wijkstra (HighWire)
E-mail : kickassy35@hotmail.com
Description : New Duke3d usermap with Christmas theme and new arts
Additional Credits To : Tom Veenstra, for assisting me with some arts again as
he did with City Terror and City Terror 2.
Good job for saving the level theme, good buddy!
Merlijn van Oostrum, for inspiring me for the 'deathmatch mode'
in the level.
Story : Duke grunted. "Damn snow!" As he tried to get out of his
car that has been trapped into a big pile of snow.
He tried once more and he finally got out of it. Duke
was on his way home but one of those rock walls collapsed
while Duke drove by, and lots of snow fell over the car.
"Damn, if I don't get home for Christmas I am going to be
friggin' pissed!"
Additional Map Info : Help duke to get home in time to party! He is not in the mood
to wait another year to celebrate christmas with his *cough*
female company!
Note from the Author : I made this map just for fun, so don't expect a extremely detailed
level! Enjoy it's gameplay because that's what it has been made for
mostly. And I just thought it was fun to release something xmas
related to all the Duke fans!
If you decide to play a deathmatch in the level, you will notice some
things are different. Activating the huge button in the start
position will open a teleporter to the town at the end of the level.
The battle will be fought in the town... I tried to make happen all
over the level but then the game would become too unbalanced. :(
Anyways, when your buddies want to play you can do a coop match too
(Christmas is not really about killing your buddies all the time I guess. :P
Have a good time this christmas and have a happy new year!
I certainly hope I can release City Terror 2 somewhere in 2004!
