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               :

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.
