	- Comments -

  As with my previous map, Carnage Absolute, I wanted to create a real
world environment for your fraggin' pleasures. In this map, I wanted to
give it more of a southwestern feel. If you cruise around the map before
the bloodbath starts, you'll hear the sounds of a select variety of birds
native to the southwest. If you've never been there, well this is what the
southwest sounds like in the early morning. GOD I miss my home :0(

  Anyway, I hope you enjoy the map and make sure to bring you shades and
sunscreen. The desert can be hard on the hide... Oh, and don't  mind the 
birds, they're there just to feast on the fleshy parts :0)  

	- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -

  Extract the whole mess to x:\ where "x" is the drive you have Quake2
installed. In most cases this, this would be your "C" drive. Don't worry,
it'll unzip all the files to their proper locations. When you're done and
return to your desktop, you'll notice the file desnoon.zip sitting in your
\baseq2 directory. That is the sky for this masterpiece. If you already 
have this sky installed, then just delete that file and get onto fraggin'.
Otherwise, unzip the file into your \env directory. If you want, you could 
delete the .bmp files as they are for use in Half-Life.
