Description:	You and your friends have decided to train on grounds you may find on a real mission. Within you find a temple with an exit leading outside and a military battleground in which to fight. You take a position and find your friend scrambling to find his. That's when you're up a FRAG. Each player starts with exactly the same armor and weapons. Players are judged on their skills to survive.

DM map, with unusal design. The players start outside the arena (separated into two parts, an arcade with marble pillars and lighting effects, and a bright section with buildings, catwalks, and sniper points) and are equipped equally as they go in. The main problem is that you only get a rocket launcher. There's also one shotgun placed in the map, but there is no extra ammo supplied for it. This makes for a very monotonous DM session with rocket spamming and a mediocre experience at best. --2/5

Description             : You and your friends have decided to train on
                          grounds you may find on a real mission.  Within
                          you find a temple with an exit leading outside
                          and a military battleground in which to fight.
                          You take a position and find your friend scrambling
                          to find his.  That's when you're up a FRAG.  
                          Each player starts with exactly the same armor 
                          and weapons.  Players are judged on their skills 
                          to survive.

Size                    : The PWAD is small.

Playing Style:          : DEATHMATCH WAD trainer.  Designed to allow a 
                          variety of playing styles to be used with no
                          advantage to any one style.  Sniper zones
                          are present however snipers are as vulnerable
                          as anyone in this PWAD.  Sit and wait strategy
                          can be used but waiting positions are also 
                          vulnerable.  Moving at all times can prove  
                          to bring about a quick demise.  This PWAD was 
                          designed to prove who is the BEST at DEATHMATCH
                          play.
