Description:	BTW: THIS WAD IS FOR DOOM 2 This wad is based on HEADLONG.WAD but I made many improvements and I think you'll find it's quite different. It's got (as far as I know) every weapon in the game and is intended for deathmatch with no monsters (only way to play!). I did add co-op starts and some monsters but I didn't spend much time on that. I took advantage of some of the new textures from Doom 2 such as the panelling and bookshelves. The exit is easy to reach and very visible because I expect in deathmatch it will make it easier for you. (why bother with co-op exits? :) Anyway, I can't think of anything else to say, except maybe that if you're wondering where I got the name , it's from the best book of all time, `The Stand' by Stephen King and it seemed as good a name as any! :)
Credits:	Jeff Rabenhorst for making _the_ best editor out there, edmap.
Base:	New level from scratch. Based loosely on Headlong.
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	Edmap 1.20 beta and BSP12TC
Bugs:	There is one spot where I just could not get the door to work both ways. I tried every possible linedef action but that sucker wants to stay closed. :). Looking at it, it might be better that way anyway but you'll have to decide. (it's the door by the exit)

Anonymous	Another "get your ass to the finish as fast as you can" type of level. Nothing interesting, nothing challenging, just crap.	x
Anonymous	Now to be fair, this is the earliest Doom II map there is on the archive, but, this could have been a shit ton better. I mean I can't even beat this map on normal, there are THREE Arch-Viles out in the beginning of the map. And, you only have a Chaingun with 60 Bullets, and, a Super Shotgun with 6 shells. Impossible if you aren't a Doomgod, unlike myself. Overall, avoid this map if you don't want a shitty file on your computer.	x
Anonymous	hurray for a shitty 1994 wad	x
