And, of course, those guys at id. <-breath-> Description : -= Breakin' Out =- After fighting off the throngs of hell and kicking major ass, you wonder if it's actually over. You are _the_ man of the world, girls want to have your baby, you could run for president, so forth. Still you wonder if some Hell spawn might have survived. A year has passed, and you have heard rumors about a secret base in the South American Andes. These rumors subsided, and it was forgotten. But then, in a small country in South America, mysterious troops brutally put down a huge revolt that should have been all too successful. The government had no major defenses and inferior weapons. Pictures coming back from the showed what looked like normal troops. But you knew better. Those soldiers were the same soldiers you killed more than a year ago. You use your well-earned clout to get stationed close to the area. You gather info on the troops and you discover that it's all tied to the secret base in the mountains. Your curiosity gets the best of you and you head out on a scouting mission. All you pack is your trusty pistol as you head out. You easily find a way into the base and you see that it is run by the same company that started this whole mess. You see gigantic cages, vats, pits, and most of all, DEMON SPAWN!! You almost crap in your pants when you see all the Hellians that they had. They must have cloned them all from the bloody mess you had made out of them. The UAC had been allowed to respawn all the demented things that you had worked so hard to destroy! You rush back down the mountain to see if you can use your fame to stop the UAC from making the same mistake they did more than a year ago. In your haste, you fail to notice a UAC patrol coming up on your side. You hear a former human shout, "FREEZE OR...", and you shoot him down in mid-sentence. It is then that you here the launch of a missle in the air and the stunning scream of a pissed CyberDemon. You turn only to look into the barrel of several chainguns, shotguns, and rifles. The last thing you remember is wondering how the UAC could control these beings as CyberDemon knocks you out cold. You're now in some sort of holding cell. Fortunatly, your guard is a former human. You take him out as soon as you wake up. Now, your mission is clear. Wipe out the base and any chance that the demons might come back. Hopefully they also respawned all the weapons and artifacts that you found while fighting in Hell and on Earth. Hopefully they don't know you've broken out. Hopefully I can type fast. Instructions : Put all those zipped files in your DOOM II directory, run Dehacked (it'll back up your exe so don't sweat it), then type "B" and hit enter. The B.EXE executable file detects whether or not you have the DOOMHACK.EXE and asks you which exe that you want to use. If it finds only the DOOM2.EXE, it will automatically run BREAK.WAD with it. It will also check BREAK.WAD for tampering, and it _will_ let ya know if it fails! If you need more instructions, then you should let up on the video games. Advice : If this PWAD does anything you don't like, trash it. It wasn't us who forced it onto your hard drive. If this PWAD makes you want to maim us, kill us ,or do any other sort of bodily harm, you need to stop playing DooM II for a little while. Neither Brian or Jason will accept liability for the PWAD, nor for the executable.

If you don't, you can find it at the following sites: BBS's Phoenix Area! Live Wire BBS - (602)277-0025 The Gate BBS - (602)829-9200 The Coffee Club - (602)945-1684 FTP site's ftp.cdrom.com ftp.idsoftware.com * Hints * ========= Now that you've read this far, some juicy tidbits for all you beginners: 1. A lot of unmarked secrets are in these levels. Watch the demos! All techniques and secrets are shown in the demos! The demos to the first six levels are included. The first three are built in, so those are easy. The last three are in another wad, but to see those just type this: DOOM2 -FILE BREAK.WAD BDEMOS.WAD - or - DOOMHACK -FILE BREAK.WAD BDEMOS.WAD (you need DooM II v.1.9 to see demos) 2. Save a lot! I always have 1 save-game slot open for home-brew wads, but if you don't, back up a slot in another directory and use it for now. Of course you could just risk it... 3. Skull keys are keys to secret doors! You got to find the secret door though... 4. If you see something that's too easy, it is. Save the game and then go for it. 5. (cheat) That's right. If you just suck and need an easy way out, go ahead. Just beware, the Dehacked patch will spit out an annoying message... 6. Send us money! When you send money to us, you get that warm, fuzzy feeling that enhances your game. Trust us! Your game will improve! * Goodbye * Don't I just babble on and on! Later n' stuff from J-Dog. Phunk hates people who read really long text files so he's not talking to you. Remember: (åï÷Õæs‹èü brings the best in DooM / DooM II wads!
