* LEVEL DESCRIPTION *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a gimmick level based in which you must push a ball into the opposing
team's goal. There are two balls, to make life interesting.

There is also a team of Yellowbellies, for the faint of heart, who'd rather just
watch the game and throw things at the players.

New in this version, is the Controller team (a team of one scout).
There are five interesting controls that can be operated to change the style of gameplay.

1) The Net. The net can be in tennis, volleyball, or retracted positions. When the net is in tennis or volleyball position, players are considered out of bounds if they cross the white center line.

2) Spam. This lowers the metallic guards above the Yellowbellies' windows, allowing them to shower the court with mirv grenades. A Yellowbelly gets one mirv every 20 seconds.

3) Gravity. Gravity can be set to 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of standard HL gravity. I do not recommend 100% gravity for normal servers. Players will probably have the most fun at 25% gravity, which is currently the default.

4) Ramp Walls. A set of ramps can be raised along the walls of the arena, to make gameplay more intresting.

5) Stub Ramps. A set of ramps (two on each side of the net) which can be used to launch balls over the net and at the enemy goal. These and/or the Ramp Walls make playing while the net is up more insteresting.

x) Flow Control. This button drops the grates that usually only come down after a ball has gone into the goal. It should only be used if the balls get stuck in the goal.
