Subway Redux - Version 1.1
--------------------------

Welcome to Subway Redux.  

Subway was one of 9 additional maps included in Rebellion's original Aliens vs Predator Gold Edition and was a popular Multiplayer map for that game.  The original map was ported over to Aliens vs Predator 2 by Scythewraith as a raw DEdit (.ed) file.  Using that port as a template, Subway Redux is a highly detailed recreation of the original map featuring improved architectural details.  It is more than just a pixel per pixel remake of the original map.  It is intended to be a definitive enhanced interpretation of Subway; taking advantage of AvP2's LithTech Talon engine features.  

It is hoped that fans of the original AvP-GE map will enjoy this version and find it to be a rewarding gaming experience.  This release of the map contains 2 versions:  DM\TDM Multiplayer; and Single Player Marine Skirmish.

My Thanks Goes to These People:  
-------------------------------

Thanx, Scythewraith for porting the original Subway map over to AvP2.  I wouldn't have bothered embarking on this project and making Subway Redux if you hadn't done so.

Thanx, to Groden and Praetor for helping to get this revised version out to the world quickly.

Thanx, to my wife, the Evil Devilfish.

Thanx, Rebellion for original Aliens vs. Predator - it's still a great game.

Thanx, Monolith for creating Aliens vs. Predator 2; and then giving us the tools so that we could make it even better!  ;)

!!!WE WANT MORE AVP2 SKIRMISH MAPS!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!  There's an Alien vs Predator movie in the works!  

YIPPEE!!!  WOO-HOO!!!  HOORAY!!!  

It sure would be nice if the Monolith Productions designers gave us some fresh content for AvP2 to celebrate it, hey.  Like giving us proper Co-Op and Skirmish modes.

Yeah, right.  Fat chance of that happening.  Pikers.
