** PLAY INFORMATION **

SINGLE PLAYER:
Just to familiarise yourself.

MULTIPLAYER:
4-8 players. 6 seemed the ideal amount. 16 respawn points are included.

DESCRIPTION:
Small map based *loosely* on a sewage facility theme. I opted for gameplay over realism in the end.

PLAYING:
One press of either of the buttons yields obvious results - bridges are briefly extended to the sniper rifle platform. The other sniper rifle is located inside a poisonous sewage pipe. The poison lingers for around 5 seconds, so don't try grabbing it when on low health. Not much to chunder on about here as Jaw Action is a small map with not much explanation needed.

Hope you like Jaw Action. I'd appreciate feedback too...to my email address at the top of this text file. It's a major commitment putting in the time to design these damn maps, so I fully welcome any & all constructive encouragement / ideas / criticisms / praises. Job offers welcome too!!
