Description             : After defeating Hell's massive army at the Nexus
                          and losing consciousness, you awake to find
                          yourself trapped in the far reaches of Hell. The
                          Nexus rejected your Earthly presence, but now
                          it's time to show the demons that Hell is the
                          last place they want you.

                          Blast your way through the hordes of Hell to
                          find your way back to Earth. But first, time to
                          get out of this backwater hell pit...

- Added extra ammo to the start of map 2 and fixed the shotgun near
  the level's beginning not appearing on Hard difficulty settings.
- Added a workaround for a GZDoom bug causing level transition to not
  work properly in GZDoom versions 1.2.0 and 1.2.01.
- Added recommendation for not playing in software mode to this file.

GZDOOM AND SOFTWARE MODE
3d floors aren't displayed if you play GZDoom in software mode. Since
this feature is used in all of Titan 2's levels, playing in software
mode is not recommended.

JUMPING AND CROUCHING
Be aware that you can both jump and crouch with GZDoom - something that
will prove very useful when traversing the dangerous environments of
Titan 2 and when attempting to dodge that Imp's fireball.

GUIDE TO DIFFICULTY SETTINGS
Difficulty settings vary from WAD to WAD, and these days are quite
different than what some consider the relatively easy settings of Doom,
and even Doom 2. Therefore I've decided to make a little guide to how
to pick the difficulty rating that's right for you in Titan 2.

1. I'm Too Young To Die
You're not that experienced with Doom, you play using the keyboard only,
or you have the reflexes of a granny.

2. Hey, Not Too Rough
If you're not particularly awesome at Doom, you might want to start off
your journey into Titan 2 at this difficulty setting. This is the
recommended setting for most Doomers as they play through Titan 2 for
the first time.

3. Hurt Me Plenty
You're very good at Doom, or you don't mind getting your behind
handed to you once in a while. Or you've completed Titan 2 on a lower
difficulty and seek something a little more challenging.

4. Ultra-Violence
This setting is for advanced Doom players who've already defeated
Titan 2 on a lower difficulty. This setting should put back the
challenge in familiar surroundings. Raving Doom lunatics and madmen might
pick this difficulty for their first play through.

5. Nightmare
Good luck.


NEW MONSTERS
To make your journey through Titan 2 more challenging, several new bad
beasties have clawed their way out of their pits in order to ruin your
day.

Zombie Marine
You were wondering what happened to all the other marines. Obviously,
they got zombified and hid in some backwater hell pit until now. These
bastards fire plasma in your general direction, so get rid of them
fast! One clean shot with the super shotgun should take care of them.

Afrit
He looks like a Baron of Hell crossed with a genie. He's permanently
on fire, and he floats around setting fire to everything he sees,
including you. Better down this bastard before he turns you into his
own special barbecue. He's tough, but you've seen tougher.

Lord of Heresy
This guy resembles a Baron of Hell a lot. Except his face looks a lot
meaner, and he has wings. Turns out while all the Hell Barons and
Hell Knights were busy fighting you, the Heresy Lords were inventing
new ways to abuse energy balls. The Heresy Lord will toss energy balls
like there was no tomorrow, and even has a powerful nova attack. If you
plan to live, keep your distance.

Hectebus
You thought you made this particular species extinct after the events on
Titan, but you never know if Hell's been keeping a few in reserve just to
piss on your parade. This guy is like a super Mancubus capable of
unleashing a massive torrent of explosive orbs that'll reduce you to a
cinder if you get in the way of the blast.

Bruiser Demon
Even the Heresy Lord steps aside to make way for this guy. His arms are
on fire, his feet are on fire, and by the look in his eyes, he has
every intention of ensuring that you are on fire, too. Don't be caught
in his line of fire (haha) unless you're planning a career shift to
smoking crater.

Kingpin
Someone, or something, more like, is responsible for you being trapped
in Hell. Most likely it's big, bad and has access to gratuitous amounts
of firepower. You will find out, whatever it is, and hopefully kick its
ass. But you know better than to underestimate it. Given all the stuff
it's been able to accomplish, the supremety of this devil, this fiend,
is not to be taken lightly.
