Map's Story:

 This place is actually the mountains that Tom Cruise climbed on the beggining of MI 2, him
or his double, wathever. After the movie was proyected, the place became very famous since
a Tom Cruise fan club took it as it's place for gathering. That fan club later became a
whole cult, and to prevent any kind of troubles, the cult was slaughtered all along the set
of mountains. Instead of cleaning up the whole mess, the government submitted the place as
a DeatMatch arena.

Developer Notes:

- Another of my very first maps, went through a lot of modification since the first build,
  wich was a couple of rough and ugly red & yellow risks and bad gameplay layout.

- Nobody is perfect. This map could have and probably has bugs, either graphical or of
  gameplay. If you happen to spot any bug, regardless how insignificant it may be, you're
  welcome to send a notice to my mail so I can fix it in a future version. Thanks.
