Cycloid's doom stuff

"The Source" - That's what they call it.
No one quite knows what it is, apart from the
birthing grounds of the monstrous army that
invaded your planet. Your team was sent to
destroy it, but the way in was heavily guarded,
and now only you survive.
You'll have to find another way in...

Scimitar is a 3-episode 20 level Megawad for Doom 2, it is designed to run on MBF-based
source ports, and extensively uses Boom editing techniques along with a dehacked patch.
Each level havs a unique feel and feature whilst still remaining heavily themed to it's
episode. They are all designed to be played both through and from a pistol start.
The wad also includes several new monsters, each in keeping with their siblings
in the original Doom 2, but with a few surprises thrown in.
The centerpiece of the wad is a three level hub, where the player must collect a gem
from each arena to progress through. Several other arena-styled sequences are found in the wad.
