------General Information--------------------------------------------

Title           :  Chokehold

------Map Desciption-------------------------------------------------
Chokehold was designed for fast and furious Half-Life deathmatch
action, in the vein of maps like Bootcamp, Crossfire, Doublecross
and Gasworks.  Expect it to get messy...
The map contains every weapon except for the Hive Hand-o-lag.

------Credits and Thanks---------------------------------------------

Everyone at the Department of Engineering for playtesting and

And of course, thanks to Valve Software for creating the best game 
I've ever had the pleasure to play.

Finally, thanks in advance to any server ops who put this map in
rotation, and thanks to YOU for downloading it!  Have fun.

------Additional Notes-----------------------------------------------
I've never made a map for any game before, so this has been a real
learning experience for me. I know that this map has some problems in
terms of r_speeds, but most people have found it playable and I'm 
pretty happy with the gameplay, so I felt it was worthy of releasing.
I tried for a long time to try to get the r_speeds down more, but due
to the nature of the map in terms of layout and such there was only
so much that could be done.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy playing it as
much as I've enjoyed building it.  Have fun.
