   He did do one great thing - created the DM map that all railers hated and 
most 56kers loved:  Tokay's Towers.  That level was a great ping equalizier. 
There wan't anywhere in the map you could be where there wasn't a nearby way 
to either jump off a platform or jump on an elevator to get away from an 
HPB.  Ahhh.......the good old days of 300 ping, and getting stuck on door 
moldings and slanted walls.......and not knowing how to change my crosshair.
