=== Levels
* _FreeDM_ has seen a major overhaul, with most maps being modified,
with new additions and removals of the weaker levels. It now
benefits from the use of Aquatex and Egyptian textures in some of
its levels, giving a more vibrant feel than before.
* _Phase 1_ gets a lot of mapping love in this round, fleshing out
the levels and tweaking difficulty levels so easy, normal, and
hard are all accounted for. There is a new C3M5 by Mortrixs.
* _Phase 2_ MAP01 saw an overhaul, simplifying its design in
significant ways to improve the flow around the level.
* Two maps in _Phase 2_ were replaced due to being recreations of
_Doom II_ maps. Jayexetee and GooseJelly get credits for the new
ones, in MAP06 and MAP26.
* Maps in _Phase 2_ in general have had some slight re-arrangement
based on difficulty levels and themes. A new MAP06 by Jayexetee
is included, the old one taking the MAP18 slot.
* All levels are now guaranteed to have co-op and deathmatch starts.
