      "description": "The Coliseum is a single mid-size map designed exclusively for strategic deathmatch play in Doom II. It features a limited weapon selection, restricted to plasma guns and chainguns, encouraging tactical combat rather than quick duels. The arena supports 2-4 players and emphasizes balanced engagements over chaotic swarms or boss fights. The level uses no new graphics, sounds, or music, maintaining a classic Doom II techbase aesthetic. Progression is straightforward and arena-focused, with no single-player or cooperative emphasis. The WAD is compatible with Doom II and does not implement difficulty settings or complex map structures.",
