Multilevel shooter?

Me and a group of friends are planning on making a game, and we were looking at the Unity engine. We just beginners and still have a lot to learn. Right now the plan is to make a FPS where you start at the bottom of a cave, and fight your way to the surface. We want it to be long. Is there a way in Unity to give the game multiple levels that play one after another? Or would we have to simply create one massive level that could potentially take forever to load? I don't want to get started and then find out we only have one level. Thanks!

You can have multiple levels - http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Application.LoadLevel.html.

You can even load levels additive to others - http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Application.LoadLevelAdditive.html.

You can use multiple scenes as different levels. That is basically their main function.

Cheers,
