Anonymous	Love heretic maps. Having said that and played this @ UV, this is a large adventure with a quite simple look, feel & play. Layout is mostly simple and ofter repetitive, decoration is spare. There are a lot of empty places, and when monsters arrive, it's usually a boring bunch of the same kind. The few open areas hold too many snipers. And UV is waaay too easy. Overall: 2* for an adventure sadly not giving much fun + .5 for the effort + .5 extra because it's heretic = 3*.	x
Anonymous	Awesome, large map. Great atmosphere. I went ahead and updated my own personal little Heretic port just to be able to play this!	x
Anonymous	Great level, really enjoyed it!	x
Anonymous	Fun map!	x
Anonymous	Clearly bigger and better detailed than its predecessor. Even if it remains kinda easy for experienced gamers, I recommand playing it, as such quality maps are rare. 5/5. ~Naan	x

How to run the level:
---------------------

Create a shortcut to wHeretic.exe with this command line:

wheretic.exe -file darkmtn2.wad -warp 2 5 -skill 4

If you want a different skill level, just change the number after -skill.

I've also included a batch file that'll run it. Copy DARMMTN2.BAT and
DARKMTN2.WAD to your Heretic directory, then double-click DARKMTN2.BAT.
To play a different skill level, just edit the batch file and change "-skill 4"
to whatever you want. Also, the batch file is setup to run wHeretic.exe, so
if you're using something else, you'll need to change it.
