I briefly tested this one on UV, and as the title suggests I needed all my survival instincts to get through it on my first attempt.
I don't really have any suggestions to make regarding improvements. The gameplay was action packed and exciting, with attacks seemingly coming from all sides once you enter the base and one ambush that was totally unexpected and left me in single digits health. Nothing that you needed to know about beforehand to have any chance of surviving, either, which is always a plus.
Visually it was extremely impressive as well. New textures have been used to great effect, and the layout and the use of lighting and varying sector heights make the map seem 'realistic' (for want of a better word) and uncontrived. It's the type of map that makes me forget I'm supposed to be testing it, which is a good thing :P
The secrets were extremely clever. It's difficult to strike a good balance between making them too difficult or too easy to find, but I managed to get almost all of them without using an editor without finding any of them too obvious (only missed the one right at the start, actually, but in retrospect I should have seen it).
The one thing I noticed is that some of the monsters seem to be stuck. I noticed this in the last outdoors area with the arachnotron hiding behind the tower with the key in it, and I think there were a few imps towards the start which were stuck as well. Worth going through on UV and taking a look, I think.
Would be nice to have some new music, I think, but your mileage may vary.
Overall, a very impressive map. You've clearly still got it :P
