Constructive criticism greatly appreciated.
On the cybers/spiders magikal, I'd think that when one is plowing one's way through an action packed, fast paced map filled with tactical and intense battles one wouldn't want to have to stop and circlestrafe around a cyberdemon for three, four, five minutes (although the big guns cyber battle was noticably shorter ;). Of course they're a 'fair challenge', but the amount of time it takes to sit around and beat one kind of drags out the map. But I suppose that could just be me. As for your last map, well, I found FOUR cyberdemons and a spidermind ALL huddled around the exit door. Don't take anything personally that you shouldn't, but I don't exactly call that 'sensible' placement.
Hey Liam,good points.The Cyber battle in Big Guns isn't really a battle is it? Beacause he can't hit you if you stand back.Yeah circle strafing those Cybers is definitely boring if you have anything less than the BFG.In Industrial you have it with plenty of ammo,the first 2 Cybers gone in 30 secs.As for the exit,yes 4 Cybers and 1 Spider,sounds ridiculous doesn't it? But look at the placement,no circle strafing for one.Total cover at the front wall.When you use the cover the Spider fights and kills at least one Cyber.The only difficult part is to time your run for the BFG ammo,once you do you're home and dry.This was the idea behind the ending of Industrial....to figure out HOW to dispatch those critters with the minimum of fuss and effort.If you go in guns blazing,you're dead.If you take a little time to think the situation through you then see how it can be done with relative ease.Take a look at at both lmps if you get the chance,Big Guns and Industrial at my page.Beware Industrial though 666kb unzipped and wait for it.....2hr24m12secs...and that's not slow btw,watch it with timedemo.
Never personal Liam,I admire your bottle for taking on the job and being open. I think the exchanges and opinions are well worthwhile:)
