I've been playing the crap out of this set when it hit so here's several aspects I'd like to point out or pitch your way:
-Nuke the suicide exits (you're already in the process of doing so). If you plan on implementing any sort of speed exits (or alternate suicide exits) then at least 'make' the player do some work to achieve those faster exits.
-That Map23 situation 'may' need to be addressed (the red Morgul area rockets). Though I'm one of those players that can get around this, there may be those that are caught unaware (ehem, don't read the txt file) and suffer instant death at the hands of the Cleric army.
-The skip maps have got to go...You could replace each of them with some 'intermission' maps. These can range from Scythe E1-scaled maps to BFG slaughtermaps (myself and many others feel that there just isn't enough of them <I don't count Morgul for it's too easy to be an intimidating slaughtermap...esp on UV>).
-More speed-running tricks and clever shortcuts please!!
-Please, for the love of senseless death, beef up Map12-UV!! For one thing, those spider corpses look rather lonely in their cages when no other monsters join them. Secondly, that main chamber in general is pretty blah to me considering that no monsters really roam in there (before and after the multi-keyed wall is lowered).
-Things I wish to see in the new maps:
+Revamped classic DV traps that haven't been touched yet <DV04 360 degree trap>.
+A closed-in Afrit curve **...I'd say 15 Afrits tops depending on curve size.
+A fight against multitudes of foes (stronger ones). Something like one of Cyb's maps (the one where you fight an onslaught of Dark Imps and Demons outside that fortress, someone should know what I'm talking about here).
+One Heaven-themed map (DVII-29 doesn't count...sorry).
+One map where you're stuck within stargates <malfunction anyone!?> (probably between CT:HA and the Morgul) and you have to make it out of Limbo (not E3M7-style, but Void...without the necessity to jump.
+More easter eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-A slaughtermap that forces you to use the DBSS or PG to kill the opposition...with a speed shortcut that allows you to gain the BFG off the bat (via voodoo doll, like Map21) for speed runs.
I apologize if I'm going a bit overboard here, but it's your project man so you make the decisions in the end. This is all coming from a guy who draws maps in a notebook and writes out how his maps play out in words...I just don't have the time these days to even mess with map editors so my stuff stays in exile.
Good hunting...
