After 5 embarrassing deaths I decided to start saving my game, and made it in 2 more deaths, which you will see too. You can tell the previous areas I died as I start using the plasma there. Finished with 100% kills, 44% secrets. I forgot to go back for the yellow key button, and didn't want to take that trap-looking teleport next to it. PrBoom demos here.
I also included the one of me getting stuck in the Yellow Key passage on first play so you see what I mean.
What else can I say but I loved it! The change of scenery is great, much more earthy, eldrich and fleshy than the previous maps. Hell certainly has its hold on the base by now. I love how you make areas secrets and traps, instead of just switches switches switches. The traps are surprising and can be difficult but are not too unfair. I don't know if it's intentional, but the Caco in the warehouse can very suddenly pop up and look in the window when you're upstairs which scared the shit out of me the first time it happened.
The only thing I didn't like was that some traps (red key, exit area) really did need prior knowledge of what you were getting into so you could pick the right weapon to survive. Then again maybe I was a bit hasty with rockets and plasma too early on.
Either way, these maps just keep getting better and better. I was actually kinda sad when the exit appeared, I didn't want it to be over. Rad work. Another classic masterpiece :)
