The following link is a modified version of this PWAD, changing a few things in map32 for a better flow. Changes made by MegaDoomer.
LINK REMOVED BECAUSE THE WAD DOES NOT ALLOW MODIFICATIONS
Maybe I should have stated that approval was given to modify this map. My bad!
His changes:
"1) I removed all 800 Nazi troopers. They are what really are completely out of place and spoil the map IMO.
2) I took out the blue armor and supercharge near the beginning. I played the map after edits starting with a normal 100% health and no armor as I entered into the E1 dimension, and the balance seemed to work quite well.
3) For each weapon at the start, I removed all the ammo for that weapon except the weapon itself. Without the massive Nazi fight that has to be considered, full supplies in everything are not needed; I tested it and it worked well in similar fashion to the health/armor. The only weapon I did keep other ammo for is the Rocket Launcher. However, I only kept roughly enough to kill the first set of Archviles (before you enter the E1 dimension) with it.
4) I removed the super shotgun (SSG) and preserved the backpack by putting it in the SSG's place. Since the level is essentially a Doom I tour, any SSG action seems unfitting.
5) Other small improvements/changes mainly to gameplay
Changing all this, the balance on UV seemed pretty good from start to finish. And it was a LOT of fun! In fact even though it was one of the 2011 maps I think with these changes it is the best map in the megawad - almost good enough to alone be worth the price of admission. :) It's like an entire Classic Doom tribute wad in one level, just awesome, when all the extra stuff at the start is removed. I kept the Archviles because it "forces" the player to use up some of his/her heavy ammo (rockets/cells) when switching dimensions; and again this worked well when I played it, to prevent entry into one of the "dimensions" when significantly overequipped."
