From the looks of the picture, it looks really intresting! When I get home, I'll download it and give some critique :P

It's pretty good design but I would say your slopes don't look so great at all. Next time when your doing slopes tessellate them so the seams align correctly which you did do in some areas but it doesn't do justice to the walls which is in view most of the time.

Cool map! Here is a little error I noticed, probably wrong sector color: pic

Okay here's my review!

Difficulty 3.5/5: I liked the difficulty being based on strict health and very small amount of ammo so you have to be carefull and not aimlessly blow ammo away like a dumbass. The lack of monsters in the map add up to the suspense, but kinda make boring. Oh, and at the end with the caco demons after then earthquake effect, I had no ammo left and I died a bunch of times trying to chainsaw dem cacos :\

Level Design 5/5: I really liked the level design! Especially the beggining with the jumping puzzle and not to mention the nice looking 3D bridge to get into the base. And I liked how the plot revolved around the NPC marines (Which were really cool by the way) talking about the hole that formed. The part where the Arch-viles surrond you (but don't attack you, only look at you) was a nifty effect, but it made it impossible to get 100% kills, next time you try something like that, try to do it without the monsters being counted as "enemies". And good work with the ZDoom effects ;)

Replayability: 2/5: As good as the map is, I don't know if I would play this a lot like AV or Scythe, but then again this is only ONE level. But the fact that the replayability score is low, doesn't mean that it's a bad thing, just that the map was so short and all. Next time try to make the map a bit longer with more monsters


Bugs: 1. When you go into the first 'hell hole' in one of the little ponds of slime, I noticed a HOM effect even with OpenGL mode on with Skulltag.

2. The archviles make it impossible to get 100% kills but I already discusses this above :P

Overall Rating 4/5

Keep on maping, I like the way you took advantage of the ZDoom ACS and Slopes and the notable 3D bridge, and I would like to see more maps like this from you :P

Note: I played this on low difficulty for the purpose of speed.

Being someone who's lost a lot of friends to holes, I empathized with the plot-plight of the marines instantly. Slopes were nice to see even if the texture alignment kept them from being of high quality. The overall level layout and pacing was really good. I had that oh-shit! moment with the Arch-viles too. Loved the screen shaking and map ending, even the billboard sign. 4.5 /5

You should have used 3D middle textures on the handrails in the sector around 900, 400. That way you can pass below the bridge or jump over the hedge, but they still have collision.

They're certainly serviceable tunes. :) Some sections of D_RUNNIN (for lack of an actual song title) sounded like they would fit well in Heretic with just a few tweaks. Maybe it could have had bolder variations? Anyway, it was nice enough and fitted well the surreal ambiance at the beginning. Not much else to say.

STRAIGHT (to Hell I suppose?) was quite cool too, it sounded like it was out of a classic megawad. Like, if you told me it was from MM2 or Requiem, I wouldn't have doubted it.

It doesn't seem to have worked. I don't see it in /newstuff or /incoming.

I see this in the REJECTS file:


Try again, but using a zip instead of a rar.

Very short, but very good. Expanding on this, may prove to be quite a good level-set, if you were so inclined.

Is this your first map? Judging by the quality of this map, I would say, certainly not, but you kind of sound like it is.

Either way it's good, and if it's your first, then I would say that you should definitely keep wadding, because you could prove to be one of the best mappers of the future.
