CHORD3.WAD

What was gnashing teeth and brutal opposition to me ~5-6 years ago is now moderately relaxing meditations on confined spaces, making every shell count, and trusting your ability to punch things. The work stays the same, but the player's perspective changes, and sometimes that can be a beautiful transition.

great

He must have loved the doom monsters. No easy kills here. 5/5

Sweet.

Nice. 5/5

Great visuals and just enough ammo and health for very hard gameplay.

GREAT MAP!!

Very good, and very damn hard, the chord series has never been so much in tune before. But unfourtunatly Malcolm, Your G string broke. -P.C-

Pretty damn hard on HMP. Insanely difficult on UV. Aside from that, the level looks pretty fucking sweet. 4/5

Hell, would it kill you to give me a little ammo? 4/5

Good work, map was hard (at least in UV), died quite a bit (until I beat it). Very Hellish. 4.5/5

This is an entertaining and famously difficult level from 2000. It's a compact hell-themed test chamber, very hard on UV in a way that is just on the right side of being unfair; the brief cyberdemon fight feels like a rest break. Against it, there's a "pattern" that you pretty much have to memorise, and the archvile / chaingun trap at the end basically relies on you being lucky the first time. Still, it's a classic of its type.

Incredible design in all aspects, just look at the lighting effects - all done in software only. Pitilessly hard, Malcolm knows all the tricks good players use to decrease Doom's difficulty and pulls them away from you. Beat this without a save key on UV :)

Damn this map was fucking hard! Took me good over 10-15 tries to get past some parts. First I start map badly with getting turned into a chicken and then had to ran away from monsters but I survived with like 4 HP until I turned back into normal. Second there wasn't enough ammo until later and took me a lot of tries to get past a general (cyberdemon class) that shoot rockets at me but he dropped rocket launchers and a titan armor. Then the end was not a problem. Played with AEOD V5 at HMP diff. 3*
