About This File

One map, fully compatible with DooM2.exe, while including as much detail as possible. This map is different from most other maps in that the player progresses differently through the map depending on the skill level. Each skill level "starts" the map at a different location, and some of the traps are skill-level specific. Additionally, the keys and weapons are at different locations for the different skill levels, and there are some areas that are only accessible to specific skill levels. I encourage you to play the map at each of the 3 skill level groups -- 1/2, 3, and 4/5. Note, that while skill levels are incorporated, Skills 1/2 are definitely not for the faint of heart -- in most other maps they would probably play out at Skill 3. Skill 3 is slightly more difficult than Skills 1/2, and Skills 4/5 is slightly more difficult than Skill 3, but none of the skill levels is terribly difficult.

This is probably the most perfectly ammo balanced map ever on HMP. Pretty damn good.

I disliked lone barons in big rooms and the very idea of "minibosses". But "3 different maps depending on skill level" concept was well executed here and I adore the layout: it is so easy for me to get confused despite having played this many times. A huge map. Modern looking techbase, very nice.

Whoever reviewed this in newstuff doesn't know how to review - this map IS NOT too dark and IS NOT underdetailed. One of the best single maps in a long time.

Some parts of this level we're way too dark and the gameplay was pretty frustrating: too many small, oddly connected and shaped rooms thrown together in a haphazard manner. Nice visuals, though. 3/5

This is dated February 2005. You fight 312 baddies in a classic-style level that gets off to a bad start - a mazey dark sewer - but improves considerably once you reach the techbase section, which is huge. It often feels unfinished, with wall sections that look like secrets but are just clashing textures, and I felt that I just stumbled upon the keys. But there are some nice big setpiece battles and the ammo balance is on the right side of tense.

Amazing map. Great interlinking of areas and the detailing really sets the scene without being too over the top. Using the difficulty levels to make three different routes is a stroke of genius. The gameplay is well thought out and certainly no walk in the park! Be prepared to spend over an hour including save/loads, my completion times were 50 minutes too. Easily one of the best wads I've ever played. 5/5 --jj

Very good, if you're looking for shotgun/machinegun/r l/chainsaw action only. (perhaps more powerful weapons are available in the secrets). Maybe a bit too dark in some places. Ammo/health balance is not bad. A bit too much health, ammo is more tight. It's a rather large map with in my eyes enough detail. You won't get lost here. Gameplay kept my interest, I finished this on a second run in 50 minutes. There're no nasty traps. 5/5 coldfusio

Great map, and the skill level specific progression adds to the experience. A must download!

Fun stuff! The level isn't overly detailed but it makes up for it with fun gameplay. Its a pretty easy map, though. Regardless of that, it was fun and deserves a download. 4/5

      Good map, ammo management is required somewhat, no big deal since we give you a plasma rifle, and this tiny "ammo starvation" is fairly rebalanced later on the level anyway. Some texture misalignment indeed… The theme is respected, and I like this kind of "easy but don't sleep" gameplay.

      I was expecting much worst from what I've read just bellow, but in fact the angry guy in the comment was probably just too lazy to use an obvious berserk that is easy to find if you aren't blind… I'm not a great fan of ammo starvation either, but if only you use your brain, you'll understand that there is a lot of demon piñata that you easily punch from a safe distance instead of casually shooting them in sight and waste your ammo, and it's quite fun to gib them actually ! There are some confusing moments though, but nothing crazy either… Now, there are some sweet little design and decoration that I liked. The usual short map that isn't transcendant, but that you'll finish with satisfaction.

      feels like an old school doom wad. I very much liked.

      A set that work pretty well :) Just found out that this is by the same creator of JNNHangar and stuff, and as its previous map this mapset is good while staying on basic stuff, also the layout feels a little bit less linear for the good. I still find that it is rather not enough decorated and blend sometimes, but it is ok. E1M8 was the little "challenge", fair last level ! +1 for the awersome secret level !

      This map is twenty years before its time.
