Other WADS : SYMOHOME - my house with ALL NEW TEXTURES! It
really looks like that! Good for deathmatch.
Hidden cybo on U-V.
SYMOISM - Incredible Shrinking Marine. Go between
2 sizes in the same place. Paradoxical! Cool! Very Large
(but you can still save!) and detailed. My best I think.
SYMOWOLF (WOLFIEN.ZIP) - Wolfensteiny level. Big Hitler
at end. Rocket tennis. Massive hidden maze. Telefrag-a-cybo.
SYMOSHR - What my shrine would look like. New
gfx! (not touched up ones). Cool puzzles. Things hanging
from the roof! Hexen-like smashing glass! Rope bridge!
No cybo!
coming soon ¯¯ SYMOCAVE - part 4."Caivs'n'tunnelz". Lots of walls
to shoot (see symoshr).
SYMOVOX - at last I've bought a P120 with a sound card
in. Hear some of my bloody stupid sampling.
SYMOCORE - This one's gonner be the best yet I reckon.
SYMOLUMP - a collection of bastardly 'levelettes'

By Darman Macray · PostedThese levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.
By Walter confetti · PostedA really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.
By Fireseth · PostedOnly six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay. EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.
By CravenCoyote · PostedLots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches. Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.
By costadevale · PostedIt's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
