The Hive

Another rejected map from Master Levels by Chris Klie, follow thematically the previous level I reviewed, but this time the map remember more a mix between suburbs (or any Petersen style city map) and the chasm, due to the tiny ledges that are taken to pass in the second half of the level, it's also similar to another Master Levels entry, probably one of the reasons why this wasn't accepted... Difficulty is similar to the early maps in plutonia and gameplay is pretty challenging and fun for a play or two. Take it a shot.

its ok. 3 stars.

This is from August 1995. It's okay, although very modest and simple; it's a success in the sense that it feels like an original Doom II level, or at least part of an original Doom II level (it's very short). By modern standards it's marred by an irritating emphasis on tricky narrow catwalks - ugly, blocky catwalks - and you get more health and ammo than you need. The final battle is a bit of a flop, too, with an almost totally undetailed "boss lair".

cool

I liked playing it. 4/5

Ugh. That was an awful level. I'm glad it was cut from the Master Levels. 1/5

Its not a bad level, really. Its pretty decent and a fun ride while it lasts. :D 3/5.-Candle M

This deserves 3 stars, well done!

Good map. Better than most produced nowadays, and it would have been a worthy inclusion in the Master Levels (better than some of Klie's that were included, IMO). Not obvious why it wasn't included really - there was nothing fundamentally limiting the project to a certain number of maps.

This is an awful map. ^^"Better than most produced nowadays" what an idiot that guy is. 0/5

I somehow liked this one. Still running around on platforms but it expands and has something.. 4/5 - Optimus

a few good moments are not enough 2/5

yuck

This and Device One were my favorite of his Master Level rejects. ~vf
