Description : Slaughter map, apparantly. That's what they
call these kinds of maps, right? Man, it's been
years since I last dabbled in any doom editing.
Anyway, I tried to put in the extra bit of effort
to differentiate this from your average slaughter
map, but this is a bit of a new concept for me,
so I'm not completely sure how it'll turn out. I
wanted to try out a few neat ideas I had with
this, so be sure and let me know what you think!
Gameplay Information : One important thing to note: About mid-way
through you are required to use a Chainsaw to
"chop down" a set of tall pillars to continue. I
wasn't sure of a good way to make this function
more obvious than the way I did it, so just keep
that in mind. Be sure to "chop down" the pillar
with the invincility spheres, first, to make your
life a lot easier for the remaining pillars.
Note also that the enemy spawns run on a fixed
schedule, so you must kill off enemy forces as
quickly as possible (but not recklessly!) or
you'll likely get swamped. You'll probably need
a bit of planning to get through this, but it is
doable!
Story : With the cleansing of the terrible demon presence
on Earth, hope for humanity's survival is
rekindled. However, the war is not won yet. It
appears a final UAC Gateway is still active and
is brewing hell's largest invasion force yet!
You must hold off this invasion long enough
for the last remaining UAC scientist survivors
to hack into the Gateway system and disable the
link between this world and the next once and for
all!
Humanity's final hope for survival now rests on
your shoulders!

Running this level:
I've only tested it on PRBoom and Zdoom thus far, but it should run on any
boom-compatible engine that supports voodoo dolls.
