Description : =OVERVIEW=
A large techbase map that I made a while ago but for some reason haven't been bothered to put the finishing touches on and upload until just now. Starts out pretty easy, becomes difficult later on. Most of the level is spent looking for the main switch which will gain you access to the front gate control on the compound wall (don't worry, you'll know the main switch when you see it) and then the final battle takes you from the main switch back to the front gate. I'm looking at this level now and wishing I'd made the architecture a little less square-ey, but as it is it's a decent map and I put a lot of effor into it so it should work well.
=UNNECESSARY STORY=
After Hell's first invasion of the Earth was
thwarted, the great demon lord which had
commanded the infernal armies left vast tracts of
Hell destroyed in its death throes. UAC, seeing
Hell's power weakened, seized the opportunity
and began establishing military outposts and
research compounds across Hell, with the
intention of controlling and ideally
exploiting the monsters they had battled. Even
as they publicly announced the end of their
tampering with the forces of evil, UAC was
sending hundreds of thousands of Marines and
research personnel to Hell, assuming that they
would now be able to keep the remaining demons
under their heel.
Needless to say, this was a grave
miscalculation.
The UAC had far underestimated Hell's ability
to rebuild, and within weeks hordes of demons
were at the gates of the UAC's compounds. The
defense forces were overwhelmed, and before long
the bases were staffed only by savage monsters,
walking dead, and endless piles of corpses.
You, a lowly corporal in the Space Marines, had been
based at a strategic and well-defended outpost on the
edge of what was only weeks ago a valley of
rubble but what is now a thriving demon city.
The UAC had erected the compound fast, but
unfortunately the demons were faster, and after
valiant but hopeless resistance the monsters had
overrun the base. You are now the only living
human in the entire compound, and probably in all of
Hell. With the researchers dead, your comrades
twisted into mindless monsters and UAC's plan
generally in the toilet, there is only one thing
you can do: get out of the base and find a way
back to Earth alive. Your chances of making it
out are slim, but then again you wouldn't be the
first person to escape from Hell. With this in
mind, you set out, with nothing but your pea
shooter, a few dozen rounds of ammo and your iron
will to live...

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.
