Flay the Obscene - Reversed

About This File

This map is a revamp of the original Flay the Obscene, which was released in 1999. As a 15 year anniversary celebration of the map -which was the first big noticeable release from me- I have decided to dust it off and dress it up.

I could have called it "Flay the Obscene 4", since I considder it to be a fourth entry in the series, as it plays, and looks, quite different from the original one. This is mostly because it is played backwards, but also because there are new areas added to it, and a ton of updates in both terms of gameplay and architecture! But I have left out the "4" from the title but kept it in the filename as I want to emphasize the fact, that it is "simply" the first entry, which has been reversed. But why even considder the "4" then? Because, I think I want to create a fifth entry that sees the player tackle his homeworld, which has been... erhm, on second thought, we'd better leave that part out ;)

Since the map has been reversed, you will probably find the old start area of the map, which is now the end, somewhat cramped. There was a challenge to make that interesting, so instead of having the level end with an empty intro level - which has btw been merged into the main level - you will get to fight in that one too in order to give the entire level an interesting end. Confusing I know, so don't spend too long thinking about it. Just go and kick some ass and have some fun! :)

PS: !Minor spoiler! I guess you can avoid the final fight and just head for the exit. But can you really live with the shame of being a coward?

beautiful but really damn hard especially the battle with the cyberdemon also had to clip to get to the second part of the map which is where the cyberdemon is I saw where the door had opened but couldn't get to it and since jumping had been disabled I wasn't able to jump over there. Overall this was fun though

Ignore the other comment saying that this is a Terrywad cause it aint, its a good and fun level, with fitting music, play in UV if you like a challenge, 4/5 -Archy-

Fantastic level by Chris Hansen, a master of old-school mapping. Great detail and texture usage without being obstructive or hindering gameplay, good re-use of space, good flow, great battles and traps, and a lot of original ideas put to good use here. If you like high-quality DOOM pwads, you'll want to check this one out. 5 stars!

The problem is with Brutal Doom, not the map. Don't give the map a bad rating because you used a mod that cocks up the gameplay. In any event, it's a Chris Hansen map and it's based on a Doomworld Top 100 wad he did so this is legendary, mint quality stuff. Download it now.

Actually Flay The Obscene DID NOT get in the top 100 (/10years) as he wasn't as careful with the overall balance in the original Flay maps, despite plenty of great architecture. OTOH this is definitely the best Flay map he made even if it isn't entirely new and not quite as extensive as Flay 3 was. I think he's become a bit more consistent with gameplay since the original Flay maps (some of his older stuff like CH Retro DOES play very well, but others are iffy).

Impressive design and gameplay fits together really well here. Tenseful and atmospheric at parts, but flowing like the Doom we like, and appropriately challenging for an enjoyable game. That's why I give 5 stars.

      These 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.

      A 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.

      Only 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.

      Lots 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.

      It'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.
