WARHOUSE.WAD

Very challenging map, with lots of really difficult dark areas. You need to visit every place to reach your goal. Both keys require a bit of secret observation to be obtained.

As good a challenge as you can reasonably expect from a very early map which features almost exclusively 'lower tier' enemies. Armour and health are not superabundant, and you might also need to make use of the chainsaw at some points if you're not prudent in your ammo management. 

 

By the way, à propos the comments on the blue key - to lower it you need to use three switches, which are revealed sequentially and are not hidden, and you can get out again from behind the blue door area (even without the key), you just have to be a bit patient....

 

Actually, I think this is worth a good 3.5+ out of 5 for its era.

There are a ton of monsters, this is *almost* able to be called the first slaughtermap. Every room is choc full, the glitches bring this down to a 3/5.

Awesome

This is one of the earliest levels in the database, and is also on the "Maximum Doom" CD, which is why I remember it. It's quite good for such an early level, with several hundred monsters and lots of action. It's based around four large warhouse rooms with a cross-shaped lift in the middle. The big early problem is the red key; you have to shoot a wall, but it's not at all obvious. Nice/nasty surprise near the exit.

Instant classic.

vintage fun map...:)

Everybody complains about red key (which I found thanks to my shotgun) but I couldn't access blue key (which apparently can be accessed by using random crate and then finding hidden switch). Ending is a bit boring but other than that it's pretty fun.

I remember playing in 1995, and being a little annoyed by it. The red key is a bitch to find (behind unmarked wall you have to shoot). The rest is okay but it's fucking dark you fight some bitches you can't see high up crates popping caps in yo ass. Then you have to find some switches to lower blue key. ***

A really well put together map with ambushes and nasty enemy placement. A word of warning though, do NOT ever approach the blue door exit unless you have the blue key or you will get trapped. Very enjoyable even now almost 17 years after this was made, this really stands the test of time. The warehouse is literally sprawling with imps and zombies, and just when I thought the map was over the exit was actually a lift that went down to an underground area with acid! Overall brilliant!! 4/5

Aside from an annoying secret to obtain the red key, this map wasn't bad at all! I had a lot of fun with it. Recommended.
