40oz Posted November 9, 2015 Swift Death, an extremely difficult Boom-compatible 32-level megawad created by French Doomer FranckFRAG (plus some guest maps by JCD and Memfis), has now reached its final edition. The purpose of the megawad is to challenge the speedrunning community to complete the maps as quickly as possible and provide the community with more exciting demos. However, it does have difficulty settings implemented for practice and recreational play, and Deathmatch and Cooperative Starts for multiplayer modes. (The text file suggests "Survival Cooperative" for ZDaemon and Zandronum.) As different versions of the same wad can be a real hassle for the community, the final version of Swift Death states that speedrunners can now go forth, compete, and dominate maps of this megawad without the risk of a new version obsoleting their demos, so we can expect a whirlwind of new runs for this exciting new Doom experience! 0 Share this post Link to post

Azuruish Posted November 9, 2015 Request? Hmmm... ummm... thuhhh.. Welll... I'm not interested even add this wad in my TAS list. No cool design, No big amount of monsters. Create new thread in Doom Speed Demos about this wad... 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted November 9, 2015 Aww, I would love to see a TAS movie by you Azuruish! I think there are many tricks in the maps. 0 Share this post Link to post
AD_79 Posted November 9, 2015 Azuruish said:No cool design, No big amount of monsters. -I'd argue the design is very nice. -Relative to the size of the maps, there are a lot of monsters! It's good to see this get finalized, by the way. 0 Share this post Link to post
Azuruish Posted November 10, 2015 Maybe i something missed and suddenly compared this was with 'Killing Adventure'? Ok... I'll think about it. 0 Share this post Link to post
franckFRAG Posted November 11, 2015 Hey! I'm really happy to see so much interest on my megawad :) However , I ask you to use this version : http://www.mediafire.com/download/0k56llz5cteq6ul/swideath.zip Some errors were noticed on MAP04, MAP09, and MAP31 (It comes to forget of tags, or thing flags). I don't think that demos are desynchronized. Ok now, this is the good and solid version of Swift Death :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Billy Baron Posted November 14, 2015 Wow, this wad sure does 'come out swinging'. Even 'Toilet break' is kind of tough. And, look, French designed wad is followed immediately by the tragedy in Paris! What a weird twist of events. C'est triste! the wad, not the attacks.... 0 Share this post Link to post

DeathevokatioN Posted November 19, 2015 Would be cool if megawads could be 'top stories' for a while, but then again the really good ones get immortalized by cacowards, so I dunno. 0 Share this post Link to post
