Released Map : Forgotten Place

Hey all, I've just finished a new map. This one is pretty different from my older ones, which were mostly symmetrical. It requires zDoom.

OMG a screenshot! http://rydia.net/udder/!crap/fPlace01.jpg

Screenshot seems dark. Downloading to play later.

Loving the filesize on my 56K.

The layout is k and there's some nice connectivity, but the gameplay is crap with the limited ammo/health and weaponry and uninspired monster placement.

Tedious and boring.

Ok, I can understand 'uninspired monster placement' .. I was going for more of a monster overload thing. I know my previous maps are more focused on specific encounters, this one really isn't. In fact, I had alot more people complain about the trap encounters in my previous maps. I noticed you liked Reversi, and this is pretty much the opposite of that.

But limited health/ammo/weapons? You get everything except the chainsaw (You get bezerk instead)/plasma/BFG, and it's easily beatble with plenty of ammo left over. I was actually considering putting in less health/ammo! :P

I know I probably could've conserved shells with ZDoom's easy tysoning, in the end I had to tyson the cyber :P

Dunno if it's intended or not, but you could mention something in the textfile that would encourage making use of the berserk fist more often.

Edit: Oh, and there were quite a few places where I could hit switches through the floor/bars/railings.

Edit2: Fisting those demon/spectre packs did make enough of a difference ammo-wise, but still, for a map of this size to take 37 minutes to beat is way too long IMO.

You mean people actually read those things? Kidding aside, there's not much I could do to encourage it's use. Like what happened to you, if you don't punch now, you'll end up punching later.

I went back and tested the map again, and there was one place I found I could do that. Could you tell me where you found them by PM maybe?

Linedefs: 3110 from below, 3517 through the bars, 3830 from below.

Allright, I've released a new version of it, with those switch bugs fixed, took out a few monsters and added the plasma gun in there. Also removed one area early in the map.
