Guess the Map! (22nd Edition, the final hurrah?)

[NuMetalManiak]

Previous threads start here:

 

(this game show has been logoless for a while and I can't think of a good logo sorry)

 

Welcome to once again another installment of Guess the Map! Once again, it's about guessing maps from automap screenshots! Again, only 20 are provided since the selection of WADs is continuing to wane. This current selection has no theme, but each successive entry here will get slightly harder in difficulty. Also I did try my best to remove teleport closets whenever I could. Important notes:

 

- Answers MUST be hidden in spoilers, no exceptions. If you don't use the spoiler option, your guesses won't count.

- You may resort to the search bar, web pages, or whatever assistance in case you're not 100% sure of the wad and/or slot but feel like you've seen the map before.

- September 4th: new hints added

- September 10th: answers are given.

 

01.

Spoiler

One could say that a core school subject got really freakin' pissed when talking about this level's alternate title.

This is actually an episode ender (not counting the outro map), despite being from a Doom II wad

 

02.

Spoiler

Only stock textures, just a humongous map of good Doom action.

You can either tackle this entire level which will take more than two hours to complete at minimum, or in smaller parts in separate maps.

 

03.

Spoiler

A very well-designed techbase single level.

Won a Cacoward long ago, but its sequel which had multiple maps didn't.

 

04.

Spoiler

Ghosts love to haunt this place, and the dreary rain just adds to the atmosphere.

The plus section on the west side has crushers, a key, and three switches needed to get to the north end.

 

05.

Spoiler

Title map of something mauve.

SE section is segmented well for difficult combat

 

06.

Spoiler

The outer areas help add to this level's overall depth.

Yet you don't actually explore those areas at all, they're just scenery. You're more "confined" to the inner square so to speak.

 

07.

Spoiler

While other maps in the set this is in are very vibrant in color, this one seems to be straight-up Hell.

There's a number of interesting portals and warps here, plus a super secret section meant to be like a deathmatch arena where you destroy several marines.

 

08.

Spoiler

An enhanced version of a level previously designed by Tom Hall

No it's not Containment Area, obviously, but there's some transports here and there which is an indicator of the name

 

09.

Spoiler

A sprawling outdoors Zdoom level with a few custom monsters and an inner chamber to enter.

Inspired by a game that has to do with exploring a lush jungle and mountains and such.

 

10.

Spoiler

A golden oldie of a level with a few Doomcute sections

There's gallows and a chapel, and of course tons of monsters to deal with.

 

11.

Spoiler

If the music stops in the map, the area you're entering in is extremely dangerous and being blown off will result in death.

And it's easy to get blown off. This map inspired by something chilly has icy sectors and combat centered around those, plus some platforming to get to the south side.

 

12.

Spoiler

Hellish arena level with nonstop action indicative of the wad's name

Those squares around the arena are places where you can telefrag cyberdemons.

 

13.

Spoiler

You go to this same level several times already but now it has expanded and these monsters just doing more damage to the poor base.

The cave system and valley which make up more than 3/4 of the level aren't a part of the base though. The teleporters in the base no longer work.

 

14.

Spoiler

Penultimate level of a set which seems to be a culmination of all sorts of styles, though with a lot of Evilution-like segments.

SE side has some System Control vibes, NE side has a Last Call teleporter maze to be exact.

 

15.

Spoiler

Well, it's supposed to be a small slaughter level...

It's the biggest level of this set though, certainly, with a vibrant color scheme.

 

16.

Spoiler

Simplistic design, almost as if it were perhaps dead...simple, in a way.

Mancubi and arachnotrons are the only enemies here, but it's not a MAP07. Actually it's in the latter third of the set.

 

17.

Spoiler

Ah yes, going back to the old Windows stuff. I mean we're playing a game that was meant for this kind of operating system so...

Using the start bars and working on the warps can be daunting, especially with a number of traps here and there.

 

18.

Spoiler

Single map made in 1995 by a deceased author

The only map in this set that's not actually a Doom map.

 

19.

Spoiler

The shortest of three particular maps with a light bluish flair

You can easily tell by the design that this is all segmented setpieces of some kind.

 

20.

Spoiler

A recently wrung out megawad has this as a secret level of sorts.

Despite being inspired by a well-known wad where the overall scale is short, this one is quite large in scale, possibly the largest in the entire megawad.

2 is Holy Hell

Shouldn't the hint for #2 say "no custom textures"? (Don't count this as me figuring out the map, I just read Captain POLAND's answer)

19. Magnolia MAP02 - Prowling fowl, by Ribbiks.

 

[NuMetalManiak]

New hints are done. And yes I completely brain-gooped and realized that one of these was already done before in a previous edition and that shows we're really running out of maps to think about!

[Shepardus]

Spoiler

1. BTSX E2 MAP26

2. Holy Hell

 

 

[galileo31dos01]

Spoiler

02. Holy Hell (MAP05)

11. Super MAYhem 17, MAP12 (played on coop, watched in streams)

16. Dimensions of Time, MAP22 (coincidentally what I'm playing currently)

20. Plutonia Revisited 2, MAP32 (?) ... it's not a wild guess, if it really is the correct wad then I think it matches with what I saw in a stream, but afaik there are multiple big maps in it so, idk

 

I believe 06 is from whichever Claustrophobia 1024 wad since it's not in Congestion which is the one I played some years ago, and 15 is perhaps from Micro Slaughter -- looking at the layout, my gut says it's Bridgeburner's map.......... * curiously opens doomwiki * .......... oh it is lmao, mark that answer!

 

Additional last minute guesses:

 

10. ohhh, I know this, hold up... yes! that is called "Slaughter Until Death" and it's E2M7, I do remember practically everything including gallows I think located towards the southern metallic hallways, but no memories from a chapel, weird

 

redeemed myself

This will probably be the final time I'll host a Guess the Map by the way. I got plenty of work commitments this month going into October and I barely have enough time to do things, plus usual burnout. And yes, I didn't remember that Recant was already done in a previous edition and it shows we're running out of maps to guess out of all of these, so this seems like a good time to end it. At least for me. Anyone wishing to host one of these Guess the Map editions can do one! Ask me or @galileo31dos01 on how we do it and maybe we'll get back to you if we have the time.

[NaZa]

Guess the Map has been a very fun thing, to try to recognize them and see how well you can visualize layouts. Not a minigame I expected to see, a very unique concept. I hope to see it return. Thank you for your tenure as the host of this, it's been a blast and especially satisfying when you can recognize more than usually.

 

On that note... wtf me? Have played both Dimensions of Time and MAYhem 17 relatively recently :/ yet I failed to recognize em...

[Captain POLAND]

I could try hosting one... I know a lot of really obscure maps.

[galileo31dos01]

@Captain POLAND If you have something in mind and want to take the flag, by all means go ahead! Any questions you have, you can ask me since I'll be around.

Ahh got mixed up with the BTSX Hub maps, which had three of them.
