A Demo Pack Revolution

Those demos are just remarkable!!!
My Hearty thanks to all the guys that made them!!!!!!
What a great mapset ;)

Very cool wad and demos. Don't pay any attention to the shitty newstuff review it got.

OMG, Vile got listed as 'others'!
hehe
but seriously, great demos by some of the best players.
We missed your demo input, Erik.

Just had a look at Revolution, wow! I haven't checked out all levels yet, but my impression from what I've seen is that it's one of the best WADs I've played since Alien Vendetta. Visuals aren't always great but the level design is professional and the gameplay is really good.

Hehe, doesn't bother me in the least Doug. :)

Enjoy the demos!

Favorite map in TVR! - map21 -Hausterium. :)

How many max demos are you aware of that use rocket-jumps? I couldn't think of any myself.

Does Vile's pl17-147.lmp count? OK, the main reason for the rocket "jump" at the end is to suicide, but the force of the blast is also necessary to reach the exit.

I expect some old E3M6 max'es will also have an RJ in, since the intended route to get into the box with the secret exit switch in it is to rocketjump into it from the ledge above. We no longer do this, of course. :)

And no strafe running?

It's some of the best Doom2-style mapping i've ever seen.

Only the two first maps are bad.

If it had a new soundtrack it would be perfect.

Truly, that made me look at some old demos, the first maxes on this map were keyboard demos even. The rocket jump lasted till '99.

tvr is a really nice wad... :)

If you mean that you're having problems downloading the wad from its homepage, then try ftp://3darchives.in-span.net/pub/idgames/newstuff/tvr.zip.

They're not bad, but those rain sprites DO suck though. :P

Download it here as an alternative...

Heh. If you use the "Preview reply" feature, you can always see if someone has beaten you to it before you post. Anyway, your post will be more useful than mine once the wad has left newstuff.

Looks like Revolution! is turning into a hype. :-)

It has taken nearly a year and a half, but it has indeed become an overnight success. :)

i'm never going to post any news related to this wad.

Is this the wad from the newstuff flamewar?

Yes it is.

Well, I guess it's a lesson to all reviewers to actually play the wads they review. If it weren't for the fact that this map had already achieved some level of notoriety from being on Metabolist's site it would probably just be forgotten.

But now it made Linguica look extremely stupid. Too bad, for his other reviews were kinda good.

Just a question, but, how come there hasn't been any news posted since Wednesday? Did the news crew go on vacation en masse?
I know I've submitted a couple of news items and without response.

I haven't received any news from you.

Ok - thats weird - maybe there was a problem with the mail delivery system or something. Anyway - I'll submit the news to you again and see what happens. :-)
Thanks for the reply. That really is weird.

So anyway - just out of curiosity. Did you get the email I sent you?
