I literally laughed out loud at this one

I'd like to contribute to this project. I've never actually released a map before, but I have gotten pretty good at using Doombuilder.

Hope you all don't mind me playing catch-up. I didn't have much time to play this weekend. MAP03: Well, this was a pretty standard facility-type area (which I suppose is why they call it "The Oasis Facility"). Difficulty is a bit lower than the previous map, although I still died once to that archvile because I got stuck on a box and couldn't hide from him in time. Embarrassing. The outdoor area looked quite nice, but the indoor portions were less impressive visually. MAP04: This is a nice-looking level! I especially like the path to the gate at the beginning of the level. Two things I didn't like about the gameplay: 1) the annoying chaingunners that hide behind parapets until you think you've killed them all, then when your back is turned they unload on you, and 2) that yellow key trap! Just on the edge of being TOO devious for me. Ah well, it's still a fine map.

I think I'll join the Jenesis Club. :) I just made my way through the first two maps and here's what I think: MAP01: I played this map yesterday on HMP and it was much more difficult than I expected, especially for the first map in a megawad. Today I tried it on UV and finished the level with 100% health (and I found all the secrets too!), though I had to play pretty cautiously. I like the visuals in the indoor areas, and the helipad is kinda cool, I guess. MAP02: Tried to do this one on UV from a pistol-only start, but it was just too much for me! I had to go back to my quicksave at the end of map01. Even with the weapons and armor, I struggled in places. I died a couple of times at the blue key trap. I definitely need more practice at dodging revenant missiles! Another good-looking and well-paced level. I'm quite impressed with this megawad so far. I might go back to it later to figure out how to get that soulsphere!

Definitely Doom 2, though I also enjoy playing through E2 of Doom 1 semi-regularly.
