Description :-)
It seems people don't like writing long COMPET-N text files. However I do.
So if you don't want to read it, don't, but otherwise, I'll bore you to
hell!
I'll split this text file to comments about the different aspects of this
entry as it is quite an unusual one.
Comments about me
-----------------
It seems I disappeared a bit from COMPET-N... I was focused on The Final
DooM and Quake, sorry... Anyway I felt it's time to do this entry and that
I did.
This is my first try so the demo is very imperfect - I don't know the
route too good and I do stupid stuff etc.. Also near the beginning two
friends came, that's the pause though I ran unpause on this lmp to remove
most of it. It's not even near a second so I hope it doesn't disqualify
this entry.
Anyway they also disturbed me in some other parts resulting in stupid
mistakes.
Comments about the level
------------------------
This is an awesome level, definitely my favorite in Doom2 maybe with 2 or
3 more levels. It is built really great, full of action, lots of fun and
even a fun challenge. So it's not completely by chance that I picked this
level.
Comments about the route
------------------------
Ok, this is the main thing. I would have never beaten Daniel's excellent
entry lv29-651 with this pathetic lmp that's a 1st try without this huge
route improvement. What is it? you ask. Well, I use Jonathan Hoof's
cyberdeath method to save about a minute from the lmp by not killing the
cyberdemon and killing the same sergeant three times instead. Before you
start calling me "chicken" etc., note that in dm2full.zip, my DooM 2 lmp
collection, I killed the cyberdemon the way real men do it, on the
platform, no skipping, no tricks, no nothing. This route is just to save
time and plasma.
Since this route is like pressing switches from below etc., and since
levels like e2m2 have two entries - one for the normal route and one for
switch-tricks, I would suggest that Daniel's entry of 6:51 will still
remain 1st and this one will be counted as an alternative route, since
frankly I don't think this one is better than lv29-651.
If you still think I'm a chicken, watch my lv29 lmp from dm2full.
Comments about the lmp
----------------------
It is not a good lmp. I don't deny it. It's the first time I played DooM
today and there are some serious screwups, also the health goes up and
down very quickly, which can be amusing by itself... naah.
Anyway go ahead and do better than that. You won't find it difficult.
Special thanks
