Comments : Overall, I thought DOOM I Grand Master (E3M7)
prepared me rather well for this one. After
much thought, I decided to add Map09 to the
base. It definitely belongs in the MEDIUM
set. I also added Map24 to the base. It's
a MEDIUM.
Map03: The first time I played DOOM ][, I got to
this level and thought that there was no
way to get through the big room with all the
Imps and Chaingunners. Good to look back
on that and laugh. Dance is right after I
kill the shotgun guys through the window at
the beginning; otherwise, they wake up and
blow you away.
Map30: At first, I couldn't believe that this was
only a medium level. But then I tried it a
few times, and realized that its not much
more difficult than normal monsters. Dance
is right at the beginning.
Map29: I couldn't believe that I'd 'lucked out'
enough to get the last 2 levels of DOOM ][.
Set to work on it, and in 3-4 days had this
demo. Just took alot of 3 a.m. playing
sessions, complete with all the
characteristics of an all-nighter: Plenty of
pop, candy, cookies, and Advil. Do my dance
right at the beginning.
Map09: When I went looking into the current base,
there were only 3 levels left: Map09, 23,
and 24. I have -never- beaten Map23 on UV,
let alone with -fast. (No patience) So, I
tried Map09, and then thought I'd add
Map24 with my FREE. This one should be
EASY, but you -do- have to think a -little-.
(As in, Don't kill all the Lost Souls 'til
you've knocked out most of the PE's)
Map24: I did this one (as a substitution) for my
D2M. -Fast is not much harder. I rated it
MEDIUM because it's harder than Map03 but
not -too- difficult. About the only hard
part is the driving. (Shaddup, I didn't fall
off -that- much!)
Author info : DOOM obsessed student who has trouble doing any
real work. Once all the files get processed, I'll
be a D1M, D2M, D1SG, D2SG, D1GM, and D2GM. I'm
currently working on D1T, D2T, D1I, and D2I, should
be done soon. And, yes, in a fit of insanity, I
ordered a D2S challenge, but it will probably lay
dormant for all eternity. I've created several
levels of my own, all of which are quite a
challenge on single player, and -very- fun on DM.
They can be found in a group called DOOM3.ZIP. I'm
also working on a series of demos of both DOOM I
and ][ on Fast monsters, starting from "warp
conditions." I just got tired of watching other
people's 'normal' demos, so I thought I'd put my
money where my mouth is and make my own. They're
called U-WIMPS.ZIP.
