Misc. Author Info : This is the first wad I've ever released, I hope
it's at least decent.
Description : This wad is an experiment. You see, I love slaugher
maps, but unfortunately, often the only weapons
that have a place in slaughter maps are the Rocket
Launcher and BFG, and occasionally the plasma,
leaving the SSG, Shotgun, Chaingun, Pistol, Fist,
and Chainsaw totally out of the picture, and I hate
to see them all (especially the SSG) gather dust.
To my knowledge, this wad will be the first to
experiment with a concept like this, the only other
coming close being some of Doomkid's community wads
Rowdy Rudy and Ray Mohawk. However, it seems to me
that those wads didn't really lean into the
slaughter potential of the modified weapons
(Althought I haven't played too much of either of
those, I just watched the Dean of Doom episodes.)
As I said, this wad is really an experiment, and I
want to see what the community thinks of the maps
before I put years of work into creating a megawad
that nobody likes. I will likely update the wad in
the future, maybe even adding new maps (the Plasma
Rifle, BFG, and Chainsaw aren't even in any of the
maps lol) depending on the feedback I get, and also
the fact that some of the maps are slightly scuffed
right now. I calibrated the ultra violence enemies
to be "very hard but fair," though that may be just
the fact that I know exactly how the maps work, so
it could be incredibly difficult to beat on ultra
violence, I'm not sure. Some of it is very hard for
me to do. Enemies are different for lower
difficulty settings, but as with everything else,
it might not be calibrated well. Hell, even the
files are probably screwy. Some of you more
technically minded players might look at it in
SLADE and wonder how it's even running. All in all
though, I hope it works, and I hope you enjoy it.
Additionally, you can check out the bottom of this
file to see the specific changes to the weapons.
