Misc. Author Info : -
Description : Welcome to HyperSpeed - A brand new megawad for
doom 2, where each level is a remake of the
corresponding vanilla level, except with a simple
new twist - the exit door permanently closes after
30 seconds. If you didn't reach it in time - tough
luck, try again.
Due to the harsh time limit, all the levels are
extremely compact with a large focus on
speedrunning, demanding good movement if you want
to beat the wad on higher difficulties (no shame in
lowering it, though), and occasionally requiring
executing proper speedrun strats like grabs or
SR50.
The megawad includes the full 32 maps, and also 3
extra ones - MAP33 is the one used for the title
screen, MAP34 is an earlier version of MAP21 that
was scrapped due to low quality, and MAP35 - an
earlier version of MAP24 with a radically different
ending. This wad also includes a number of QoL
features, designed to make speedrunning easier,
such as:
A palette overhaul, designed to make it easier to
see when taking damage, invulnerable, picking up an
item or protected by a rad suit;
A new plasma rifle sound that is much quieter -
important because you'll be using the thing a lot.
