About This File

This is a compilation of the WADs entered in Doomworld's twelfth speedmapping exercise. Participants were given 100 minutes to create a Doom 2 level on a certain theme. This week's theme was to make a factory.

on the eleventh, wait what, there is no dwspd011!? uh oh, maybe it was rejected from the archives or something. so let's go ahead and see what the twelfth installment of dwspd has to offer. the theme? build a factory. it almost seems trite considering that MAP12 of Doom 2 does indeed have you in "The Factory" but let's see what we have come up with for this wad. oh, only four maps, and by playing this, the only one that's worth any time at all is the final map. the first map is a linear gauntlet run through small corridors, where you have an imp right in front of you and a shotgun in between two cacodemons, which is insanely difficult to fight there. MAP02 is fundamentally broken as far as I can tell. MAP03 is insanely lackluster. not a single one of these maps comes close to the factory theme. what saves it is MAP04. this is a map that of course is made by Fredrik, but adheres wholly to the theme while offering crates, a conveyor, a bit of outside area, and some rather tough combat which isn't abnormal considering who the author is. they should have just made this a Fredrik map only considering how shit the other three were.

Map 4 is my pick out of all these. I think the rest are not worth playing. 4/4/07

MAP01 is short and cramped. MAP02 is unplayable because of bugs. MAP03 looks like 1994 map. MAP04 is the best of these.

MAP01 welcomes you with an imp RIGHT IN YOUR FACE, and WHO the hell doesn't like to fight two cacos with just a pistol? MAP02 gives you the BFG right from the start; and it doesn't look like a factory at all, anyway, the MIDI replacement sounds good. MAP03 dangerously looks like a SLIGE map and it has a very bad item placing, however MAP04 rocks right from the start, and the BFG comes to handy at last; tricky, but entertaining map

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
