Story : This time you have to explore an old abandoned
UAC Base, which is reported invaded by aliens,
who exploited the technologies and teleports
present in it. Since sending a UAC army could
alarm our enemy, UAC decided to send only his
best trooper, to exploit the surprising effect!
We know that near the Entryway of the old base
there is a warehouse full of dynamite; gain
the access to that area and explode the barrels
of dynamite, so that our old base is destroyed;
but be quick or you will be involved in the
explosion.
We also know that the monsters produced some
new powerful weapons: a flamethrower and a
more powerful chaingun than ours!
Prepare your weapons and get ready!!
Description : At the beginning, when I started working on
this level, I thought to create a "small"
level, where I would have focused my attention
more on gameplay and difficulty than on
graphics, architecture and detail, as I usually
do in my levels. But as I went on working on my
level, I focused my attention more and more on
graphics, without disregarding gameplay and
difficulty. So expect for a good-looking level
and also for a nice and fast-paced challenge!
The level isn't to difficult, but the last areas
and challenges are very hard... you are warned!
The two new fast weapons make the level more
fast-paced, just because of their high
fire-rate.
As I did in its prequel, I inserted the starts
for 3 players and I tried to create a level
suited for the cooperative mode... and I think
that this map is really nice to play it with
the cooperative mode (though I couldn't test
it!). Weapons, ammo, health (and also monsters)
are balanced and suited for a cooperative game!
The .WAD doesn't contain any ZDoom effects and
it should work with vanilla Doom 2; but I tested
my level only with ZDoom (2.0 beta 38). If you
find home-effects or if visplane errors occur,
just try to play the level with a good source-
port (I suggest ZDoom: it's the best!).
What's new (ver. 2.0) : Fixed a problem with the lower textures in the
four "old" teleports.
Additional Credits to : Id Software, for making Doom;
Markus Heikinipalo, for the new Chaingun;
Scuba Steve, for the Flamethrower and the new
pistol (the Beretta 9mm);
