About This File

High/Low 2 is a Doom Episode 2 themed level. Like High/Low 1, which was an episode 1 kinda level it is only meant to resemble the style, not to copy it. That is basically my general vision for this small series. The next level will resemble a Doom 2 level like Industrial Zone, Downtown, The Factory etc. For a bit more accurately themed Eps. 2 level, I suggest that you also play my "Rip it, Tear it Smash it!". Now that's good stuff! :-)

UV is by far not impossible, but it offers the good player a fair challenge.

A strong level with addictive gameplay. I already liked the first one, but this is definitely a further improvement. Two thumbs up! -TRRobin.

great stuff. If only the twits that think their 2000 monster slaughter wads would look and learn.

A very good looking map with very oldsk00lish gameplay (which is a good thing imo). However it's very easy even on UV, which drops the score a bit. 4/5

This was an absoulte killer map from start to finish, no doubts here. A typical Chris Hansen layout and was very pleasing to the eyes. Its quite hard on UV if you're not careful. Get it now. 4.5 Stars -PC

This is a great map, but does suffer from a few issues. Compatibility among ports other than ZDoom is poor, so this really should have been tested under a few different ports before release. The difficulty is also pretty low even on UV, despite what the text file says. However, it is a fun map with some decent architecture and worth playing if you like Episode 2 style maps. I do prefer High/Low 1, however. 4/5 -Reckoner

This is a great map! I becaame practically unconscious when reading the Newstuff review of this map! I mean, WTF - many bugs, difficulty complaints, average desing - the whole review is nothing but a stinking pile of BS. I hesitate to be so offensine, but I can't hurt to say anything but that THIS IS THE WORST WRITTEN, MOST STINKING, MOST CRAPPY, AND MOST ABSOLUTELY ******* AWFUL NEWSTUFF REVIEW I HAVE EVER READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Very nice oldschool style map. The E2 style is recreated very well, with a great layout and challenging gameplay. 5/5 FP

4 stars for the nostalgy feel and for flowing gameplay. The looks were also pretty good, but a little cramped in places which didn't matter so much because of the big nostalgy aspect of the level and gameplay. Enjoyed it very much! -Kristian

I have mixed feelings about this one. It has a nice layout and good connectivity, but it's also somewhat cramped and the gameplay could've been more interesting, and in many areas the texture choices seemed weird. Then there's the issue with port compatibility. 3/5 - Belial

Awesome map. How in the world did this thing get torn apart in /newstuff (and I think it was #300 at that)?! Don't even get me started on that. It's an excellent Episode 2 style map and like the person above me said, it could have fit straight into ritesmit.wad, had the level been made at that time. I think even the custom sky (which does not ruin the original feel) is the same. One of the better single-level wads for Doom I/UDoom. 5/5.

Then there's the issue with port compatibility. 3/5 - Belial. Correct ! There is none. :( Especially the rising stairs which wont work on anything except (g)zoom because the linedef to raise the stairs is not tagged ! ( line 1757 ) Even if tagged # 60, they do not rise as intended for some reason unknown to me ...

A very beautiful looking map with a great layout. Chris Hansen is a master at having everything connect together in his maps. There are no pointless dead-ends or unused sections. The game play was average, although I didn't find much of a challenge. Ammo was a bit too abundant toward the middle of the map. Overall, a very nice map that every Doomer should play at one point or another!

Clean, solid design. Fits the E2 theme well. Only real issue is UV quite easy, but the gameplay is still entertaining despite this. Very good overall.

Great map, could easily have fit right in for a third level in ritesmit. Not that it's a problem though.

This is a fantastic level, especially the nicely flowing gameplay and great lighting. I'll give it 5 stars, which I rarely do. The best map I've played this year!

This map is awesome, could have fit right in with E2 itself. Only it would be much nicer than those maps. :) 5/5

A good old style map with good difficulty. It wasn't extremely hard, in fact a tad bit easy. But still quite an entertaining play. Looks nice, despite being a little cramped. I thought it was good. 4 out of 5 stars.

      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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

      The Revenant Problem

      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.
