About This File

Deathmatch level for Doom2! Very addicting and excellent layout! This WAD is guarenteed to make you a Doom2 Deathmatch Junkie! :)

THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW MY MAPS, KNOW BY NOW I BUILD MOSTLY WITH DEATHMATCH IN MIND, SO SINGLE PLAYER GAMES ARE STILL FUN BUT NOT AS MANY PUZZLES, NO KEYS IN MOST SINGLE PLAYER GAMES.

"Let's kick some tail". I don't get why the other reviewers get their panties in knot, this is pure, unadulterated 1994 fun...even though the map is actually fom 1997. Early 1997, so let's cut it some slack, m'kay? As the zombiemen say when they die "you fuckin' chill" (?).

 

OK, the new sound effects sound like something I'd have done back in 1994, with the newly discovered joys of "multimedia" and such, but they sure got a chuckle out of me, and that's enough to get two stars.

 

Map design...well, TBQH only MAP01 and a few others like MAP11 (the one in the "KEEP" screenshot) and MAP13 (the one with the black boxes/keens) seem to be somewhat decently designed for single player, and even those are way too easy. A pistol start is a must if you want to have something remotely close to a challenge.

 

It also shows the map designers weren't actually incompetent, even though the progression/traps are very predictable. Most of the maps consist of boxy rooms/plain open arenas with few variations, even though there are some nice touches and ideas here and there, but they obviously couldn't keep it up for 21 maps.

 

What makes the gameplay tedious however is a certain proclivity by part of the authors to avoid the use of switches, while the maps are designed around a "hump random wall X to open new section Y, monsters pour in, rinse, repeat" formula so get used to A LOT of wall humping unmarked walls and random textures, backtracking and "where the fuck do I go now?" moments if you want to max most maps.

 

TBQH I don't get how any of those maps would be good for multiplayer and particularly Deathmatch, as they are waaaay too large.

"Deathmatch" 

Avoid playing this, it's really not that good.

MAP INTENDED FOR DEATHMATCH PLAY ONLY. WAS ORGINALLY DESIGN TO PLAY OVER A MODEM WITH ONLY 1 OTHER PLAYER. THE MAPS WOULD BE REALLY HARD TO PALY BY YOURSELF. hUGE LEVELS DESIGN FOR LONGER PLAY, DOORS AND SWITCHESS HIDDEN SO THAT YOU HAVE TO SEARCH FOR SWITCHES. ALL FEATURES BY DESIGN ON PURPOSE. I WAS THE ORIGNAL BUILDER OF THESE MAPS. WHO WAS CHARGING? STYX64@HOTMAIL.COM

Fun running around and shooting bots in deathmatch, though not very imaginative level design, and some spawn points get you trapped (areas that can only be revealed from one side).

Below average maps. Single player sucks because there's too much health and ammo. Anyway, thanks to FunDuke for making it available for free. :)

      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.
