5till L1 Complex

So this is the kind of map that I got to like from just how it looks. The screenshots alone sold it for me and gave a good first impression. And the map has a lot going for it, it's one very large, rather non-linear level with a distinct setting and tone. The setting is great, actually, there was a lot of work put to make it feel like a real place (there are distinct building like a church, a supermarket, etc.) and it excels in this regard, and I also like the depressing tone it has.
Unfortunately, after replaying it thoroughly (I didn't give it a proper go the first time I played it years ago, and just assumed it's great throughout), it didn't really live up to expectations. It's not bad, but it's not remarkable (except for the good things I said about it above), and it has shortcomings. My main gripe is that, despite exploring seemingly everything, eventually I reached a point where I didn't know where to go, and the computer area map didn't help either. After over 1.5 hours of playing I just gave up on it.

The other complaint is music: it's too repetitive. This is bad considering you'll definitely be playing this map for at least an hour, and the music will become annoying.

As for the difficulty, can't complain. It was rather easy on ITYTD, as it should be. Tho there's a rather difficult platforming segment, at least if you aren't good at it.

One more thing: this map had FPS drops for me, even tho I played on Eternity, and it seems to be the problem with the map, not my computer.

Only 1 new Level, other look of Weapons but same shots as classic weapons, and no new monsters. Poor!

A very beautiful map, great ambiance.

Ammo-starvation quickly became a problem in UV early on, though - fighting pinkies and imps in the maze in the first part of the map emptied me out pretty quickly.  Needs either more ammo pickups or hit-scanners to drop ammo.  That is why the three stars.

Otherwise, this was a very beautiful map.

geez, I said this was one of the better things despite the lag, but I still have to dock my former rating because well, I didn't like it as much. combat of course is okay but never hits its stride, the spacing makes things easy, and the nonlinear direction is pretty splendid. the desolate feeling is of course a major plus. the whole southern section of the map honestly needs to go though, there's not enough meat to justify the mini-town there, and it took me awhile to get the red key. here's a hint, head back to the teleporter and do some roof jumping, it's a bit of a pain in the ass. the sprite replacements are okay aside from the BFG which is just weird. favorite moment was at the blue key, using the switch to raise the buildings was really cool.
