About This File

This map is the conclusion of my High/Low series. Where the other maps are for Ult. Doom this one is for Doom 2. I chose to make it look and feel like some of the city maps from org. game, as they have always been some of my favorite maps and what I associate with Doom 2.

But of course, I have also made sure to put my own mark on the map, just as the other maps in the series. They are all merely interpretations of the org. games.

Anyway, this map is full of trick, traps, ambushes and puzzles. There is also a good deal of variety in the layout, so expect to do a little base jumping and try to watch your step at all times.

The difficulty in the map does not come from hordes of monsters. It might be a big map, but it is not stuffed with monsters.

Too bad the early part of map make me a little easy to get lost, and most of times, have to shoot down monsters from long distance or they'll shoot you down. The map looks nicely, can see put a lot of effort on the visuals and architectures, but make the gameplay just a little weak. I like the BFG trap because I don't afraid get killed if I'm not quickly, just wait and shoot them, and the final cyberdemon can just BFG him to fall down the pit, that's tricky!

Afterall, this still a very nice map to play, just may not fit everybody, but I say whatever you like or not, just try play it atleast once.

Lots of work, and author shows a lot of skills. Sadly architecture is too much used as decoration, which including the monster placement, leads to a sort-of puppet-show ambiance. Gameplay is strongly based on snipers, which gets annoying and is too cheap. But the biggest problem is that an adventure level should guide the player at least a little bit through its experience, otherwise one ends with endless walking. Which is the case here... Overal: meh because of the amount of weak points. It's a pity.

I got horribly lost in a lot of places and the layout was really confusing to me. didn't like it much. the "Living End" cave area stood out. the BFG trap wasn't really effective much.

A fantastic map that deserves far more attention! The layout is reminiscent of Industrial Zone and Living End combined, only modernized. The map has many catwalks and passageways that cross over each other, which involves some skill to navigate. There are far too many slaughter-fest maps out there that involve no navigational skill whatsoever, so this map is a breath of fresh air. There is perhaps too much ammo (and a few small bugs), but that can be overlooked.

Really fun puzzle-centric level with lots of small ledges and timed "jumps". The keys are hard to find, and overall it does a good job of keeping you on your toes. Not a quick pick up and play, but this rewards the effort. Recommended. -TRRobin.

If you are a fan of Chris Hansen's work, then you do not want to miss this one. It is definitely in the top 3 best wads he's ever made. Top-notch stuff! 5/5.

Line 5242 SR lift action is broken in prb+ cl9, so I decide to give up my fda, because playing this map again from scracth is way too boring - all of these seems-to-be-infinity imps on ledges and other stuff... Visually it is rather big and comlpicated map, constructed entirely from stereotyped elements with bad sense of style mixing. *

Masterfully constructed level from one of the all-time great mappers. Even though the yellow-key area can make pull my hair right out of my scalp, it remains an enjoyable playthrough. Great combination of narrow and wide-open spaces and designed with a 3D mind-set. The BFG trap is pretty nerfed, however. One or two visual bugs don't drag down an otherwise excellent experience. 4.5/5

A puzzling semi non linear map that concentrates on classic-style gameplay and good old Doom 2 bricks and metal style architecture. Tons of puzzles will keep you exploring for sure. Watch your back and save often. There is a Spider and Cyberdemon along with 3 Archviles and all other monsters Doom 2 can throw at you (except for the Wolf SS)

      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

      The Revenant Problem
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      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.
