The Cursed Hangar

A short map that had quite a history with Freedoom, that being the first map of Freedoom when it was just Freedoom (as doom2.wad) and Ultimate Freedoom (as doom.wad), then to being the first map of the Phase 1 only, and now no longer part of the project. So history aside, the map itself is short but neat, which also made it a rather nice first map when it was part of the Freedoom project.

The map resembles the Hangar from the original Doom and it's pretty easy to tell right away. You go kill some Zombiemen and Shotgunners, pick up some armor, blast your way through the short level, and done. Some Boom effects were used well here, including one where the lighting of the room changes to something more menacing. Other than that, it's nice to see this map in the archive.

If you're looking for some badass map to challenge yourself with, you're in the wrong place. This map is not just a (cool) map.

It's a part of Freedoom's history.

Very short, but some nice effects used.

Nice little map. I'd probably give it 2.5 stars. It's not very challenging on UV, but it was very reminiscent of a map from original Doom. I liked the open door when you go up the lift. That's always nice to see. The pipes were a good touch. There were some cool light effects, moving textures... boomedit.wad?

Thanks for sharing.

I did UV Max in 3:31.

Nice, short map with some interesting boom effects!
