BFG Vault

About This File

Doom 2 PWAD

It is understood that the high level security vault at UAC's Weapons Research Laboratories, which has developed the BFG mark II, has been breached and infested by the hellspawn. The mark II BFG is twice as powerful as the original weapon, and if the creatures discover how it works, then they will be able to alter it for themselves as a means with which to wipe out mankind. The last known location of the BFG mark II is in a small room inside the UAC vault.

Your Mission: To retrieve the BFG mark II and exterminate the hellspawn.

This isn't bad. It really should be longer. Interesting ideas, too. --Zell_1388

This is dated November 1995. Disappointingly, the MkII BFG mentioned in the text is just a standard BFG; there's no dehacked patch. You have to clear out mini-arenas that branch off a central corridor. The corridor has lifts that you have to take at just the right time to avoid being frazzled by baddies in alcoves. It's simultaneously clever and irritating. Once you've figured out the timing trick it's easy, but it would be a good secret level for a megawad.

      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.
