[Aquila Chrysaetos]

Now that's a champion barrel. It's clear who our IronEagle MVP is.

Congratulations, Anonymous Telefrag Barrel!

Are Doom Retro demos incompatible with PRBoom? Or does it not record demos?

Even if they are, it's a little irrelevant because I have the port anyway.

If it doesn't record, then naturally I'll remove that one from the list.

Doom Retro doesn't have demo support so you'd better remove it from the list to avoid confusion.

I didn't expect the barrel to claim so many. I expected it to be the Mastermind at the end if it was going to be on MAP02.

That gives us five deaths on MAP02, four to that same barrel and one to the crusher immediately after.

 

If you don't time that crusher right, it's a death trap. Even though it's going, I could see someone missing it if they were playing quickly.

 

And funnily enough, everyone that reached the Spider Mastermind bested her.

Here's my brief run. Died on map 2 to some bullshit involving teleporting onto an exploding barrel. Not really a fan of Ironman wads where you need foreknowledge to beat stupid stuff like that to be honest.

 

I went back and replayed the level and noticed that, if you're observant, you'll see a barrel sitting on a teleport pad. So, if you saw it, and were paranoid, you would probably just blow it up and not have any issue--foreknowledge or not. I still got killed by it, so I feel your pain. I could see people accidentally blowing it up during their fight with the imps and never being the wiser that it was a danger.

Next month there probably will be another IronEagle, since I've received a few requests for it, but it will be in tandem with a small mapping project I want to host, so it may receive token attention.

 

Hurray for another IronEagle!

 

You could always nominate someone to oversee the IronEagle competition for a month (or take it over in perpetuity) if you wanted to focus on other projects.

Dead on map 04

So... cool instant death crusher i guess? No sign at all that it was going to be a crusher. Iron Eagle is truly a good  (temporary? ) replacement for the Iron Camel as the Iron Camel always seemed to have some bull shit in the early wad selection as well, good job sir :)

I always kill a barrel when I see one.  It's just common practice in ironman.

I was thinking that was why I didn't recall the barrel trap on Map02, but little did I know how close I was.

Good thing for you that you didn't take a backward step sooner than you did.
