those were a lot of fun.  map 2 especially so.

[iggys_hot_ass]

these were really good and badass maps.

[Brock]

Thank you 2 . Glad you enjoyed them!

Very enjoyable pair of maps. Fast paced, tons of action, and even though the ambushes and traps started to get a little too predictable, they were often times still very intense and fun. Loved the song in map02, as well!

If you really want people to not jump or crouch, you should define nojump and nocrouch strings in the mapinfo, so those only can be overwritten with console commands. I did jumping and crouching as test when I played your map a bit. You might want reconsider rocket launcher secret route a bit at map02, because I only found it near end, which is quite useless when you're about to exit.

Tnx for the feedback lady ! @Misty

I like strange and more surreal layouts so I simply loved map01. It also was exactly my kind of gameplay. I really liked the way the crushers helped me in the attack in the red key room.

But Map02...? It's called "Fast as I like" and is exactly the opposite for me. :) After finally escaping the starting area - after about 50 tries - I got stuck in a small room with two barons...and gave up.

This gameplay style is to much depending on luck for me and will never be the way I like to play Doom. But i know a lot of people like this, so I think - and judging from the other reviews - this map is also great. :)

The Barrons are on top of a elevator. That's why it has a support texture, but i should have actually  choosed ya know  , elevator texture so my bad.So yeah i will have that on my mind next time. :P Also map02 focuses more on gameplay and movement ,it's very easy to beat the first area on map02 if you know how to dance with your enemies (aka their behaivour).Btw what difficulty you played Map02 ? Cuz it has a big difference in other difficulties.Edit- if it's the room where you pickup a rocket luncher or a ssg (Depending on what difficulty you are playing) in one of the Barons Room there is a switch that if you press opens a door you should enter.

Ahhh - that helped a lot. I take everything back. :)

I always play on UV and changed to lower difficutlies if needed, but from the first impression I thought I was in a slaughter map and - as mentioned - that's not my style of playing. Now I will give it another go and let you know what I think later. :)

Soooo, now I finally climbed "The Hills" and had a lot of fun. After the Baron-Trap (and with the knowledge that there is a simple solution) I was able to complete the map - from a pistol start - with 100 Health and about 30 Shells left. I used the complete chaingun ammo on the spectre pool to get the 100% kills - I just can´t leave any monsters alive. :)

Sadly I found only one secret (the rocket-launcher) and I even run the whole map a few times hugging walls.

All in all it was a nice adventure, even if I found some of the texture choices a bit of, but that's a matter of taste. I also included a screenshot where I found som wrong texture on some steps, but i didn't really look to closely for errors.

I had a lot of fun in these levels. I lol'd at the "lion". As for difficulty, it was just right for me on UV, so to most it's probably easy but I enjoyed it.

I liked the sky you used and your usage of the custom textures. Looking forward to more maps.

Thank you , but all are vanilla Doom 2 textures :)

These 2 maps were quite a bit of fun, and my favorite map was the second map, "Fast as I like", and that is totally not because I got the berserk pack and punched everything to death.

I play this at 1:34:40 into this playtest livestream. 2 decent maps overall with some good close combat encounters.
