Grindfest

[Bdubzzz]

Hello Doomworld. Grindfest is here at last. That's right, the wad no one asked for. The purpose of the wad was to make grindy slaughter maps. You know how everyone likes to complain about a fight being to grindy? Well look at this wad before you do that again. These were made within a month and most are speed map ish 

 

Map Authors: Dubzzz, NoReason, Spendo, 4shockblast, lonely, Meowgi

Compatibility: MBF 21 / Complevel 21

Tested with: DSDA Doom 26.0. Not sure if other ports can handle a lot of the maps due to the amount of monsters

Difficulty settings: UV Only

I've been playing this for 6 hours, thanks for the wad! Will comment my thoughts when I beat map 01.

I saw a BFG in two of the screenshots.

As such I’m afraid this wad gets an F

Has anyone had any luck beating map 8? (without TAS). I just cannot for the life of me find a way to clear it with only the rocket launcher, I've tried several methods but I always end up getting overcrowded with cacos lol

Can't play!
As soon as the game started, he was killed.

Thanks!

Make sure you are playing in the right program, best DSDA-Doom (Windows download). The program needs to support MBF21.

 

In the past you mentioned using Doomsday Engine, but Doomsday Engine will not work with Grindfest.

Tried many times to beat this map but cannot find appropriate strategy. Maybe i am missing something. I almost waited for the moment when you can run through the opening from where the cacodemons appeared, but in that moment i have too low hp and thus can't manage this (i hope last) maneuver

It's all about herding the Cacos and keeping them in their hallway. Stand as close to the exit as possible, for as long as you possibly can. Switch sides when it becomes too crowded and repeat until the Cacos push you outside. Then you have to U-strafe for a while, try not to let Cacos encroach on your limited space & push you off, eventually you should be able to get back inside and circle strafe. This worked OK for me, still can get overwhelmed, would record a demo but I'm supposed to be working

ตรวจสอบให้แน่ใจว่าคุณกำลังเล่นในโปรแกรมที่ถูกต้อง  DSDA-Doom ที่ดีที่สุด  ( ดาวน์โหลด Windows ) โปรแกรมต้องรองรับ MBF21

 

ก่อนหน้านี้คุณพูดถึงการใช้ Doomsday Engine แต่ Doomsday Engine จะไม่ทำงานกับ Grindfest 

I can play but the number of demons is too much.

I have switched to use GZDOOM version 4.10.

Thanks!

GZDoom is slow when there are a very high number of demons. I suggest using DSDA-Doom, which operates better than GZDoom when there are a very high number of demons.

This is exactly the main method I used and the one that worked the best, but still can't kill enough of them to switch to circle strafing. I guess I'm just bad lol.

 

BTW: stuck at map 16, that one is just cruel, cruel, cruel.
