I made the map in UDMF, but I use gzdoom myself. From now on, I will just suggest using my maps for gzdoom and zdoom, since I can confirm it.

BTW, I'm glad you guys liked the map!

@Tuxlar,

I find a good strategy is to eliminate the warriors and drones by getting them in a group, and taking them out with grenades. After that, focus the rest on the Queen.

Grenades? I must have been doing something wrong. I only had access to a machine gun the entire time...

Edit: Secondary fire. Damn you.

Ya, I didn't notice that. Zdoom is usually my port of choice.

Well, there were at least these 2 visual glitches (the former of which got me killed; I couldn't properly negotiate the slope pit):

From the review by Zorah:

It took me nearly an hour to finish this map, but it was worth it. If you're looking for something beautiful, challenging, and will keep you busy for a while, this might be it. Firetop Mountain gets a big thumbs up from me. Download it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

That has to be the most outdated website ever. The spinning globe GIF just seals the deal.

Glad you're enjoying it. Have you been to doom2.net lately?

P.S. - if you are volunteering to update it, let me know, but many people seem to like the fact that everything works because it doesn't depend on java and flash to function. Sure, outdated - and functional - and, MOST IMPORTANTLY - it has more Doom related content than any other site on the internet, which - to me, is infinitely more important than whether or not it is web 2.0

Outdated doesn't mean its bad though! ;)

And good review Brad, what WAD are you going to do next?

I'm working on youdig

That boss at the end of Firetop Mountain kept messing with my brain. Archviles how do they work.

Yeah, that wasn't a bad map. Seemed a tad too lengthy, maybe.

As well you should be. lol j/k

[Brad_tilf]

honestly, you just have to experience this one for yourself. I pretty much understand how it was done but I've never actually seen it done.
So, pretty cool

Wow - a whole thread with all the reviews. That's pretty damn cool

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I have plans on updating that map in the future.

When you do, make sure to give me the new map. :-)

Smothered Hope for Doom 2
Hope you like it as much as Eric did!

This looks like a keeper. Good job, Chris.

This looks like one you don't want to pass up.

The Wailing Horde kicks ass! Fun, frantic gameplay. It's nice to get attacked from all angles at once. ;)
