Free interpretation : MAP18 Nightmare using only bare hands
Comments : Having completed the three DOOM 1 Advanced Titles
3 months ago, I now have the opportunity to do the
same for DOOM 2. To compare both DOOMs in Nightmare
mode: DOOM 2 is slightly harder than DOOM 1, but
just slightly. Also, Incubus base for DOOM 2 is
well balanced, which is not the case with DOOM 1.
I have recorded the three required LMPs the day I got
the challenge, and they are all adequate to their ranking.
MAP03 : This MAP is one of my favorites. A full life/armor pack
plus invisibility, all in one place to safely authenticate,
make this MAP really easy. Note an interesting move near
the red key: first lower the lift, and then take the key.
This saves the lives of two more demons ;-)
MAP10 : Yes, this is a fairly medium level. That is, after you
watched other people run. In particular, at the critical
section - spider/revenant/imp/demon room - a right route
to take is very important. Very important is also a delay
at that room's entrance. The imps should open the door
themselves, your shooting is then heard by other monsters
and they move, so that their location becomes convenient
by the time you enter. This is, of course, not the only
possible way, but statistically it gives the least
probability of something going wrong.
MAP19 : D2I-DZ, who added this level, has developed a great route,
especially a nice touch about the cacodemon behind the
main building's door. Only have him see you; then you may
go around the corner for the green armor. That brain surgeon
tries to get closer to you *along the straight line*, so it
exits into the "courtyard"! By the time you return, the
way is free.
The Arachnotron at the beginning is really REALLY annoying
when it starts to open the door. DZ did not kill him; initially
I also did not intend to, because in that case the respawning
would likely to go wrong. But the arachnotron kept opening the
door and killing me with amazing stability. It finally got on
my nerves, I went out AND KILLED THE DAMNED SPIDER. Boy was I
relieved! What's more, the recording now would go much easier,
the beginning is not a critical section anymore. Two critical
points still remain, however. One after a teleport (the demons
tend to come to the rising ledge), another near the yellow key
where you have a specter teleported and clawing at your back.
But all in all, this level is not a super hard.
MAP14 : (out of base). I was surprised when I saw this level was still
available. It's definitely easier than the remainder.
By difficulty this MAP is somewhere between Medium and Hard.
It's rather Hard when compared with "medium" set of D2I base.
Although there are no tough places (except around the blue key),
this big level features a whole lot of sniping points and the
monsters, especially chaingunners, make the full benefit of it.
You have to be very careful and very alert all the time.
However, the availability of plasma gun with plenty of cells
as well as a Soulsphere is a plus. I think I'll left Mr. LMPs
decide in which set this level should go.
MAP18 : (free). The idea of doing a level on NM without firing a shot
came immediately after I began thinking about a free
interpretation. After a brief analysis, two levels appeared
suitable: MAP08 and MAP18. So I did the latter barehanded
(which is not hard at all, by the way). MAP08 is even simplier.
There may exist other levels possible this style, but they are
not so obvious.
Author info : Now 25 years old, I am hereby conquering my 4th advanced
DHT title. I started to play DOOM approximately in November 1994.
A complete "mouser", I have been using mouse control from
the beginning. But only in February 1996 I began to SERIOUSLY
play DOOM when I discovered about DHT and saw the brilliant
performance of Steffen in his D1S exam.
