Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
That wasn't my point. Just because you can edit IWAD maps...

I think nobody here is understanding your point. Can you explain what is wrong with it?darkhaven3 wrote:That wasn't my point. Just because you can edit IWAD maps...

Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
Well, if it's just the principle of the thing, that you don't like playing edits of IWAD maps, then really, saying it once is probably enough for us to get it. But if it's about them being illegal, I checked with him earlier, and given the standpoints id software has taken in the past about this sort of thing, edited IWAD maps are quite legal, as long as they only work on the IWAD from which they are derived.darkhaven3 wrote:That wasn't my point.

Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
I dig this WAD. It's good fun for co-op, and the increased enemy counts and Brutal Doom's increased kill-speeds balance out nicely, I think.

Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
Even more work has been done on maps 4 through 7 now, but I won't post an update until I get the first Doom2 episode done.

Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
"Hellspawn" edition update, MAP01 through MAP11 have a significant difficulty spike, inspired by Hell Revealed and Alien Vendetta megawads.
Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
I just wanted to say that some of the little "surprises" in the revised maps are just plain evil. X____x
Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
Nice placement of secrets. The ones in the first few levels of your Doom 2 maps are spot on for dealing with the increased crowds of monsters.

Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
Yea, they are and even after the previous revision (upped to hardcore initially) it can be fairly easy unless you use the Brutal Doom mod, then it gets harder especially if you are not expecting the extra critters.

If you come across any flaws, be it unfairly high difficulty spikes or other things, don't hesitate to let me know!

Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
Playing through the hardcore Doom 2 now (UV). Just noticed that the Hellknight in that little 3 way hallway near the supershotgun secret gets stuck in the doorway cause of the sharp angle in the hallway. It makes him and the chaingunners in there an easy kill cause the hellknight soaks up all the shots, kills the chaingunners, then falls without being able to hit you as you shoot him.

Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
I've alleviated the hell knight issue by making more room near the door and putting him in the center of the 3 chaingunners. The next update will be codenamed "Hell on Earth" to match the hecticness of what's to come.
But I still would have to do Doom again if I wanted but what would suck is the lesser variety of monsters to choose from, which would mean lots of imps, demons and cacodemons if I wanted to make some areas demon centric.

Re: Brutalized Doom & Doom 2
Monster in-fighting seems really heavy as well, but I guess there's not much you can do about that without changing the level design a lot. Like on the Gauntlet with the blue key there's so many chaingunners that they kind of wipe out the room, lol. I don't mind it much though, all the chaos is fun.
EDIT: I found it a little difficult to get by the cyberdemon on Map06, since if you stay on the lift going down you'll get gibbed pretty easily. Eventually got it by running left and using the teleport to warp onto his platform, then a quick dash to the switch for the crusher. It doesn't seem like you've messed much with level secrets after the first couple maps as well, or is it just me? It feels like a little more could be stashed in them to offset the hardcore monster swarms.
