All from the Same map. They were from HF1M7, i think?

This is the Sound Addon i was working on. This is my Gratitude of finishing making the Hell-Forged. All finished, replaces almost all the Sound Effect of the TC. Like Weapons and Monsters. And yeah, it has Bosses' New Sounds as well. Hope you enjoy!

- In the later maps I found myself appreciating the fact that color stands out so much among the predominantly brown environments; It makes it easier to spot the colored lights indicating which key section I'm in. The later maps tend to make good use of strategic color placement in this regard.

- E1M6 is awesome. This was my first exposure to the Doom Sphere, and charging into the cathedral with its effect active and laying waste to everything was cathartic after spending most of the wad being more meticulous with combat. I think the powerups present in this wad have the potential to make slaughter maps more interesting and creative and I hope other mappers experiment with Hell-Forged mapmaking in this way.

- I think the Soultaker could use a little more "bite" to its special effects, specifically by having a more visible impact effect when it successfully connects with enemies; Perhaps a white, whispy swirl instead of just blood splats?

- In E1M8, I think the green teleporter could use a bit more of an indication that it's something that's eventually going to lower down and be accessible when you flip all the green switches, because right now it just looks like a nondescript metal column. I spent a while after flipping all the green switches trying to figure out what teleporter it was talking about.

- The Hellsmith fight was alright. Having the Soultaker definitely makes the fight more manageable. I have a couple of suggestions for things that might make the fight more satisfying.

It seems awkward to me that the Smith lightly brushing into you while charging kills you immediately while his mighty hammer and cannons, hyped up by the backstory to be to primary source of his power, do less damage. If you want the charge attack to remain an instakill then I would recommend adding a brief startup to it that gives better visual indication of its strength, otherwise I'd suggest reducing the damage and increasing the knockback to make it more of a disorienting move than a lethal one.

Also, I'm tempted to say that the time he spends simply walking around between attacks should be increased to give players more breathing space, and then buff his health to offset his increased vulnerability, because the way the fight is right now, you either annihilate him with the soul weapons in 15-20 seconds or you die, a contrast to fights with other boss monsters who encourage a strategy of ducking in and out at opportune moments between their attacks. (Sentinels are particularly fun for me to fight for this reason.) This would also make it so that you're less likely to get hit by stray bouncing projectiles while avoiding his next attack.
