DOOM 2: Earth Assault 2 - Episode 1 BETA

[PWAD Pete]

Hey DooMers!

Do you like vanilla themed Doom 2 WADs? Well you're in luck because the first episode to my Doom 2 WAD "Earth Assault 2" is now available for beta testing!



Upon completion, Earth Assault 2 is going to be a total of 4 episodes and over 40 levels! Progress has been slow but steady since 2017, and the project has undergone a major revamp in the past couple years. Levels have been reworked and redesigned. Some have even been scrapped altogether and replaced. A lot of time, effort, and imagination has gone into this work of mine and it is going to be my ultimate creation once it is done. Most of the levels are complete. The bulk of episodes 2-4 are finished, with a handful of maps still needing to be finished, and some secret levels and boss maps having yet to be started.


The story of Earth Assault 2 leaves off where the original Earth Assault ended. After killing the barons of hell and hitting the exit switch, you find yourself being given a new mission. Your orders are to fight your way through the Yucca Flat Military Installation and use your clearance to gain access to the nuclear missile command center. There you will launch a salvo of ICBMs straight through the portal leading into hell and give those demonic motherfuckers a taste of our terrestrial might.

If you're a graphics artist: I NEED YOU!
I am currently in need of graphic work done for this WAD which includes sky textures, Doom 1 style intermission maps, a menu logo, and a title screen. While I currently have more mapping to finish before the WAD is complete, if you want to be a part of this project, I would love to have your help, provided it fits the theme of this WAD.

---

Feel free to post feedback here! Those who provide quality feedback for the first episode will be asked to playtest the other episodes when they are complete.

Compatible with Brutal Doom and other gameplay mods! This WAD requires GZDoom or another ZDoom based source port.

Have a BEAUTIFUL day!

This is really fun!

[JohnnyTheWolf]

This looks neat! I am subscribing to this thread and adding the mapset to my ever-increasing backlog.

Also, I could use some help here, as I cannot find a way to access the secret area on the eastern side of the map, near the red keycard.

[PWAD Pete]

If you're talking about the outdoor area, pay close attention to the walls in the room with the soul sphere.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

No, that one, I have found already.

I am referring to the secret passage behind the thin computer panel in the same room as the Soulsphere. Using am_cheat 2, I see that there are a bunch of health and armour bonuses as well as a Hell Knight. I have no idea how to access it without cheating, however.

Also, in E1M11, in the room before the four corridors packed with explosive barrels, there seems to be two pinkies remain inactive until I shoot them.

Still in E1M11, how the hell do I get past the room full of Arch-Viles?!?

[PWAD Pete]

You gain access to that area through the opening visible in the outdoor lake area in the east.



As you approach the switch that lowers the red key, you will cross a linedef that briefly lowers the area around the opening to allow you to make it through.

Thank you for telling me about the pinky bug To get through the arch-vile room, pay close attention to the ground and the automap.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Thank you. I tried replaying the map on pistol start but I find myself struggling with the room with the Cyberdemon in a cage and the barrels. When I first played it, I had max armour and health already, so by hugging the wall immediately to the right of where I landed I could survive the explosions. What am I missing?
