Map02: Didn't waste too much time for this level, as it was my
easy map.
Map05: Tried to play a different route than other (Grand)
Masters. There are several weeks between the recordings
from this map and Map02, (go on reading with map11 :-)
Map28: This took me several tries to do. It wasn't that easy
as I thought first, when I had watched other Grand-
masters playing this map. It's a long and hard map,
maybe there are too many inv.'s.
(Please continue with Free)
Map11: looks much better. It's my Out-of-Base Level and I rank
it hard because of the difficult start. I think you
should go rather quickly for the Soulsphere and the
Green Armor because outside this room you're probably
lost in the 'Circle of Death'. No places to hide, but
who wants this anyway :-) ? Till the end I stayed rather
k00l, my only problem was a (very fast) pain elemental
and me, the lonely soldier low on ammo. Only some shells
left in my backpack. Well, it's been a bit of luck to
get out alive. (BTW now jump back to Map28 :-)
Free Interpretation
Map29: I took this for free, because I always try to challenge
myself. This is one of the hardest maps IMHO. I died so
many times in almost all places you could think of.
The last five recordings before I finally made it, Cybie
rocked me out in the exit, or I accidently entered the
exit while circle strafing. Problem in the last scene
is the smallness of the place (if you don't want to
hide of course). I took Cybie in real Mustaine manner
with the double barrel. Plasma gun is a problem, because
I just couldn't see Cybie's rockets. BTW thanx to D2M
Jesper Hansson, his route is best and the only possible
for FAST monsters on this map.
Author info : 24 year old software engineer who started playing DooM
in January '95. Everything went on just normally, until
I saw Steffen Winterfeldt's Famous DooM II Nightmare Run
(anyone who hasn't seen it yet, download it *now* from
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/doom/lmps/doom2/1.9/doom2nm.zip).
This was the point where I had to decide whether to stop
or to *really* start playing DooM - with mouse and
seperate strafing keys (strafe *on* SUX! ;-). Well, so
here's my D2GM exam,
Thanx to especially ZlatkO for watching numerous LMPs.
Watch out for his LMPs in the COMPET-N 100% kills &
secrets category for DooM ! Poor little Anthe :-)
