Alpha Complex - Single Player Map [-cl2 Limit-removing]

i like

AskYourDrAboutUVFast thanks for the feedback and demo. Just watched your playthrough, and you dealt with the fights pretty much the way i intended them to play out, which was great to see.

- About the crate maze archvile/revenant fight - Others have also mentioned that the two archviles might be a bit too much for that fight and with that many rockets, so after watching your demo, i decided to remove one of them. That way the rockets should be enough to clear everything. The map is already updated with the change.

- About the SSG, i wanted this map to focus more on shooting rockets, while the first half, before you get the rocket launcher, is meant to play out more like a Doom 1 map (despite the few present chaingunners). Some of my previous maps were very SSG heavy, and i didn't want this one to be like that as well. I'm looking to make an episode of this, and the plan for this one, is to come after maps that give you the SSG, so the SSG secret here will be more of a concern for pistol starters.

- Hiding in the switch cubbies seems like a working strategy to deal with the final fight. But it's a ton of fun to go out, do a few circles on the newly raised platforms, maybe a few jumps down to the teleporters, to create an infighting chaos out of this battle. You can then take cover and watch the carnage unfold.

- It's interesting, when i was playtesting the map, i thought i timed, the lowering bars well... they always drop for me 5-10 seconds after i'm done with the fight, and sometimes i would be slower in clearing the monsters, and they'd be open before i'm done killing. I'll try to time them better, after i do a few more tests.

Here is a demo:

I enjoyed the hitscan usage since I didn't have a surplus of rockets or ssg (I really don't like killing anything heavier than imps en masse unless I have at least ssg).

The fights were fun. I had a very close call in this demo at the end.

Had to look at the editor for the soulsphere secret.

There is a bug I found:
Right when you open the yk door you can hop on the ledge to your immediate left and jump onto the path with the single rocket pickups which you would normally access after picking up the bk and raising the platforms. This caused the path leading toward the crate maze area to raise up higher than normal which prevented me from progressing.
