Use Free interpretation: Map29 GrandMaster Style Comments : First: I have an own email address !! 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 :-) - Anthe
