Free interpretation : Map 32 (Grosse) I realize that this is an "easy" level. But it is only easy if you use all the big weapons. It's medium without them. I picked it because I could get to the Cyberdemon quickly (without doing another out-of-base level -- gotta leave something the rest of the world). I mopped up the Nazis with just a fist. Didn't do it all the cleanly, but I wasn't really after a Tyson title. Just wanted to get them out of the way without using guns. I took out the Cyberdemon with shotgun and chaingun. I would have used just a pistol, but there are not enough bullets on the level. Besides, it would take too long and I'm not doing a Tyson here. So, shotgun and chaingun. You have to be able to move and shoot to do this. So, as Maniac say, "Watch and learn." :) Comments : I think that I would recategorize Level 06 as medium rather than hard. It's a lot easier than most of the ones that I tried as the out-of-base level. Level 14 (my out-of-base level) is a medium difficulty. There is plenty of ammo and not a lot of places where you get into hand-to-hand combat (which is what makes a -fast level hard -- for me). Author info : Well, I've only managed to complete the DM title from the 3rd Edition of the DHT. Couldn't manage the DGM because I just don't like playing the way that you have to play when respawn is enabled (in single player mode, that is). Since I've done D2GM (and I hope I'm the first), I may just go straight for the Schwartzenegger since I like to be unique. Of course, I doubt my family will grant me the time necessary to actually do this. But, it will keep me busy for a while.
