Configuration: right shift................run A..........................strafe left S..........................retreat! D..........................strafe right right mouse button.........forward left mouse button..........fire Free interpretation : Map 1 with fast monsters using only the chainsaw. I take on the bunch of imps outside in the courtyard all at once in a swirling melee. Comments : Maps 3 and 14 were very easy and a little boring. There isn't even a chainsaw in either one to spice things up a little! In case you haven't noticed, the chainsaw is my favourite weapon... Map 29 was a real bitch, and so I didn't do a super-hard free. It took me a few tries just to get the beginning strategy down. Once you get plasma gun things get a little easier. Still hard enough that I had to resort to that most hated of tactics: sniping (sorry). After a 15 minute life-and-death struggle I make it to the end, only to circle-strafe right into the exit when fighting the cyberdemon. Twice. AARGGGH! I had to resort to another strategy to kill him (hey, at least I did rather than copping out). Yes, he CAN hit you from where I was shooting from if he gets close enough to the edge. Author info : I am a 25 year old chemistry grad student at the University of Toronto. I have been enjoying Doom since Feb. '95, and my adiction just seems to be getting stronger and stronger. D2M took a little longer to complete than D1M for me, mostly because of that damn map 29. Oh well, now on to the good stuff....SG, T, GM. Heh. Piece of cake.
