'S H O O T !'

I can sum up this map pretty fast: A return to old school Doom action!
The goal was simply to make a small to medium sized map with great action, fast paced gameplay, puzzles, traps, a hard pumped midi track and a short no-bullshit title! Ingredients that I feel are so important to good Doom 2 gaming experience.
If you haven't guessed it already, this map is more about a fun experience for the gamer than catering to the eye. Sure it looks good, but I tried to focus more on entertaining the player through an trip back to the day when Dooming was.... Doom!

'M E E K'

Like any good employee I have installed DB at work and so when I get bored I do a little editing. This little level is a product of boredom at work over the last few months. It's nothing spectacular... at all. It's just a short episode 1 style level, which started out as doodles and ended up as playable.

'R I S I N G   B L O O D'

This is a remake of one of my really early levels. I always considered it as my first really good level and I felt that it needed a revival. This level uses a texture pack by Chris Buecheler which I used on my Flay The Obscene Episode 4. It's full name is "CWB Texture Pack 5 for Doom2". The level itself forces the player to use some teleports in one main area to reach other areas to find switches and keys. You will backtrack to some extent, but I have tried to not make it too tedious. The level was intended to be a good mix of action and puzzles wrapped up in good looks! I think this is my first released level that requires a specific sourceport, namely zDoom or gzDoom.

'H I G H / L O W  1'

I first started this map perhaps 2 years ago. I then decided to finally finish it and so I did within a month. It has a distinct episode 1 feel to it, however I did not use the same strict rules with this map as I did when making the CH Retro Episode. The environments are a bit different and should, despite the fact that I was a bit rusty at making maps, still be rather pleasing to the eye while still posing a good challenge. Perhaps even a bit harder as I think I slipped a couple of cacodemons in there!

Thanks for DarkFyre and Fusion from "HellCore" for testing the level!

'H I G H / L O W  2'

After having warmed up with "High/Low 1" I felt like returning to a style too few wad authors touch: Namely the episode 2 style! I only wish I had made more E2 maps because it really appeals to me and I always feel like there is a lot more room for certain tricks and traps in these maps. There is of course also the artistic challenge of trying to make sense of a map that seems so messy in all those different textures. I find that challenging and very rewarding when you succeed. Which I think you will agree with me that I have with this level. It might not be "Rip it, Tear It, Smash it!" but it is damn close! Enjoy!

'H I G H / L O W  3'

The series continues with this episode 3 themed level.
There is not really that much to say other than I like this level a lot. It didnt quite turn out as Hell like as I had hoped for, but instead I got this really nice weird environment that is very unique. But dont misunderstand me: This level is dark, evil and red hot!

'H I G H / L O W  4'

High/Low 4 has quite a history. Before becoming a part of this series, it started life way back in 2000, I think, as a Flay The Obscene level. Then I joined Doom Millenium and it became a part of that. But since that never got released, this level just faided into the lost corners of my harddrive. It survived until this date when it has now been completely revamped and has undergone a lot of changes with new areas, a new route through it and all the textures/flats changed. I have changed so many things that I might as well have built it from scratch :) So, yes, technically it is a bit old, but together with all the changes I have made, then you actually get the best of both worlds and I promise you a cool experience!

'G A M M A  L A B S'

This was originally intended as map04 in a Doom II interpretation of Doom project named Doom:Enigma. It died and so this level survived. Here, a long time after it was made, I decided to release it after a couple of minor corrections.

The funny thing about this level is the fact that it is made in the episode 1 style, but runs with Doom II. If I have to say so myself, I have succeeded in creating an episode 1 level under Doom II with good results from having only Doom II graphics.

Gameplay wise it is very interesting as there are only weaker enemies and weaponry. However, the regular foes stands stronger with the addition of Chaingunners, so be careful or this medium sized level will get your trigger finger bloody!

'I N   A   W O R L D'

Download this level for that classic Doom II experience filled with spectacular designs and unrealistically action packed gameplay!

It features a wide selection of texture and flats combinations which brings back memories to the original game, yet still manages to be far more unique. The level of detail is much higher and although a bit linear it will still challenge the player' sense of direction as he must find all three keys and travel back and forth in the level. The level of difficulty is hard to say, however generally it must be considered hard as one particularly weapon is missing. There is a variety of powerups to be found and plenty of secret areas to help the player come out victorious.

Do not hesitate to download this level! While not my best work it stille features my regular level of quality.

'H E L P Y O U R S E L F I S H'

This is without a doubt the biggest level I have ever made. It is huge and very complex. The texture scheme is very depressive and consists only of brown, grey, green and orange textures and flats with a bit of metal thrown in as well.

Gameplay wise you will get slaughtered. It is Slayer like difficult, and Ultra Violence is extremely hard to defeat. Besides the fact that you face a lot of very different monsters, you will also need to be very tactical and position yourself correct during battle. If not, you will die, or fall into an inescapable lava pit. In this level there is no mercy.

It is filled to the rim with hard pumped action and the stunning atmosphere and architecture will keep you entertained all the way through it! It is not your regular level, it is not your average DooM experience, it is Helpyourselfish!

'RIP IT, TEAR IT, SMASH IT!'

After the completion of 'CH Retro Episode' (look further down the page) I found myself wondering if I should create a sequel based on the 'The Shores Of Hell' theme. I made a small level and it worked rather good for me. It fitted me OK to do this style. Still I wasn't quite sure whether or not I could design an entire episode. Half way through the second level, I decided that I couldn't go through with it.

So here's the two levels I did create. Thrown together because the first map is very small, considder it a warm-up level. Now don't get me wrong; these are not some second grade write-offs! These are two high quality maps which are sure to relieve you of your episode 2 hunger! There's not all that many good episode 2 maps around, so be sure not to miss these two!

'C H    R E T R O'

There was only rule which applied when I made this level: Make it play, feel and look like any of Romero's episode 1 levels in the original Doom!

You won't find any neat tricks of any kind in this level. There aren't any big monsters either. The detail level hits rock bottom! However, "CH Retro" guarantees you a gaming experience which is very rare these days; the true one!

Big words, I know, but "CH Retro" won't let you down! You'll love it for it's pure Doom feeling!

Updated Version!

 

'CH RETRO EPISODE'

The exact same thing applies to the episode as the above mentioned level of the same name. This is just an entire episode replacement of the same Romero style goodness!
This project has won much critical praise and is along with Helpyourselfish my best custom pwad ever.

If you are at all a fan of Knee Deep in the Dead then I don't think you will be disappointed over spending a couple of hours playing through this!
