To make up for all the crap that's in my latest demo batch, here's one for a level I reviewed for Doomworld's newstuff/ Chronicles #398 in October, which I found decent, if far, far too easy. My full thoughts on this level are best left for you to find out by reading that edition of the Chronicles, which you can find at http://www.doomworld.com/php/topstory.php?id=3383. With that in mind, I'll talk about speedrunning this level.

UV max, as can be garnered from the review, will become incredibly simple in short order due to the plasma rifle and the ridiculous number of cells you get. By far the most annoying section of the level is the room where the earliest berserk pack can be found. This area is surrounded by a fiery alcove where enemies attack you through windows. Getting rid of these enemies can get a bit frustrating, because the gaps between windows are wide enough that should they end up behind them, you'll have to waste precious time waiting for them to come out. You should also kill the cacodemons in the room with the red key door before you proceed much further, or else they'll fly into a spot where shooting them will waste time. There are quite a few errors in this one, but this was the fastest demo I managed to record. This is my second successful exit, with my first exiting in 6:30.

I like the assortment of sound replacements in this one, namely zombie death ones.

This has gotta be one of the least annoying dspistol sound replacements I've ever heard. In fact, I'd go as far as to say I like it.
