>Reading this reminds me of a sewer map I made years ago as a part of one of my first map packs
>Intro section is tight and has a nice shoot trigger secret
>Awkwardly tight walkways with broken guardrails over large pits of toxic waste with mancubi, imps, and revenants on raised platforms, demons and a baron on the walkway, a hellknight that sneaks in behind you
>A large hallway of platforms and toxic waste pits that's got cacos, pain elementals, and revenants
>DAMAGE FLOOR MAZE with "sewage bars" blocking certain paths to make it more confusing (I was also playing an older version of the map that had less hazard suits)
>Then there's a secret area from there that has a switch/linedef puzzle (pic related) where you have to hit the correct three switches without passing a linedef that'll close the doors (at least the updated version had health bonuses as hints); then there's a secret within the secret where if you hit four switches hidden in the toxic maze (one of which was hidden in a secret room behind a wall texture that didn't stand out at all) you would be rewarded with a couple of goodies
>After a lot of the map looping back in on itself/backtracking, the final room is a giant H-shaped sewage corridor with all kinds of mid-tier and a few high-tier enemies everywhere; most of the lower area is brown sludge that doesn't hurt but there are some pools of toxic waste to avoid and you need to stay on the top route to make it the the exit
>Revenants and mancubi that teleport in and pop from a monster closet near the exit, and an archvile that's chilling around the corner and waiting
>Multiple teleport traps where enemies on the lower area with teleport to the top area, usually right behind you
>Exit door is hiding a baron and a dozen explosive barrels behind it
>Always pretty tight on HP and ammo (even had to resurrect a few times)
>This was all on HMP
I may have been playing with a laptop mousepad and arrow keys but god damn I was fucking ruthless back then.
