Another day, another Alien Vendetta map. Join the fun! Even if you start out late, I won't complain if you post about maps I've already finished. Just don't go over the map corresponding to the day in the month. That way you won't burn out. I've played AV about 1/3rd of the way through, but never finished it. That changes this month.

MAP02:
94% Kills
100% Secrets
0 Deaths, but I feel like swiss cheese after all the damage I took from hitscanners. Thank the Doom gods I found all the secrets.

For me the highlight of this map was the pincer attack after you get the yellow key. There's an archvile above you, but there's no way you have the RL/BFG to zerg him quickly yet. Hiding down below seems like a good idea. Then you notice the army of chaingunners on either side of you. I actually took an archvile blast to the face rather than stick around to fight the hitscanners. It was easier to mop them up when I wasn't sandwiched.

Fun fact: I'm carrying over my weapons from level to level, so I missed this health until I came back. It's locked behind a shotgun pickup I just didn't need since I had the SSG from MAP01.
