The marines at the start are scary, but kill 'em all with pistol. The A- rest is no problem, if you're careful and know a good route. J- Ok. In fact I even toyed with the idea of knocking this one down to medium J- myself. 19 = Medium E2M6 - A- Medium. Much ammo, health. Dark part is made easy with the light up goggles. J- But very long and plenty to go wrong. Still.. 26 = Medium E2M7 - A- Hard. Really, you're scrambling all the time on this one. It never lets up. A- Also, you must punch a lot. J- Simple level. Easier than E2M6 IMO. Actually, I'm thinking of trying this on J- Tyson :-). Really, there are two barons on the level and you can easily punch J- them to death because there are invulnerability spheres nearby. J- I rate this medium. I think the new player will have problems at the start J- simply because they don't know what to expect (two demons right on top of J- you). Then there is the big demons room. These are the only problem areas as J- far as I can see but they are very easily overcome. I'd say E2M7 is actually J- easier than E2M6 (which we both rate as medium). A- I agree with medium. 27 = Medium E2M8 - A- Easy. A Cyborg? Doing it even without the central column trick is easy, and A- lost souls can be killed with rockets. J- Controversial :-). Remember this is one of the levels that people ask about J- over and over again on the newsgroups. And even when they know *how* to do it J- you still see people saying things like "save your game a lot." 28 = Easy E3M3 - A- Hard? Most of this level would be easy, but a slight ammo problem and a A- running start make it medium. J- I changed my mind on this one and would be content to see it classed as J- medium - then we'd agree. 33 = Medium E3M8 - A- Easy. Might take a few tries, otherwise easy. Anyone should know the A- principal tactic - have them kill each other. J- Ok E3M8 - mama spider level. It's pretty short so it's easy to make lots of J- tries if you get killed. Once you know to go clockwise around the outside it J- becomes much easier. Ok it's fine by me if this is marked as Easy. Any D1M J- ought to be able to do this. 38 = Easy E3M9 - A- Medium. Starts with E3M1, easy. Then just a number of isolated battles. The A- Specter place is no problem, just mow 'em down with the chaingun. And you A- have a BFG, so the bunkhouse isn't a problem if you just run for the barons A- right away. J- Happy with that. E3M9 is no difficulty. 39 = Medium E4M1 - A- This level has a severe case of too little ammo. Even so, the Baron fight at A- the end is tight. I would put this at hard, the hardest hard. J- Well you know what I think of this. All you get is 9 health vials so you can J- hardly afford too get hit at all. On top of this you have to make every shot J- count, or you run out of ammo. A very brutal level and harder than *anything* J- in the preceding three episodes. A- Changed my mind about E4M1, it's a bitch. 41 = Hardest Final Base: Easiest 11 12 Easy 13 14 15 16 18 21 28 29 31 38 Medium 17 19 22 23 24 25 26 27 32 33 35 39 43 44 Hard 34 36 37 45 47 48 49 Hardest 41 42 46
