This map has 127 health and 48 armor bonuses, 26 medikits and 10 stimpacks, a berserk and a soulsphere. That was VERY generous of Mr. Petersen.
This map has some Tom Hall vibes
Nerd! 😂
@@rokaiking666aiyeah it IS good, thanks for noticing
@@rokaiking666ai If it was a little more Tom Hall, the bonuses would be scattered in obscure corners lol
@@IvanOdintsoff indeed my friend.
Two sweet features in this level - one is the courtyard itself, of course (and the big battle in it); the other is the variaty of rooms with different gimmicks in them - it's almost like a sequel to Tricks & Traps.
Along with Shawn's Got the Shotgun, this is probably my favorite song in Doom 2. Both songs fit they're respective levels excellently.
The former song has a grand and epic vibe to it. It accommodates well with the simplistic absurdity of Dead Simple, it really hammers down the setup in The Citadel that there's a massive, towering fortress standing before you and that your about to storm through (or in your case, slog through ) and fits perfectly with The Living End with the map's grand scope and the fact that it's the penultimate map.
"Waiting For Romero to Play" Is essentially the icing on the cake for The Courtyard and Monster Condo. Those maps honestly aren't the same without that song. It's honestly very difficult to describe the feel of this song, but it's name and origins (which the song name hints at) helps. It gives off a calm, yet wired feel, like something is about to happen, or your exploring some uncanny, abandoned ghost town and it meshes perfectly with the (seemingly) empty central area of The Courtyard and contributes massively to it's weirdness. Surprised you didn't bring the music up when talking about the level. When it comes to Monster Condo, it in general fits the dark, wooden, wide open spaces perfectly.
The Courtyard and Monster Condo honestly feel like the precursors to Mucus Flow in terms of mysteriously weird atmosphere.
To me "Waiting for Romero to Play" belongs more with Monster Condo than it does with this level (even if still feels adequate here as well).
The atmosphere in that level feels so unique... almost phantasmagoric, eteral and dreamlike. Or more so, like a nightmarish but quiet realm all thanks to the ost and the visual desing.
I got introduced into Doom 2 in 2002. I never get tired of revisiting this iconic open-space area with health and armor bonuses since.
It just feels so enjoying to return there every single time and up to this day!
It's my goto test map for modding stuff.
A fellow The Courtyard enjoyer? Wonderful. Was always my favorite Doom 2 map.
Literally some of my oldest memories as a person are "playing" this map. Always holds a special place in my memory bank.
This is probably my favorite city map, it's a shame so many people hate it, and I'm often of the same mind as the rest of the community.
I’m absolutely convinced by the end of this struggle, when you finally slay map 22 and become enlightened you will truly know *nirvana* 👁️
The blue key blending in seems to be similar idea to supercharge pretending to be blue key in Monster Condo.
I often find Sandy's maps easily the most memorable in Doom 2; you really get the Dungeon's and Dragons influences he's going for, which often give maps like courtyard, tricks and traps and Chasm a sense of adventure and peril. Which is likely easy to say given he largely made 2 out of 3 maps across the two Dooms, including Tom Hall's maps that he adjusted, but I really wished to see a WAD of just his curious creations.
There's an insane amount of pickups in the map but I always liked the idea of "hiding" the blue key in that sea of health potions. A little ingenuity there imho. When I play this map I start out by opening every monster closet and then run in circles watching them kill themselves off.
That Mancubus got rekt at the beginning, really shows how powerful turbo pinkies are.
This map always had a really underrated MIDI in my opinion, just the perfect amount of creepy to match the rooms surrounding the titular courtyard. Probably the second best map in all of Doom 2 after Map 14.
Side note: that blue key room is absolute hell with dynamic lighting switched on as all the health vials glow the same as the key.
Some of the doom 2 maps are hazy for me but this is one that's always really stood out. The courtyard here is just very unique.
This map really puts into perspective how fast the turbo pinkies are with fast monsters and on nightmare with that big open space
That is a beautiful thumbnail shot. Really captures the essence of this level.
I always remember The Courtyard as the level where you need to shoot the switch (and it seemed only the pistol was capable of doing it) to proceed with the level and that the exit is right where you arrive.
A very fun map to do when also in Nightmare Mode. I also do love this music cause it feels like your in a stealth mode when it comes to sneak attack your enemies to face. Alot of infights are also fun to watch & that's why I love this map even better. Well done sir. 😀👍That outtakes must've got you a hiccups. 😆
The first time I played this map I got stuck because I didn't know shootable switches were a thing. I was so confused.
I think everyone😂
Ahhhhh old good Courtyard and I'm with decino it's also one of my favorites maps on Doom especially the music "Waiting for Romero to Play" which really set that mood.
I too am a MAP18 lover. It's great as an infighting sandbox, manages to feel more sprawling and open-ended than it really is, and is chock full of idiosyncratic Sandy touches. Also makes a good testing map for more advanced gameplay mod development.
I remember one of the walls on the upper part rooms of the map being invisible while you are inside the room. Like a one way glass wall, it was vivid.
Always enjoyed this map. Glad to see a lot of other folks do too. The Citadel is another one I really like too. Something about the long running paths and corridors. I just love the look.
Its been a few years but I remember that blue key being much harder to see on an old VGA CRT running the original DOS Doom II
I agree- this is one of the most unique maps in Doom II. Lots of open space for epic infighting. This one and Gotcha are two of my favorites.
That Door block in BFG Secret.. wow...
Replace the courtyard imps with hitscanners and this might become the hardest Doom 2 nightmare level.
Very well done, as usual! 🫡🫡🫡
I would have thought that this level would be harder on nightmare due to the amount of demon's in that main area but I guess like with all games as long as you have a good route planned then it's not a problem also using the invulnerability power ups effectively is definitely gunner help a lot. always liked this level definitely up there with some of my favourites mainly it's the big fight in the courtyard just yeah really enjoyable level all round and with that as always cheers for upload decino
This map isn't as complex or as open as some others, but it does switch things up and throw in a couple of interesting traps.
I appreciate that you just ran away when pinkies blocked the door. I still stand my ground and try to plow through. It's a habit that's been hard to break, and it's stopped a lot of runs.
"I'll see you in the uhhh....nhhhhnnn...nnnngggh..... Citadel" More like the shi- nevermind
All those pinkies, all those items. What a glorious challenge and victory!
"Waiting for Romero to Play" with old sound chips / OPL is the most beautiful track of all dooms
1:15 you mean very chaotic oportunity for a infighting moment 🤣🤣
yeah... thats funny and the best DooM levels.
Nice run pumpkin man
I like how this devolved into a massive infighting party. Really keeps things alive.
nice block by the invisible pinky on the outtake, I didn't even see him
I've really looked forward to this, specifically the blue key room :3
This map is weird, but it's fun and has memorable setpieces, so I like it
Speaking about backpack and more spectres... I think, pinky with some carrying harness and anti-bite mask will make an excellent ammo carrier. Load him with rockets and let him follow you. Just don't allow him to get distracted for nukage baths.
Its always been one of my favourite levels. Its just so fun😊
Definitely enjoyable map. The openness of it is a big factor.
Sitting in a gas station bar, drinking Bell's Two Hearted Ale, watching the flying Dutchman straight doing it on nightmare.
LOVE this map. I remember the first time playing it, thinking all is well, no issues. Then teleport into the room with the all the enemies, instant death lol
He did it, the courtyard. Next map will be interesting to see. Way to go decino :D
Pinkies charging towards you on nightmare is terrifying, but watching them chomp other enemies to death is hilarious!
When i first got to this map i was quite suprised that there wasn't a cyberdemon encounter, it just seemes like a perfect place for something like that
What an interesting map! Pretty hectic
Another one down bud keep on👏👌
This map's name by itself is more memorable than half of Episode 4
when I saw the video, i checked the stamps and saw a tiny chunk for the outtake and I thought to myself "Probably a stupid death".. I wasn't disappointed
I love this map, I was really wondering how you would do against the pinky hordes in nightmare. I'm surprised they didn't meatgrinder you. Oh yeah, the Citadel is next, another opportunity to be destroyed by pinky hordes, have fun gathering all those items
I don't really like the Citadel too much outside of the secret area you hop over the torches to get to, but I love Shawn's Got the Shotgun. Favorite stock midi in Doom2. If you've got some audio with good bass the drums come through amazingly well.
When i first played this map i thought that there would be atleast 2 cyberdemons spawning in the big arena but it wasnt the case
One of my favorite doom 2 maps as well
I'm going to make a new variation of Doom just for Decino:
Shotgunners get a super shotgun...
Imps get a rocket launcher...
Pinkies and Revenants get a berzerk box...
Chaingunners get a plasma rifle...
Mancubis get dual-wield chainguns...
Those stupid robot spiders get a quad damage power-up...
CyberDaemon can now clip and shoot through walls...
And all enemies can steal health/armor pickups for themselves. 😁
Ninja Specter strikes again! I love this map too! But I am really waiting for the next one, Citadel!
We are getting closer and closer to map 22
And map 21.
The countryard is an awesome level.
It my favourite.
Since it introduces my favourite sountrack in the game.
Small spaces, an open area.
Has big and small monsters.
Lot of shotgun shells.
you ever stop and think about how the doom 2 intro screen says "id 8OFTWARE"
1:23 Whoa, was Doom II missing a wall/linedef/texture here all these years? I can't remember ever noticing...
The monsters are so infight happy with Nightmare aggression, it might actually be feasible to get 100% kills in a Pacifist run on this level.
One of the coolest levels of doom 2, open space but caco room not so much lol
I dunno, I always liked map 19 for it's heavy exploration and interesting routing. Well, on nightmare, it sure gonna be fun trying to explore every inch, while everything is respawning :)
I really wanted to see you do this map because of all the health and armor bonuses everywhere
Getting flushed at the end with the green piss 😂
I've always been found of the open space brawls in this map
Pinky: that's MR EATEMUP to you pal!
Ouch that death was really terrible. Got scammed by a spectre.
Fun map, basically a monster infighting party!
He loves weird! You heard him!
He does care!
This map on nightmare sounds terrifying
Finally!
Took a few seconds before I recognized it and remembered how it went. It's indeed a bit weird map, but still fun.
The ost, waiting for d romero to play, is the reason I got into pantera.
New video let’s go
The only Doom map to utilize health and armor bonuses correctly.
At the end - into the Toilet of the Gods ;)
Demons: Tee hee hee, he'll never find the key now!
Decino: The blue key flashes
Demons: T_T
My favourite official Doom map.
Love to start this map from the pistol. Epic Map.
I really like these proto-slaughter maps
This courtyard-arena makes me wanna see you try a Cyriak map (NG+ if Overboard) on Nightmare! ❤
Decino: "I like this map because its weird"
Me: " A This Love mid? Thats neat
never go in a courtyard in hell. worst experience. had demon rats
wow this map, without the invulns, fucking savage!
They should have made the blue key non flashing
Map 22 and 29 are going to be a Nightmare!(pun intended) but knowing Decino he'll beat those two hard maps with barely any out takes
haha the death at the end is so relatable for anyone who played nightmare ouch.
at the 2 minute timestamp, I had no idea that was a door, I always thought it was a crusher
Oh, a hairy texture on the walls, I wonder where it came from
This was a very good DM map back when
Missing textures: EFFIN RAW.
The weird ones are mostly guaranteed to be very memorable.
Also, I'll forgive the "cringe" if it means the rest of the map makes up for it. And besides, some patches can make it easy to be done out for.
I write through google translator. my English is not very good. but I really want to understand what you are talking about in your videos. To better understand, I have to set the playback speed to x0.75. At the same time, your voice turns as if you drank about 0.75 liters of whiskey)). I'm sorry, but that sounds so incredibly cool. every evening (Moscow time) I wait for your passage of doom2 nightmare. I watch with a shudder of my heart. for for me the "nightmare" remained undefeated. best regards, Kirill
We've got items to collect
This level has the most items of any in the WAD, Refuelling Base has the most kills and secrets. In fact across my WAD collection, NO map or level has as many Items as this one
Got busy this two days because of university, but your are not gonna get rid of me so easy
Tick tock getting close, just 4 more maps before becoming a strainer
So many blueberry potions!
This map definitely gets more stressful and crowded on nm
We need more items.
You should do a Doom 2 playthrough with dwars so Sandy can explain some of his maps lol.
I thought this map would be way harder but I was wrong.
