Hey guys, you've probably noticed the editing is very bare-bones on this one. Unfortunately, the original mp4 was borderline unusable when i loaded it with my usual editing software(possibly because I recorded it all in one session), so due to time and location constraints I opted to do a basic cut job with TH-cam's built-in editor, which was....less than fun to say the least. Needless to say...apologies for the lower quality(Roastie had to take the day off :( ) and I'll make sure this is just a one-off!
Thanks for playing my map! I thoroughly enjoyed all the commentary, and don't blame you for having to cut out some exploration. In retrospect this map is too long and far too convoluted to make for a straight-forward playthrough. I've learned my lesson, so my submission for RAMP 2024 (map 185 A Hard Day at the Hard Day Factory) runs at around 20 mins with only 2 secrets. There are 2 Rocket Launchers - technically out in the open (i.e. not secrets). You are staring right at it at on the rock 08:43. The other is in the pit below the caged Cyberdemon (24:00).
I generally think the chainsaw is obsoleted by the berserk, much in the way the pistol is obsoleted by any other weapon in nearly every situation. The chainsaw in gzdoom ports (not sure if other ports) has a disabled function to give armor bonuses with it's attack. That would give it good utility and likely inspired it's purpose in Doom 2016 & Eternal. I messed with the zscript to give it longer reach and double attack rate, and the weapon takes on a whole new life; the resulting weapon stun-locks anything other than barons, knights, and cybers but leaves the player vulnerable due to even more pull-recoil, so it eliminates just about any foe for free but you basically can't do anything else in the mean time. Other de-hacked wads have a great re-interpretation of weapons, like Valiant's chaingun & pistol. But in my opinion, it's a deliberate nuisance to place a berserk and chainsaw in the same map.
not sure why people hate the chainsaw, i think its great. berserk is awesome, however; chainsaw is a good backup to have. if those two had different key binds or something to swap to each weapon, perhaps would make people cringe at the chainsaw?? we'll never know!
