Oof. Not allowing yourself to carry the weapons over from the previous map(s) gave this Nightmare experience an extra side of Nightmare.
Absolute madman.

[@Rotfish]

This map was the first one where I kept thinking to myself "Maybe I should just carry the weapons from previous maps".
However, after a while, it turned into a sort of puzzle. "How can I get past this room?", "How can I get past this next one?". Ended up being quite satistying.

These Virtus maps are almost Copper-level hard, but in an abstract / absurd way, not hard per se. They're hard to read (texture choice / geometry), and heavily reliant on infighting / sparing use of resources. Or was it just me...
They gave me quite a lot of fun though!❤

[@Rotfish]

It's certainly not as bad, if you keep the weapons from previous maps in the episode.

[@Chuma95]

If we talk about the date the map was made and the use of the tec textures i could really say the map does not look bad, but it's poorly balanced and seem to be made for trolling.

What a boring map. Broken wind tunnel (a very basic mistake). Lots of nails but no weapons. No shells either. You start facing a shambler _AND_ a vore and have to cheese the AI for most of the fights. ZERO fun.

I'm starting to think that vanilla Quake did something different in regards to wind tunnels. Such a high percentage seems to be broken in current source ports.
Surely people didn't keep releasing maps with non functional ones, back in the day. Or maybe they did. Who knows?
