Hey Castle! I decided to record a play test video of this [below]. First time through the new area. I'll probably do finish the rest of the map tonight, though I have already played through it once so it wouldn't really be "virgin." I'm not sure where the best place to contact you is so I thought I'd just drop this here.
In terms of feedback, so far I'd say I REALLY like that there's even more added to the level. It could stand a couple more secrets in my opinion (as they're one of the more compelling parts of Doom for me). I died in the first lava battle, but it was my own fault for being careless; I think the balance is pretty spot on. My usual style of play is "hang back and snipe" and I kind of enjoyed how your maps pretty much forced me to furiously run and gun ... I'm just not very good at that hahah! I'm excited to see this continue to develop and if you want a beta3 playtest, let us know! :)

Oh wow awesome! I didn't see this post until just now. I am actually about to release the full version of the level!
Ill still be going over peoples play throughs of it though. Ill check it out tonight once I get the new map out. :)
I just added a couple clips to the aforementioned folder. In one clip, you can see how to completely bypass the Blue Key with one grenade jump O_O. Also, there's a way to get up in the rafters without any sort of grenade jumping, though at that point it's too late for it to advance you past anything. Might be a good potential secret. :)
In a way I am not even mad about the skipping of the blue key for speed running purposes. But with that said you wont be able to get 100% secrets or items by doing that. Really awesome find.
Side note: Black Metal those two marines are not in the level.
