doing some playtesting for Nova IV and I gotta say it's pretty funny how the longest uv-max in the set has the shortest uv-speed time

I have to echo Chair's sentiment - being the guy handing out the slots aside, working on Megiddo IV is an unbelievable honour, and I hope my share of the map lives up to the series' storied history.
Here's a few screenshots from the hub - I've already shared some of it before but w/e:

No doubt it's a hard genre to get into as a player, as scant few encounters in the IWADs give the player the tests slaughter expects them to have aced - but once it clicks for you, it's some of the most rewarding gameplay you'll ever encounter in any FPS.

And whilst this has also become more common in regular mapping as of late, slaughter also frequently uses its monster hordes more to awe the player than to kill them. Whether as a deep breath before the plunge or as an eye of the storm, these encounters do wonders for slaughter's mood and pacing.

And usually, your weapons aren't even the star of the show - more a mobility tool than a means to kill. Setpieces so grand and oppressive that your only offensive option is to turn the demons on each other, with your weapons only carving a path through them, are a cornerstone of slaughter mapping.

But if the mapper hands you a BFG, it's likely that you're about to waltz into a fight so hectic that the weapon's potency is the only thing staving off certain, probably instant death.

This paradigm is also reflected in what weapons the mapper gives you - your primary weapon being the rocket launcher amplifies the danger of dense, claustrophobic combat encounters, and makes otherwise unassuming enemies like Imps, Pinkies and Lost Souls into threats not to be taken lightly.

Yet you can also render slaughter with surprisingly few monsters. Combat Shock 2 MAP02's final fight has three demons, but their placement and selection makes it as constricting and punishing as any thousand-revenant deluge.

Maps with thousands of monsters can be just regular, non-slaughter maps. Eviternity II MAP32 clocks in at over two thousand demons, but (maybe unless you're on the Evi2-exclusive Annihilate Me! difficulty) you're always given the freedom to move and fight on your own terms.

So you know how four megawads dropped yesterday? I may or may not have contributed maps to two of them...
