UAC Awards 2006 addon

If these two were the best that 2006 had to offer, then that year must have been quite a drought, huh?

Lost Facility honestly feels like a worse version of "Once upon a time...", with practically the same idea but weaker execution. I appreciate the lack of surprise spawns from behind, but overall the map was very easy and simple, with only the spider gang being a little annoying (and only because they're much more aggressive and faster in my version), and the final boss having adds that can get in the way. Still, that doesn't mean this map is bad, it just doesn't quite pull its weight. 6/10
Another map by the same author (BJA Genetic) was much more unique and cooler imo, clearly inspired by the intense shootouts of F.E.A.R., although that map is quite dark. You should also check it out if you liked the map in this pack.

Now Teh Base is quite a beast, oh boy. I was already warned by the fact that it was listed in a hardcore category on a Russian map-sharing site, and for good reason. This map kicks butt, it offers a lot of challenge, and it took me several tries per each combat encounter, all in the good spirit of the original Doom experience under D3's flavor. The map itself is pretty bland though, at best it's just a backdrop for the action. The Cyberdemon boss is a joke, but what follows is incredibly cancerous, though I have to admit it was unique and so rage-inducing that it paid off after I finally defeated it. Hats off to anyone who can play this on Veteran with faster monsters without dying. The map also seems to have some kind of weird script mechanic with the terminal that I couldn't figure out. 7/10
