    I remember a similar story some time ago, of another map that was just a big arena filled to the brim with all the enemies. Part of the strategy was circle strafing the whole place while enemies killed one another, then using the ammo to deal with whatever was left. Can’t remember the map name

    The YouTube algorithm has been real weird lately. It suggested a video to me and I had no idea why until now. I watch a lot of Doom stuff, so it went off base, I just didn’t have context for it.

    It’s Coincident (the streamer this is about) commenting over a “lost” demo of Okuplok playing the map themselves. Spoiler: they do not finish it! But it was neat hearing Coincident discuss his own strategies for the map in comparison to how the creator (allegedly) approached it.

    I’ll have to watch the actual stream now I guess!
