Hey everyone! Before I start with this week's MOTW, I would like to say that we officially broke the record - 20 maps released in a single week! That's astonishing! There were all kinds of maps - short and long, hard and easy, ones that took use of the editor's mechanics and simpler ones where you merely had to kill stuff. But alas, we can only show one at a time. It was hard to choose only one out of twenty, but here you have it. This week's Map of the Week is "Out Of Time" by Puddin788. The main feature of the map only appears for a few seconds at best - and that is abusing how the player entity in a certain state. I'd rather not spoil how it works, but it's pretty staightforward once you start the level.
The level itself is a nightclub infested with skeletons and freshly ashified vampires. With said vampires being dead, the level gives you a kickstart by offering powerful weapons, such as the Combat Shotgun and the 10mm. Don't get too spoiled, though, for the level isn't getting any easier with those (well, maybe a bit).
After dealing with pesky Sergeants, Technicians and Grunts you reach the top and lockpick a safe. There's also an Old World Rifle in the same room, and trust me, you'll need it. Once you lockpick the safe, you are greeted with grunts appearing out of thin air and backup consisting of Nightcrawlers and Generals coming straight at you.
Once you deal with those, you're free to go. And that concludes Out Of Time! Overall, it's a sweet level that focuses on gameplay, mainly with the game's neat unintended mechanic and a lot of strong enemies opposing you. Visually, it is also done fairly well and pleases the eye. Play it now! As a side note - the next MOTW will be a bit different, we're doing some minor changes aiming to manage MOTWs like hopoo originally intended. I won't delve into details, but I'll just say that this new format will be far less limiting.
