if i had to pick i'd say this is probably my favorite moonblood level. it might be a little on the gimmicky side, but it's a cool idea and i like it. the idea is that there's a cyberdemon wandering around the level - but instead of having free reign, there are teleporters that take it between three different platforms. this makes it much harder to, for example, lure it in front of a cliff it can't shoot over. it's best to deal with it asap... but there's only about 16 shells in the starter building so you're going to have to go on an adventure. i like taking care of the really obnoxiously placed archvile first so that the west side of the map is less unfriendly; this also gives you a plasma. then work through some of the nearby buildings building up ammo until you're ready for the southwest building. this is easily the most dangerous part of the map as it's dark, full of crushers, and drops three archviles plus a baron on you at close range. you do get a bfg though which is nice, although i stuck with the plasma against the cyberdemon, as otherwise you're tiptoeing on a very small platform and it could teleport away before the bfg ball hits. once the cyberdemon is out of the way, there's a bit of cleanup to be done in the north area, but the finale is pretty spicy. dropping down into the last room traps you between pairs of mancubi and barons on one side and a bunch of revenants on the other. thinning the numbers of the revenants with the bfg helps, and then i ran to the far side to clear out some of the remaining monsters and chewed through the remainder of the revenants as they ran up the stairs.
