I have to admit I'm not completely happy with this one. There are two mistakes: one, only two of the three Cacodemons in the lava wake up on my first pass, meaning I have to wait for a few seconds while the final one rises up into range later; the other, when I leave the two Lost Souls immediately following the Yellow Door for later (they float up the shaft and into an earlier area rather than staying where I could easily get them later). Why, oh why, Richard, did you not make that Yellow Door open/wait/close like all the others?

Apart from those flaws, though, this is another ridiculously active demo. Since I don't get a Berserk Pack until close to the end I have to work at putting those reload frames to good use. That, of course, means lots of darting between monsters. This makes it all the more surprising that once again I managed to not take any damage until well into the demo (2:17).

Favorite moments: a dizzying 360 degree spin/strafe (forward and backward) as I emerge from the air ducts and having exactly the right number of cells to kill finish off the Baron and kill the remaining Cacodemon.
