I don't want to seem like I am copying Dean of Doom, but my experience with Tombstone is very similar to his. Originally I did not like this map. I thought it was forgettable, and thought the start was way too mean, but that is because I wasn't used to hot starts and just liked to play slowly with saves. That's all I ever remembered from the map so it soured the experience for me. Going back to it now though, I see it completely differently. It could possibly be my favorite Plutonia map now. I haven't enjoyed a map so much in a while, it is so much better when I know what I'm doing. There is a very fair ammo distribution. There are 2 mega armors and a megasphere that allow me to tank hits and play more ballsy than usual. It is visually distinctive with the blue accent colors. The combat is challenging but fair and interesting and allows for usage of the full arsenal. The trap with the 2 archviles is the most dangerous, and I really should've died there since I screwed up my BFG shots, but I got lucky anyways. This is a great map, and would even say is a highlight of the entire Iwads as something to take inspiration from.
