Finally I see a GOOD use of the berserk in a map. Place it *a little bit* behind the SSG, so you still have to use it for a while, but not for the entire god-damn level! Loved this map - short and full of monsters, and the difficulty certainly escalated since Map 01.

Running to the super-shotgun and getting past the first 3 rooms alive is quite an ordeal. To do that, I had to make a few safe kills before the yellow key - namely the first hitscanners, and the first 2 pinkies. After that I just ran to the berserk, past the yellow door and towards the SSG while punching. After grabbing the SSG (and the blue armor) the level gets easy.

This route is basically the UV Max route by Joca64 (current record is at 1m28.69). The route itself is quite fast, and using the 3 rockets at the end at the monsters grouping behind the closed door is a brilliant move. Obviously all of this is more difficult to pull off, and more deadly with fast monsters. But with a bit of grinding, it's possible to survive and pull it off almost as fast.

My pistol start was pretty slow, I missed a couple of SSG blasts, and there were many small movement imperfections all around. Therefore, I think this time can be lowered still. But I'm not sure if it's possible to bring it under 1m30; or even beat the UV Max record. Maybe with a lot of luck, who knows?
