I'm having doom 1 episode 2 flashbacks again. Here we are at Zone 300 map 3, where the highest DPS weapon is the berserk... and no super-shotgun, at all. If punching pinkies in episode 2 was bad enough, imagine doing it with FAST MONSTERS. The TURBO PINKIES are relentless, and once you get in range to punch them, they are in range to bite you. You have just a few milliseconds to land the punch and BACK AWAY before you get damaged like hell (or killed).

Beside that, there's no armor in this map, and after you go up the lift, there's barely any health. The best way to survive upstairs is to delay picking up the berserk, and get it just before going up, so that you have 100 health at that point. This means dealing with the ground floor with almost no medkits. Many deaths happened there.

After going upstairs, the first room is not too bad because you can use the hitscanners to hit the pinkies in the back, which helps killing them. After pressing the button however, all hell breaks loose. There are so many pinkies coming at you that you need to punch them. At that point I had about 45 health which meant that 2 bites = death. And there were a LOT of turbo-pinkies to punch. I managed to survive somehow.

After that you get a supercharge, which makes the final room easier. But the real challenge is at the exit door. 3 more pinkies to punch, and 1 of them teleports behind you. It's easy to get trapped and killed. At this point I was again at about 45 health, which meant that 2 bites = death. This ending
fight was horrible, and slow, but I ended up being very lucky and surviving. Since the ending was bad, I couldn't believe that I actually managed to beat, not only the UV Fast record, but also the UV Max record (1m26) by 1 second, with this time.

Obviously this time can be beaten even further, especially by improving the last fight and doing it faster. A warning though: this map is brutally unforgiving. Expect to die many, many times.
