'''E2M2: Containment Area''' is the second map of [[The Shores of Hell]] in [[Doom]]. It was designed by [[Tom Hall]] and [[Sandy Petersen]], and uses the [[Doom music|music]] track "The Demons From Adrian's Pen". The [[par time]] is 1:30.
This level is famous for the large "warehouse" area in the north, which was inspired by a similar warehouse in the finale of the 1981 adventure film ''[[Wikipedia:Raiders of the Lost Ark|Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''.<ref>[http://romewww.rojohnromero.com/cratemaze/ Rome.ro: Interview with Tom Hall]</ref> The warehouse is predominantly a maze of crates, designed to give a sense of space without overtaxing Doom's engine. The "crate maze" subsequently became a cliché of Doom level design.
The open layout is highly unusual for a stock map and, when the player first fires a [[weapon]], inevitably results in his being charged by [[imp]]s from all directions (there are several [[Linedef#Linedef Flags|sound-blocking linedefs]] in the room, but they have negligible effect, due to the numerous "air gaps" between the boxes and the fact that a [[sound]] must cross two such lines in order to be suppressed [http://the-stable.lancs.ac.uk/~esasb1/doom/uds/ch4_3.html#sounds]). Players who explore the maze systematically, however, will find a fair number of [[stimpack]]s and [[medikit]]s included as well.
