A slaughter map is a style of fan-made Doom level where gameplay is centered around fighting large hordes of mid-tier monsters.
Plutonia MAP32 and punishr.wad are cited as some of the earliest examples of a slaughter map. Most slaughter maps feature large arenas; large numbers of monsters typically attack in hordes, and the player is forced to apply "group management" techniques to attack groups numbers of monsters together. This necessarily requires the use of high-level weapons such as the rocket launcher, plasma rifle and BFG9000.
