E1M2: Helicopter Bay is the second map in the Deep into the Code episode of 2002 A Doom Odyssey. It was designed by Kristian Aro (Nebula) and uses the music track "What's around the corner?" by Paul Corfiatis. In the 10th anniversary edition some geometry changes were made but the things population remained the same.

Secrets[edit]

  1. In the room with the shotgun, face to the right of it when entering the area for the first time (east) and shoot at the computer panel. Approach the north door to open the southern alcoves if you have not done so already, then enter the eastern alcove and use the lift to go down. At the end of this yard you will find a chaingun and boxes of ammo. (sector 4)
  2. Go north from the exit door until you see a silver ridge to your left (west). Press part on the wall slightly south of that ridge and take the lift down at the end of the corridor. The switch at the end of the next corridor will lower the pillar, allowing you to get a soul sphere. (sector 69)
