E2M3: Comm Centre is the third map of episode (The Collider's) New Clothes in Return to Hadron. It was designed by Matt Powell (cannonball) and uses the music track from MAP14 of TNT: Evilution (original episode) or "Crawl" by Jeremy Doyle (Ultimate edition). In the Ultimate edition this level received only one tiny geometric update (an extra switch in the eastern courtyard).

Secrets[edit]

  1. Enter the damaging blood from the south and press on the marble wall with clean gargoyle faces to trigger a lift. A plasma gun, armor bonuses, and a medikit are on it. (sector 87)
  2. From the red key, jump to the crate containing the lone health bonus to trigger a lift. Run left up the steps and turn north to the megaarmor and rockets before it closes. (sector 286)
  3. In the hallway leading north to the blue door where the exit is, look to the northeast and shoot the switch to open a nearby compartment with stimpacks and a switch. Go southeast after you flip the switch to the big room, where the north wall lowers revealing a secret room with energy cells, armor bonuses, a soul sphere, and a computer area map. (sector 118)
  4. At the westernmost room with the switch to open the southernmost rooms, the south wall has a recessed part you can use. It will open up a secret room to the northeast with partial invisibility, armor bonuses, stimpacks, and boxes of rockets. (sector 217)
