Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Med-Labs and Operations
Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Essentials[edit]

Other points of interest[edit]

It is virtually impossible to get 100% kills in this map due to a shortage of ammo. 100% kills is not, however, the intention, with the aim of the map being to seal off various areas in order to keep the monsters at bay.

Secrets[edit]

There are no official secrets in this level.

Bugs[edit]

According to Justin Fisher, this level is one of two extreme cases where he exceeded the two-sided linedef limit in Doom v1.2. When viewed from a distance, the outdoor area can induce a large HOM.
