Punisher 2: The Contest (stylised as Punisher ][: The Contest) is a vanilla-compatible PWAD for Doom II which replaces the MAP01 slot. It was designed by Dario Casali, and it features a MIDI rendition of "Sanctified" by Nine Inch Nails. It is a modified and hardened version of Punisher created specifically for a contest organised by WTF Productions (stylised as ?!WTF Productions!?).

  2. The southeast courtyard with medikits, boxes of rockets, and a stimpack counts as a secret. You can drop into it from Secret #1. (sector 17)
