   I see very often when people discuss their issues with map design of DOOM II they tend to bring up Sandy Petersen a lot. Just saw it now again. "I feel like DOOM II has way more problems with level design than any other DOOM game. All those Sandy Petersen maps lmao." It's really strange to me considering Petersen actually made more maps for the first DOOM game than the second. 19 out of 27. 🤷

     @dosnostalgic yeah but Doom 1 has more Romero maps and those are all bangers, but even Doom 1 kinda gets worse with levels after first episode.

     Btw, Sandy Petersen's Quake maps are my absolute favorite of the entire game. Could have used a few less Spawns, but otherwise I feel like they are a pinnacle of Quake's otherworldly abstract architecture.

     @hj @dosnostalgic Spawns... the optimal number of them is always a few less than there are.
