[Duke of Hazzard]

Yeah - I definitely don't want to insult E2 and E3's level design but the progression wasn't as well woven as in episode one, but it's par for the course for the Build games to have a fantastic shareware episode and then a 'merely' good main package (SW's shareware episode was similar, where a ton of cool stuff was packed into 4 levels whereas in the main episode it was spread out across the 20 or so levels)

The Birth did have a good base for a storyline but it was kind of a random clusterfuck of cobbled together old maps with only the start and last few levels that really carried the story on. It was still a great expansion all together though.

I loved The Birth because it was pure satire and provocation. It was the most over the top Duke had been. But its progression feels a bit like "greatest hits", I think.

I think E3 did just a good job of weaving the levels together as E1 did. Some of the levels are a little oddball, like Flood Zone being next to a bank, but it's not more weird than an isolated porn movie theatre having a hidden hallway in it's arcade that leads to an elevator in a nearby building that sends you to an isolated street with a porn shop, a strip club, and a demolition setup right in front of a strip club.

The helicopter in LA Rumble allowed them to be as flexible as possible, IMO.

Which is why if a remake of the old Duke maps was ever done, either in a full on remake of the game or a "Knee Deep in the Zdoom" style, i'd want to see the "dead ends" replaced with wreckage or destroyed tunnels/overpasses. Just to give it a little more realism.

IMO the only fault of an HRP-beefed Duke3D is that the explosion holes are unrealistically polygonal, but that's due to Build unfortunately.

Rock Paper Shotgun is fucking bullshit.

I hate to bump this and give it attention, but I just read it, and it gave me a concussion and broke three ribs. It was like a carwreck.

Also it contains a pleasant surprise, to me at least

RTCW so underrated no one mentions it, not in the first posts at least.

The SJW generation will misunderstand and not appreciate Duke3D, which is a shame.
