You can often trade health for ammo by using >a less effective weapon and taking some hits. I've started from the beginning again, and taking care to find _every_ secret passage, then I've ended up with a much healthier version (ie: I now have the chainsaw and the rocket launcher, which I missed before)... It's certainly deliberate that it's done this way, but you've gotta find out that saying "sod it, let's stop searching for secret passages" and going onto the next level is not the way to survive. I was somehow disillusioned entering level 4 with 7 shotgun shells, having run like buggery from the monsters in the last level. Mind you, I gave up playing Wolfenstein because of the tedious searching for secret passages. And if you have to find them all to finish... Smid !

And if you have to find them all to finish... Sure, but in wolfenstein there were no maps and the secret passages were SECRET. In DOOM, you have maps and the passages are usually locatable if you keep an eye open. And, if you still can't find all of them, you can use iddt. -- Does anybody really listen when I speak, or will I have to say it all again next week? ..Life is a strange thing. Just when you think you learned how to use it its gone. /Shakespears Sisters
