  You have no idea what you're talking about. In Doom there's one map. Each
sector within that map has a floor and ceiling height defined (among other
things).
  In Duke, you can have multiple levels, the staircase to the projector room
is a good example. It only overlaps itself once, but 3dRealms has commented
that more overlaps can be done but it is extremely detrimental to game
speed.
  Note that the bridge on level one, the broken rope bridge in the abyss,
the mesh floors in the launch facility *do not* qualify as multilevel areas.
These are objects within the game, much like you can stand on top of a soldier
with a rocket pack and get lifted into the air.
  If you look at the building rooftop where you start in level 1, falling down
that shaft brings you to a new map, the rooftop is a separate map. Using this
seamless map joining technique you could generate something like multiple
interior levels of a building.
  Wait for the full release when the map editor comes out. There will
definitely be some interesting levels.
