Description             : A community made Episode 2 replacement for 
                          Ultimate Doom, sequel of the (highly 
                          acclaimed?) Deadly Standards. 
                          Again, the only limitation is to create a

                          (graphics, sounds, etc.), with the only
                          expection of new midi soundtrack.

    MAPLIST

(stolen from DMP2015 textfile yolo)

E2M1 - Outpost Lima Charlie by Liberation and Crunchynut44 (minor edits by Daimon)
New Music (if any): doomsong1.mid by unknown author
Build Time: Way to long
Description:  A techbase that is falling apart as hell leaves it mark.
Tested with: Prboom, GZD.?

E2M2 - Vulpine by Capellan

Description: It's got crates and vines in it.
And STONE2, because this is episode 2 after all!
Build time: Does this actually mean anything for stuff that's not a speedmap?
New music (if any): "Mars Monolith" by Dial-up for murder
Tested with: PrBoom+ 2.5.1.3, plus whatever anyone else played it with

E2M3 - Ore Refinery by The_Slovinator

Build time: About 26 days
New music (if any): Default track
Tested with: Crispy DooM 5.1
Description: I tried something different from the map I made for the first Deadly Standards.
In this one, I gave player multiple choices in the beginning. Basically, I made it non-linear & tested every way you can beat the level with pistol-start & hopefully, I managed to balance things out. Enjoy!

E2M4 - Underground Prison by Walter "daimon" Confalonieri

Description: A large complex including a precedent speedmap layout i did years ago,
lots of cool vanilla doom trickery including a swinging door and invisible floors!

New music: "Technical Diffilcuties" by Jimmy

Tested with: chocorenderlimits, crispy doom 3.2, zandronum 3.0

E2M5 - The Star Child by NeedHealth and Walter "daimon" Confalonieri

Description: A big map remeinscent of Ultimate Doom E4M4 (maybe for the square layout and for the huge covering of BROWNHUG textures everywhere), is a large bizzare canyon-like construction where wild lifeforms surrounded some sort of human outpost. Also, it's all surrounded by seas of toxic waste. Be careful to choose the right path!
The "Star Child" from the title is the cyberdemon, according to NeedHealth explaination.

Build time: almost a year (!) on and mostly off.
