You can stand behind the first sergeant and he will be hit by the imps or
cacos
and then leave him to lose; get the shotgun and shotgun box of ammo and
then
do the same for the second seargent and then leave him to lose. It is then
time to take out the cacos. I usually find that with a bit of manoeuvring
you can arrange for the imps to hit some of the cacos. Sometimes the cacos
can be overwhelming. Not enough ammo can be a problem as well until you
don
the radiation suit and get the ammo in the ooze.

I find the monsters are decently arranged and I think there are decent
challenges. Some of the Barons are surprises. Finding the blue armour and
raising the central area is another trick to this level. Taking out the 12
Barons from scratch on E4M2 is hard for a beginner.

I made a mistake on my previous message. I meant E4M4 is the dullest level
out of the whole E4 series. E4M3 is very good from scratch and the initial
wave of attacks could be tough without the invulnerability. After a while
it
settles down once you have taken the stairs going down.

But did you make a mistake? Do you really mean E2M4 and E2M3?
