: I (as usual) got hopelessly lost in this level the first couple of
: times I played it but replaying it for volunteers I finished it in
: probably about 3 minutes. It's actually very easy to find your
: way about if you have a decent sense of direction.

You have me beat if you can do it in 3 minutes! There are a lot of enemies on the way back up and I can't take them out that quickly.

: I never use the map mode because it can be confusing and
: it's best not to use it for this level. Head up, then head down;
: that's about it.

Do you mean you never use the map mode at all or you never use it on this type of level. Map mode is practically useless in a level like this one because there are too many superimposed layers - you just can't tell which layer you're on and what things are on what layer. For most levels, however, map mode is invaulable - particularly in finding secrets. In the scenario D-Day, there is a place on the map on the first major level with the label "There is a secret door in this room". If you don't switch to map mode, you'll likely miss the door and miss getting the fusion pistol, which is a goal for the level. D-Day is clever with this - if you fail, you actually have to repeat the first level.

: It's not as hard as it sounds. Really.

I didn't say it's hard - just easy to get lost. But if you do take the time to explore, those 2X shield regenerators make the start of FUD much easier.
