List of levels which are missing from the original Painkiller + Battle Out Of Hell addon

[PorcusGrunzus]

Hey Painkillers,

Probably everybody knows that PK HD misses sadly some levels from the original Painkiller + Battle Out Of Hell Addon aka Painkiller Black/Gold Edition. This is because the developers were under time pressure and just wanted to see how many people would even buy any new Painkiller games. Many levels have been later released as DLCs or Free Bonus Levels though.
I decided to make a list so everybody has a good overview and doesnt need to look through both games for theirself. Btw, I took PK HD + all bonus and dlcs levels into account. So not only the base game levels. Also keep in mind that PK HD doesnt include any levels from the unofficial games Painkiller Overdose, Resurrection, Redemption, Recurring Evil. If some levels have been altered (beside of secret locations or different pickups) I will note this.

Here is a list of levels that have been remade for Painkiller Hell & Damnation.
There is also info if the levels are in the base game or added via bonus levels or DLCs.
Additionaly there are notes if there are bigger changes in the map beside of secrets and pickups.
Also I added a list of levels that are exclusive for Hell & Damnation.

Thats it guys. If some wonder, PCFHQ was a secret Battle Out Of Hell Developer level. Not big or anything. Just a flying castle with pictures of the developers. Counted it into list anyway. Keep in mind that the list is sorted after the level from the original Painkiller and addon. Painkiller HD changed their order etc. If there are any questions or some mistakes in my list just tell me.

All this is also included in a guide which you can find here:

They added teleporters into the house and added some new rooms. Also ending fight is different. Its in general longer.

[Terepin]

Oh, right, I was thinking about Town. Sorry, my bad.

[unpunchable in the headable]

Most of the missing levels, honestly I didn't mind. As much as I love painkiller, some of chapter 4's levels were underwhelming compared to the rest. However I still enjoyed the surreal feeling to them. Forest was a letdown for the requirements, in my opinion!

Catacombs was missed for me, though. I like that level. No one likes that boss mechanic, though!

Nice thread btw :)

Yeah, forest was a letdown but I really loved its design. But it was really much work to get there with Trauma etc. Catacombs I miss too.

Would love to have Catacombs, Castle and Forest as remakes. ^^
Another DLC? lolol. Well, I dont like the DLC milking but thats still better than not getting them at all.

[Terepin]

Catacombs are boring. What I miss is Babel. Man, that ♥♥♥♥ would look great in HD!

[unpunchable in the headable]

Sorry what did you mean about the DLC bit? I didn't mention it in my post. Don't like em either, though.

[PorcusGrunzus]

Anyway, what did you guys think about the map Bunker? The only one being completely new in the game.

I really enjoyed it actually. Longest and biggest Painkiller map ever with most Monsters. Loved the WW2 Nazi thematic. No wonder that the same developers worked on Necrovision. It was noticeable playing this level. Liked the new weapon this spiked thing. Music was good aswell. Only thing I didnt like was the performance... This map has probably the worst performance of all the maps. Here it was really noticeable and annoying. Sometimes the FPS went down to 20-30FPS because of many enemy guts flying around. Also the size of the map is a reason I guess.

Never understood why some developers are not able to make a good performant game with UE3. I mean seriously, this Engine is great. Bulletstorm had level and graphic wisely more but at the same time it had a lot better performance. Actually I never had low FPS with this game. So the question is why? Probably the developers are sadly not skilled enough... Rise Of The Triad has a similar performance problem.

I agree with this 100%...odd
Catacombs was my least favorite in ALL of Black Addition AND Overdose. Babel is top 10 material.

I also found the Stone Pit pretty intriguing.

[unpunchable in the headable]

I loved the bunker! It was a pleasant surprise. I also really liked that coastal level I forgot the name of, and the revamp to the city.

[Terepin]

Ruins.

Stone Pit, Underworld and Catacombs could be put in one DLC with 3 levels that are played underground. Castle also haves something incommon with those maps. Altho it isnt an underground level, a part of it is played in the underground dungeons, and it is in the same medieval style like the 3 underground levels. Just an idea.

Would be nice seeing some more content for the game. Would definitely support it. But I doubt that this will happen. Although having all the missing maps in 2 map pack DLCs and maybe bonus levels would be nice. The last big final update was probably the last we saw for this game.
Maybe a new Painkiller game will come though.

I had a vivid dream of the true final level of painkiller about a month ago! It was called Meltdown and OMG! Trying to explain it wouldn't do justice, it'd just be a wall of text, I wish I could share
:(

*EDIT*

ok to clarify! It was a music-synchronized level like the rayman legends music levels, you have to bunny-hop through the massive place avoding everything and it gets crazier except the.. AHHH IT'S TOO HARD TO EXPLAIN :'(

[Peppins]

Great topic and guide +rep ;-)

Will be fantastic to have all levels into HD, I will pay without problem for them!!!

Will be also amazing to have the fantastic level called "Hills" (homemade) into HD
