Hmmm...
To do:
Find what these maps are (if possible and not identified already) and find changes, then put it on the initial page.

Screenshots are here for personal analysis. I'm also surprised there is a good amount of prerelease Doom 2 screenshots in perfect quality taken from the 90's directly in the game; fascinating.

Identified Maps

MAP11: Circle of Destruction

I'm not sure if anything is too different here. My friend SlinkyCoil used GZDoom for looking at the maps, have a look at this screenshot if you can find anything. If not, I might delete this image.

MAP19: The Citadel

PreDoom2-MapCapture 7.GIF The floor texture is using Doom Episode 3's, the ceiling texture is using a more staticy cobblestone texture (that is likely from the same game), and the middle exit area has a ceiling and appears to be more enclosed.

MAP20: Gotcha!

This is 100% the starting location of the map. The floor texture is different, and so is the skybox as it uses Doom Episode 1's.

MAP23 Barrels o' Fun

RUN AWAY, RUUUUUN AWAYAYAYAYAYAYAYBOOM BOOM POW So many dead Pinkies.

MAP23's Barrels o' Fun. Will look later.

Maps that Need to be Identified

How did we get here, again?

I assume this is the level where chaingunners won't leave you alone at the start and there is 4 platforms and one has a Baron head which is triggered by a switch or key.

I don't know, man. Looks more like Doom 1.

Another Mancubus capture similar to the one from the existing Doom 2 prerelease page that I uploaded to, but a hallway corridor is seen after the Mancubus. I think this is the level where you enter a wood house from one of the city levels where there's a bunch of Revenants?

PreDoom2-MapCapture 5.gif

Same level?

PreDoom2-MapCapture 6.png

This looks kinda similar to MAP2, but there's a chaingunner.

This is one of the city levels where you are teased with the green armor then the platform lowers.

angy. PreDoom2-MapCapture 10.png

Too many Baron heads. What is with Doom 2 using the Baron head walls for placeholders?

PreDoom2-MapCapture 13.gif

This is a deathmatch screenshot, but mainly the maps you can play on is the main campaigns, so this map needs to be identified.

Say hello to my little friend!

No clue. There's a Lost Soul right beside the player's view.

An entirely wooden area where the early dead Revenants were with an Arch-Vile, but there was multiple shots within the same area.

Maps that Possibly Have Changes

*Scooby-Doo laugh*

Off the top of my head, I know this is THE Arch-Vile level where you first encounter him but don't remember what level. Will look later.
