I played through a bit of the level, nice use of the gray, isn't seen much in Doom 2 maps. Did notice that some of the crates had the wrong floor texture though.

the action was rough and hard. I never ran out of ammo, and the level looks sweet with the 3d floor effects http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

nice use of lighting and declorations...

noticed some tutti fruiti on the small crates and on a silver texture with uac on it.

I also didn't find any rocket laucher http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smilies/cwm6.gif but thats not that big of a deal http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smilies/cwm12.gif

in conclusion, I give it a 9.3 http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/icons/icon14.gif

I love the look of this wad, lots of nice details (not too many) nice use of 3D floors (again not too many) good use of 'normal' Doom textures and good hard gameplay. It took me ages to get past those Revenants at the big room with the green slime pool and the teleports, I must have got killed about 6 times there. I thought the exit was a wee bit evil but I was expecting trouble anyway.

To Kaiser, if you go back to the crate room where the rocket launcher is the crate should lower itself if you press the spacebar on it, this only seems to work once you have completed that area and use the switch which is upstairs from there.

I played through the map, and here is my two pence worth...

The design itself is quite good, but there are several bugs that detract a bit from the gameplay. I noticed tutti-frutti bugs in some areas (esp. the storeroom with the craates), mismatched textures on the crates in the same area, and several node leaks.

I was unable to find the mismatched textures you were refering to I have however fixed the textures on top of the crates. I did try to fix all of the node leaks but as far as I was concerned I had found them all. If you could let me know where they are I would appreciate it. I will upload the new version tonight.

Looks fantastic Face! Lots of great little touches which for me really make or break a wad. Nice use of colored sectors, nice switch setup, lots of variance in height, lots of curvy bits...

I give it a 9 out of 10 (just cuz I never give anything a 10) http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/tongue.gif

Did anyone find all of the secrets including the second exit. I made two exits. They both goto the second level but one is a bit sneaky.....Well I thought so.

Thats good to hear, playing Spone2 has also inspired me to make some 'proper' single player maps instead of my usual hybrid DM/SP efforts, I should be introducing one or two very soon in this forum.

Please note:
If you want to write a review for a wad specifically posted here (such as this one), the idea is to post it here on the forums, not post a link to your site.
Please remember this in the future.

Ditto, I'll just not review any more wads. No bigee.

If you want the reviews that exclusive, why not have a section under the NewDoom website? The review was a bit lengthy for a forum post.

I usually use the Rant & Raves section anyways because most of the time it's a Quake map, when it is Doom, it's a work in progress. The one map I did post here got 1 reply.

Let's get this straight:
This section is for Doom Wad Reviews, was created by special request, and takes cooperation for it to work.
Otherwise, we may as well not be doing it.
Rants is not the right place to post Doom Wad Reviews, and neither section is appropriate for posting a link for said review on another site.
You can post Quake map reviews, or whatever, in Rants, of course.
End of discussion.
