Well-balanced action.	x
It's nicely balanced but some areas feel empty. They could've used a bit more intensive fights, considering the ammo supply. 3/5 - Belial	x
Shit,Shit,Shit,Shit, Shit,Shit,Shit,Shit, Shit,Shit,Shit,Shit, Shit,Shit,Shit,Shit, Shit,Shit,Shit,Shit, Shit,Shit,Shit,Shit, Shit. Oh come on, a cyberdemon on skill 0. The only thing I liked is the outdoor area at the beginning. Its was crafted fairly for a novice. U dont have to sacrifice detail for plenty monsters for it to be good. To be fair its a good attempt. I am sure his next map will be plenty better. Good Potential!	x
The action is not well-balanced. Most of this level is fairly easy and you're left with a big surplus of ammo, while there are some parts that are very hard and low on ammo. It's not that good-looking either, even for an old wad. 2/5	x
Pretty nice for a first map. The doors could have used normal textures though. 3/5	x
I liked it - COOL - I think 2 secrets can't be triggered	x
