Me gusta la Vanguarda!

5 what else

The new classics. Maybe not all maps were great and wad itself lacks consistency but all in all it's quality and real fun with addictive gameplay and different situations. I'd say much more but let it be short - love it! 5/5 - Demonologist

I really loved it from the start to an end. My skills aren't good enough for last few maps, but I sense that it is playable for hard core doomers. :) It is great mapset and it really deserves cacoward. 5/5 - Damned

Words cannot describe it.

Great maps Skillsaw, particularly the ORANGE episode at the end, enjoyed the Scythe 2 style clusters and the diversity in gameplay. Keep up the good work. 0/5.

two words: fucking awesome

One of the finest wads for quite some time. A masterpiece.

Fuck the map with the 13 Arch-viles in it. That was asinine HR2ish forced difficulty. Otherwise, everything else was pretty great.

Wads like these are the reason to keep playing doom year after a year

Cool stuff 5*

Great gameplay... Solid fraggin' fun.

Only the last map provides a real challenge. The whole wad surely has a good flow reminding of the scythe wads, but: it was over quickly considering there are 12 maps, and with that much ammo you basically just blast away nonstop. A good example is map 10, a huge slaughter map with 800+ monsters, but it CAN be easily done on the firt playthrough on UV. A fun and great looking wad though, definitely a must play. 4/5

Ripped music that has a consistent sound level and actually suits the levels, gameplay that felt fast and smooth and nice choices of colour makes this a serious contender for best wad of the year.

Very good!-5*

An amazing wad overall. Map3 in particular was absolutely spectacular, one of the best doom maps I've ever played, a shining gem of clever level design (the fight in the pit with the two archviles stands out in particular). I do agree with other comments, however, regarding the fact that there's way too much ammo lying around and some of the levels are way easier than they should be. Aside from this, though, this wad was a total blast and very much worth playing. 5 stars.

Best 2011 pwad. Good year for mappers inspiration.

Easily a 5* release. Very good looking and with great gameplay. -darkreaver

I enjoy the architecture and layout of maps, these are preety damn good, almost as good as maps from Unreal! But the amount of monsters is pure SUICIDE for the player :D OK, maybe in vanilla Doom it can be managed, but these maps are nearly impossible when played with Brutal Doom. "Superstructure" map is actually unplayable because of significant FPS drop in BD.

Addictive as hell gameplay with great balance throughout, great consistency. It's all so familiar yet so fresh! I had a lot of fun playing through this, it's no less than a 5 from me. Well done! -TRRobin.

Brilliantly designed layouts, great visual design, and gameplay that quickly progressed to completely kicking my ass. 5/5 even though the later maps are way beyond my playing ability. -esselfortium

Just skipped slaughter maps(only walk around after killmonsters+noclip cheat, not my taste, but they're looking good, but too bad I just lazy to finished them.:p Map 01-08 are very good and fun, musics fits maps, perfect! :D (BTW, Map13...oh nice trick, awesome! xD) 5/5 -playerlin

^ How about judging a wad without the overrated and overhyped Brutal Doom? Anyway, a legendary 5 star wad, a total masterpiece!

A very good, legendary, wad. The level flow, layout, increase in complexity and challenge all match up. Everything feels right about this wad, and I strongly advise it to anyone. The graphical consistency and themes give every map a new, fresh look. Combining that with the very solid gameplay, it's an epic map pack.

It's a Skillsaw WAD. Giving this anything less than five stars is a crime against humanity.
