This map ends a lot of "I'm gonna beat doom 2 in one sitting!" impulses I get every so often

This is the map that burns out most doom 2 newcomers. It's got way too much stuff in it. First time I played it, when I got to the lift-stairs I was thinking "Won't this map just end already?!"

I hate this level. The only thing good I can say is that the music is awesome.

Yeah I agree with you on this map. The amount of lifts, pain elementals and lost souls is annoying but there is something else. It doesn't feel like a finished map to me. Something feels a bit tacky and unappealing but I'm not sure what it is.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks it's a shit map

Man, I really like your style of beating these levels - it's like dancing, precise and effective :)

So many Lost Souls and Pain Elementals! That makes it quite annoying...... I also dislike that room with the elevator stairs! Thankfully you're done with this!

My sister is currently playing this level and my search brought me to you! Thank you so much!

Hey, that's a good idea how to raise the bridge around the rocket launcher, I didn't know about that. I always run and jump onto the platform with the RL. And thanks for the shoutout :-)

Where would I be Without BigMacDavy? I'd be totally stuck on my game. My ps3 and I rendered quite lame. But thanks to this man with the lovely voice I am now able to have the choice To continue the fight in Doom Two. Thank you! (Got into a knot after the switch room).

Man, I am on this level and I seriously hate this map. So difficult. Thank you for this tutorial, really helped me A LOT! Edit: I still can't get past this!

I though i was the only one saying to myself "Damn not this map again ! Ho well i have to do it to progress and beat the boss so let's get this over with" lol Once again good video with helpful tips :D Well done :D

Doing 100% on this map is a pain of the first order because of those teleporters in the rising and lowering stair room

I wish you had been there when I first played this game in 1993. You made me download all Doom games serie from Steam, and thanks to your walkthroughs, I enjoy to play those games again. Thank you fot those videos, it is a pleasure to have you in front to meet those monster.

"make a pit stop" niiiiiiiiiiice

Excellent walkthrough! Your voice is really clear, and you show AND tell at the same time. very good.

Thanks BigMacDavis, this level was really getting me down, back when I was 13 I would cheat my way through the last part with the elevator stairs... Every. Time. Now I'm completing the series on xbox because of the DooM reboot and I can't (and wouldn't) cheat. You just helped me complete that level legitimately for the first time ever. I have to say I am really enjoying these videos, your strategy is flawless. Thankyou very much.

Love your vids mate. Very good explanations, tips and such a lovely voice.

I've been playing this game since it came out and got stuck on this level (it has been YEARS), I think I know what I have to do and it's incredibly annoying. Great narration by the way.

Aaaahh, nothing beats a good old therapeutic chainsawing through some pescy Lost Souls!! You, dear BigMac Sir, are a true master of your craft! I have played these levels hundreds of times on UV - but everytime I watch your videos I learn some new tactics and movement patterns. The ease with which you move and humiliate the enemies is beyond comparison.

The mutual antipathy anecdote at the end incited a good chuckle or two...lol

I watched my dad watch you for years… now I’m watching you

Well done. His voice is understandable and his instructions are precise. Thank you

I like this map only because the music in it is actually used in the beginning of "The only thing they fear is you". Not only this, but the music that plays when a level is cleared is also used in the only thing they fear is you.

I'm hooked to these videos! Doom has been one of my favorite games over the last 20 years! Anyone who knows me personally know I'm all about Doom and Super Mario lol

"Sometimes the fist is fun to use" ah, i see you're a man of taste.

I love the music in this level. The level itself is extremely messy and some areas are frustrating, but I like the last room with the star of blue potions.

Honestly thank you for this. I'm doing my best to play it blind, but sometimes the obvious answers don't click. I've been playing the switch ports of 1 2 n 3 while I wait for my my pc to get fixed and it's actually been super fun

Honestly w/o this video I wouldn't of beaten this level!! Extremely difficult but thanks for the upload and fantastic commentary!

Thank you very much for this guide. Also thanks for being a chill KZfaqr.

thank you very mutch! I did a nosave walkthrough and had to restart that level several times from pistol start. didn't know that mancubi and berserk opens up if you just walk to the switch and that chaingunners appears only if you walk all way down to shotgunners in the rocket launcher room. that helped me alot

"it's like a papercut on your finger" YEP

Love your videos and thanks for the help I use to play doom a lot and your videos help me out and I’m slowly becoming better I have not played in a long time I stopped playing in 98 I was 8 years old and was a good doom player I am slowly learning all over again thanks for the advice I am 33 years old now and I can’t get Enough of doom I love it so much

Im here now! Very difficult Level! Thanks for all the tips! Love your voice! Subscribing 💜

Sometimes life's gonna get you down, Hit the ground running, take a look around, You think you found love, but you're standing in the pit. The pit. I fell in, in the pit. You fell in, in the PI-EE-IIIITTT!!

You are awesome been watching these a lot of shit I missed but super fun to replay again!!

8:05 "Now see the floor down to my left? That is our first pit stop" - I see what you did there

"A fist is sometimes fun to use"....My mind went to the gutter when I heard that!.....lmao! Unintentional hilarity!!!....I love it!....

The music from this map is one of the best from the whole game.

I remember hating this map, but you actually made it look quite enjoyable, haha. Kudos for that.

Absolutely incredibly done! Thanks so very much! :-)

I kinda like this map for reason. To me, its one of the best maps of megawad. I dont know why, but I really enjoy this map. Good work, my friend :)

I love when you fight with berserk punch ❤ It's so relaxing to see the imp exploding when you touch it :)

Thank’s for the video!!!! Awesome work!! 😁

I really enjoy this map. Any map with lots of enemies to kill is good in my book.

This walkthrough is all your loving headcrab will need to live mine is enjoying it so much!

4:39 Did anyone else see the imp corpse fly after the rockets were launched?

great video man! really helpful

Revisiting these anticipating the next drop of no rest for the living. Can't wait!!

13:36 is so funny man you made me laugh, thanks for that hahaha. nice cool voice to listen too man i cant believe you been uploading doom videos for 10 years man that's some dedication holy shit, hope it's worth your while ill subscribe man, you were entertaining and chill, me and my best mate been playing doom2 coop for past week. Put in like 70 hours or so good times x

This level is a huge step up in difficulty from maps 1-6. Maps 7-8 try to prepare you for the difficulty ahead, but I still used to always get stuck on this one, so much so that it kinda grew on me over time :)

Thank you for the video. You're very instructional. I forgot how to finish this level.

Hello, Sir, thank you for all the perfect walkthrough videos and for commemorating my childhood...:) I was 10 years old when Doom II was released. I like your commentary, I really appreciate that I can understand you every single word perfectly, because I'm not a native English speaker. BTW doesn't the chaingunner look like Kerry King of Slayer? :-)

i love the way you talk. the cadence remind me of a radio host of something

Damn you, Sandy Petersen. Pistol starting this map on UV I must've died at least 100 times. That BFG is a must. Oh well, onward to hitscan city aka Refuelling Base

I like this map more because of the music than because of itself, but yeah I still like it. I even made a remix for this map's music! So awesome!

Great music in this level . And in a next level too

Thank you so much!!!! I always disliked this level, every time i would play Doom 2 i would think twice about it because of this level. U are a legend for completing this in extreme mode, to me there is no way i could get through without dying.

What? This is one of my favourites for the tune. our order of priorities is quite different. I usually do the rocket launcher area first because you get the rocket launcher, shot gun and chaingun, 2nd is the mancubus room with the bfg

You make it look easy man, trying the same on ultra violence on gzdoom with smooth weapon mod, this map has done me in, thankyou for the guide!

At least the music, Into Sandy's City, is good in this otherwise mean level. It's kinda nice how the stupid Lost Souls infight each other to death. Also like the comparison of this level to your Spanish teacher. Anyways, nice video. Oh, and nice "Pit Stop" pun too, BTW. :)

There are certain levels in a game that you always remember. For this game, it's this level. Don't know why, don't care why, but it always comes to mind first when someone mentions Doom 2. Crazy.

Great walkthrough series here, brother. Works for PS3 BFG Edition. ;)

12:00 omg i'm so stupid I couldn't figure out how to get back to the other room. All I had to do was come up to the wall and press spacebar lol!. It's been a while playing Doom II lol!. I'm actually playing Brutal Doom makes it a bit more fun. Thanks for keeping your video up so long to help me in 2020 quarantine! lol :).

"So be careful ,they'll teleport right behind you...... and they'll charge up your ass" 10:10

my brain was literally hurting bcuz this level oops. thanx for the vid lol

To be honest, this is the one level where I wouldn't blame anyone if they resorted to using Noclip/Godmode, because this level is hot garbage. x.x

Gahhh! This map, and the next one too, just utterly fail. Still though, this map isn't nearly as bad as Map24 in my opinion. Regardless, no map stands in the way of BMD and his awesomeness! =)

Am I the only one who loves this map? There's a lot of action in it and many creatures to kill. :) I also love the different levels. But it's the one map that took me many years to solve.

Thanks Master!

Nevermind, I thought I had to hit one of those skeleton switches that are revealed for a second when the lift goes down. I was already at the exit way earlier but got cocky and wanted 100%'s then got lost trying to get back.

muy buenos tus walktroughs

Super creative level. Great.

Thx for.the help😊

I cleared the chaingunner room before figuring out the location of the BFG, and needless to say, I was pissed 🤣 I only figured out there was a BFG here because of this video!

"If you so desire" That's gonna be my senior quote

There's a guy called spidermastermind100 on Steam and he's putting your walkthroughs up too, he asked me and I said it's fine, I've been putting your videos on BFG Edition and he's been putting it on the games separately on the games themselves (plus final doom), so, thanks to him!

This map is pretty dangerous but you take care of it so effectively. At 12:25 I prefer to take the other yellow door first. That way the enemies at the other side will in fight 👍🏻

This level has my favorite music in Doom II.

I really love the music they use for this level for some reason

Ah Spanish teachers, gotta love them am I right?! Lol Thank you for uploading this, it was very helpful.

Would be so much better if the lifts weren't so horribly long, the map would have much more gameplay then waiting and that's a good thing for sure! Looking forward for MAP24 and the secret maps :P

mic davis you are awesome you help me sow much

Strange thing - I've seen some Doom 4 walkthrough for a moment and I have to tell you - it gives me much less fun than old Doom 2.

I play in skulltag this title too...Thanks!

I really need to start My own playthroughs of Doom games soon. But Great Job on all the maps so far.

4:47 at the part where I have to deal with the Pain Elementals, both of them got glitched and they couldn't spit Lost Souls

“Ok so you see a switch” Flicks switch “But don’t flip it”

Just started the game over so that I could be more conservative with ammo. I would just check and make sure I had roughly the same amount of ammo after each section. Nailed it the second time through.

Your story about your spanish teacher at the end was great. #chispas

I say, the day I take advice from a brony is the day I beat this level! Which is today. Thank you.

My favorite map of the entire game. I usually like to keep the game paused just so I can hear “Into Sandy’s City”

at 9:07 in the area that you said has nothing of interest, there appeared to be a switch just below the raising platform that you didn't hit, hidden by the platform as it raises. Is there any significance to that switch? I imagine you can hit it if you are fast enough before the platform raises.

Please can you do a doom 64 walkthrough?..that would be nice:)

Nice, thanknyou

Playing doom 2 re- released for ps4... I totally agree! I had a bitch of a time with this episode. That is why i consulted with you and your gameplay! Thanks mac!

The fist is sometimes fun to use you say, I got to try that out I guess.

Loving your commentary lol =). I've been following your guides and saving often coz i'm a scrub, but I'm low on ammo by the time I'm on map 9. Is there a map coming up soon to replenish everything? Don't want to start again =(

Will you be doing a Half-Life Blue Shift walk through?

Hey man good video, if you want something for pc that expands on any doom game is doomsday engine. It allows me to look up and down and change the controls around to my liking
