This marks the point in the game where I start to find secrets while trying to just finish the damn level, while being a 3% health.

After killing everything here, I always spend a few minutes wandering back through the rooms to look at all the corpses and reminisce on all the hectic carnage.

I never minded this map except it eats so much ammo. Fun fact: this map already existed in the early alpha versions of Doom 1.

My first time in here: "Oh thank god its almost ove...." *gets telefragged by the cyberdemon*

A truly stunning but difficult map in my opinion, designed back in the days by Tom Hall! Maybe that's why it's so hard and ammo consuming... I think this level had been designed for the first doom, but never included in the original game, and completed in some way by Sandy Petersen. You play very well as usual, to me it was hard to complete.

This was always my Favourite map, I have just bought Doom2 for the PS4 and have enjoyed playing it all over again!

Glad there's solid walkthroughs of this game out here

not enough fukkin ammo

Missing the yellow key in this map is Never A Good Thing.

"Okay, it seems to be 'everything is all dead'."

So many secrets. Too many in fact

It's all down to personal taste of course, but it's hard for me to accept that anybody anywhere doesn't think this is the pinnacle of Doom \ Doom 2 levels by miles. That said your playing style is different to mine; For a 'shotgun sniper' that likes to alert and pick them off one at time, then duck behind a wall peeing there pants before plucking up the courage again, this level is just total, total excellence. Thanks for uploading the playthrough - very helpful reference for getting all the secrets on what is my first playthrough of PC Doom \ Doom 2, after playing the PSX port many years back. (PC version is a better game, but oooh what a mercy to be able to replace the original score with the PSX ambient soundtrack in GZDoom!) Cheers BMD, Cool stuff !!!

Haven't played this since I was a kid...miss it quite alot, good to see it is still being appreciated though :) keep up the good work

I never understood why they stack three secrets on top of each other. It's as if they just did it because they could

Pretty challenging yet fun map. The amount of secrets is a bit annoying and so is the wandering enemies.

10 points to that imp at 9:29 who dodged the SSG. Also, haven't played doom for over 20 years, and getting into it now I found your channel. Really appreciate your vids BMD. Love your style

I love this map, simply because of how chaotic and intense it can feel. Great video as always! I enjoy comparing my own strategies for beating the map with the ones you present.

Playing this map for the first time without watching a walkthrough like this before, leads to frustration when you discover there's a cyber demon behind the blue door, so you run away and open the yellow door and the cyber demon is still there, so you quickly try to open the blue door behind the yellow door hoping to hide and find a good place to fight it, but the teleporting bastard is also behind that one! And then you die. Well, good to know there's a secret leading to this guy with invulnerabilities inside...

So many secrets, so little time, and so much chore! At least the music (The Demon's Dead) plays in the background. I love the whole infighting thing! Anyway, nice video. :)

I always end up waking up the revenant in the first room which kinda throws me off a little

just started playing doom about a week ago. i downloaded them all on my xbox. i played one before on the OG xbox but that was soooo long ago. im having a blast running through these games though... thanks for the helpful videos m8, and thanks for never ending a sentence in a preposition. a true american.

I had such little ammo to start this mission and no BFG! Without this walkthrough I would have been totally boned. Thanks Mac!

Love your walkthroughs definitely helps me cause I have not played this on my xbox in a few years, found almost all but one secret by myself on ultra violence difficulty. Hardly had any ammo but just had to use my chain saw a few times but I was able to make a comeback

This map is ok it's has plenty of enemies, it's too dark in some spots and I usually arrive to this level low on ammo which is kinda annoying.

The UAC walls tripped me up, took me forever! Thank you

Great walkthrough helpful and well explained as always

That's a pretty good assessment of the map I'd say. Every problem I'd find was addressed here. While I don't exactly agree with the assessment of Tricks and Traps, I do agree with this one as well as the last. All and all, a good walkthrough though. The channel came up when I entered in Tricks and Traps. A good channel and sub worthy. Thanks for the uploads!

Oh how I remember this map. I was playing Brutal Doom mod first time and facing those Pain Elementals I thought "I just run up to them and BFG them to death" turns out Pain Elementals cause massive damage when exploding when you killed them in Brutal Doom causing me to die...

So THATS where the blue keycard is! I shouldn't have to look up a walkthrough to find it! Thanks man this was really helpful. I also didn't know about the megasphere either.

Thank you for gameplay. I love this game and this music.

Your're the law, I have played all Doom II & never had passed all the secrets, thanks very much

I went that map straightly through but you are a super strategist! Your way appears to be easier!

Very well done and very well explained again! You have so much skill!

So many zombies, imps and secrets! Getting them all is very tedious indeed! Well, you're finally done with the bad maps! For now at least........

This is a funny map. I finished it yesterday on UV from a pistol start without saving after a zillion attempts. Enemies come from all around you so you have to be careful not to wake them up early. You have to kill the pain-ass elementals as fast as they wake up oherwise the lost souls will toast you. You also have to preserve ammo by using berserk fist and infight when possible. You must use the night vision wisely, this map has many dark areas. Agree about the (too) many secrets. BTW your walkthroughs are fantastic! (looking forward to HL2 ep 1&2, when you find the time)

Trying to find secrets/ hidden ammo. Having trouble with this map. So many damn hordes. Your videos are awesome. Actually watch a lot of yours to get tips and tactics. Fun to watch

thanks man! i was having alot of trouble with this level, but the video helped alot

Holy crap, I was so low on ammo using the Project Brutality Zandronum mod, I was panicking alot so I had to resort to this walkthrough. Thanks alot!

Why is this actually called "Refueling Base" - it rather drains your ammo supplies big time! 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.

Hey Dude! so cool, how there are so many different ways to finish levels. I tried like half a dozend styles (i always ended up having no ammo, LOL) to clear the Refueling Base :) In the end I do and now I checked out how you did it. Its soooo way2different from my style :) I really like that fact! Have a nice DOOM, and I hope you had a nice time with your woman, since I felt you ditched me by cancelling the last saturdays stream! Love your streams, keep doing that stuff! Seeeya! Marc from Germany! "MEIN LEBEN!"

I've been trying to play that level with a "Pistol Start" on Ultra-Violence. Frustration City. Every time I think I've finally made some headway, I get ganged up on and slaughtered. I'm thinking that I'll stop playing Doom until I get an optical mouse, and then I'll come back. :3

The music plus the game make this the most Doom Metal clip on KZfaq! : - )

This level feels magical. The Cyber demon near the end makes it nail biting. That and it’s the level before the legendary ‘O of Destruction’

Great work as usual BigMacDavis, you hit the nail on the head, the map design is ok but way toooo many secrets it does take the fun out of it! I remember playing this map in my early days and thinking that the amount of secrets in it was cool and a little exotic but the older I get the more annoying it becomes but at least to obliverate the cyberdemon takes the edge of tedious secret gathering. Thanks for the shout out you are very kind and I am stoked from your kind words! Looking forward to Circle of Death another one of the classic maps of Doom 2 genre!

love your videos, bigmac. Ever try playing doom with the fast monsters option? It makes me ragequit so hard

i keep coming back to this walkthrough, you are the real doom guy! do you have an idea of how many times did you finish doom2 in your life?

HEY BMD KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! YOUR WALKTHROUGHS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaah my personal favourite from all of the D2 maps. The room with hitscanners lurking in every nook and cranny is pure unadulterated joy to blast through with a pump shotgun (I personally prefer it to the chaingun, as it introduces a few new tweaks to the combat, although the chaingun definitely makes more sense). P.s. Just finished watching. I can totally see your point of view - for a completionist, this map can and will be a chore. I myself play rather sloppily when it comes to secrets, so to me this map is just a giant hunting ground with some cool challenges - especially when doing a pistol start. Anyway, great vid good sir.

i always run through all the rooms alerting monsters and let them infight... its funny and i spend less ammo... but i can be a pain in the ass with those pain elementals and lost souls...

Big Mac Davis You Know I Want To Tell You That This Was Actually My Most Favorite Doom 2 Level Beginning At The Very Age Of 11 When I Had First Began Playing Doom 2 On My Own For The Very First Time And That The Refueling Base Is Also One Of The Most Exciting Levels To Engage In Some Of The Heaviest Battles From All Around Every Single Corner Of This Specific Map Everywhere I Look When Venturing From One Particular Area To The Very Next That Is ! 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

Thank you, I can pass the first 11 levels at 100 per cent. You tell the things very slow but so entendible. 👍

7:33 Weird. Blue door. Yellow key inventory.

ur 1 of the best gamer walkthrough............THANK YOU!

This is one my most favoritest maps ever but the amount of enemies is insane

Nice vid BigMac! 20% cooler? More like 100%!

Spasibo my dear comrade

When the Doom Guy grabs the BFG, you already know there will be Pain Elementals soon 😉

3:05 "Since they are very annoying" LOL

Thanks a lot for the walkthrough videos. I'm playing this on Xbox 360 on the same difficulty but ammo is a big problem for me. I have pretty much 0 ammo in all of my guns. :(

First level that I had to look up all the secrets not because I wanted a 100%, but because I simply wanted to complete the level

What do you say to the dead? Will you forgive me for living?

Unfortunately I had to make the walk of shame on this level and cheat because I had absolutely no ammo for this map. Call me a loser if you want I could not go anywhere when I had no ammo and pain elementals.

Im Glad that u came back jeff ^^ I dont want to be an annoying person but maybe u should start with HL Blue shift or max payne 1-2 series?

Fuck! That's elegance itself! ¡Gracias, maestro!

Hey BigMac, is there a possibility that you play Blood 1 from 1997 in any near future? Thanks, love your videos!

I tend to prefer the maps with large open areas but one thing about it is a severe lack of ammo. You burn through it all in the beginning, then get to a room with 75 monsters and its like "dude, wheres the F'in ammo"! If you dont have a supreme strategy like BigMacDavis you can do idkfa and still soon end up barehanded against some quite formidable opponents.

Bigmacdavis, I just love your videos, PLEASE make a video of Deus Ex: Human Revolution 100% walkthrough

Thanks for the walkthrough. Actually, for some reason I don't like the maps between Refueling Base (nr. 10) and Suburbs (nr. 18). Before and after are awesome. And Wolfenstein and Grosse ofcourse.

Damn playing this on Gameboy Edition is tuff but who has the gameboy anymore? I got tye emulator and downloaded this map im playkng it on Hurt me plenty I always get lost in the maps so I come to your videos and Find my way out,. I love your Doom 2 Walkthroughs becuz you dont swear Or say Sexual Things in the Dialogue. Ita nice hearing someone Talk Normal and and saying these dumb new worxs thats people are making up. Your walkthroughs are very helpful especially when the secrets are right in front of me.

THE MUSIC IS AMAZING IN THIS LEVEL

I totally forgot about that Cyberdemon teleporting in once you go through the yellow door. I ate a rocket on my most recent attempt and had to start over. Just my luck!

I came to this video simply because I wanted to check something and I knew it was one this map a bunch (what the logo was all over the stuff, couldn't remember was UAC) and what I have to say.... I ended up watching the whole video and I couldn't help but think that the narration was like I was watching some kind of new employee training video, you just had that kind of sound going on lol

This is the map where i stopped being able to finish the levels on Ultra Violence on my own without some help from walkthroughs. It really comes down to running out of ammo because im not finding the secrets. I came into this level on my first playthrough with 12 shells 153 bullets and 14 rockets. So i very quickly ran out of everything when i triggered all the enemies all at once running around looking for ammo

Ive been playing along with these videos but haven't careful enough with ammo. Now I'm here and afraid I'm going to have to start over because I dont think this one can be done with the chainsaw. Not by me anyway

I swear when I try to use the super shotgun it only kills one demon at a time, even when I'm in a room full of them. I'm using gzdoom and the brutal doom mod, so maybe it's a glitch idk

how is this thing called? pain elemental? an are they summoning lost souls or do they come out of them when they die?

I've played this map twice in a row and I missed 4 enemies both times. I got all 18 secrets and triple checked the entire map, but couldn't find the last 4 enemies. Yes I checked the secrets again to make sure no lost souls got trapped. So what could be the problem? Any idea?

it's odd how at 7:33, you notice it requires a blue key, however at 7:45 you were able to open it, doom 2 has messed up on this map for that part LOL. I guess they think if you were trapped from the secret they had no choice... But this map had too much enemies despite the name of refueling base. Can't wait for the next video.

bigmacdavis your vids are just too awesome to miss. Keep up the good work!

Saludos desde México eres genial (masterdoom)!!!!

I'd like to see you playing this level starting only with de regular gun ;)

Darkyeti sounds like a full aussie, also just wondering whats happening with the narration of the doom novel, besides all that great video!

This map is my favorite map so intense

Speaking of Memento Mori, have you ever thought of doing a walkthrough on a fan-made Megawad?

you should do marathon walkthroughs, i don't know if you've ever played that

I'm only now, in 2021, playing Doom 2 for the first t ime and this one is killing me. I didnt get through The Pit in very good shape and man am I blowing ammo like crazy here.

Hey idk if you check any comments from now but that cyberdemon area ....that's a blue door you go to when you finish with him. You don't have the blue key yet. So what's up there.

The previous two levels had depleted my ammo. I have been trying to go through this with the chainsaw and some clever dodging. Pain elementals are reallly the least pleasant thing abiut this game so far.

All ways loved your name. Reminds me of a late 1980's rapper name.

I actually had a lot of luck sticking to the start hallway. I would run out lure a couple guys towards me, hide behind the wall and chainsaw them to death. It was slow going but I used maybe 16 bullets.

Brutal Doom replaces most of the invisibilities with bound Marines, whom you can free and they'll fight with you. Very very handy. One of them beat me to the big dark garage room behind the blue door and slaughtered everything before I got there. So I was able to use the second invulnerability to take out all the imps and the arachnatron in the next room.

Ah good ol times! Even so this music here really isn't that bad! Project Brutal for this remake theme is even better I say!

Thanks!

How do you get the blood splatter and bullethole

How come the revenant didn't open the door to shoot you at the beginning of the level?

I came here because I couldn't find enough ammo either, found the non-secret door on my own but had no idea the pillar lowered haha

This has been a huge help thanks!! I have doom 2 on the Xbox 360 on the xbla. It's different a little but that's cause I'm playing it on the lowest difficulty lol. Thanks for the guide

This is like a slaughter map with how many enemies are in it.

In this level i have 2 revenants in the left halfway? In the beginning of the level.

Ive lost so much ammo on this one map but sometimes the monsters will infight but the pain elementals make it worse when you are super low on ammo.
