The Bob Ross of Doom.

"Let's alert him with some rockets." XD If you ever run for president, this should be your slogan.

Your ability to effectively explain each map and subtly alter your voice while reading Earth's message is exceptional!.... Way to keep your viewers intrigued, BigMac!....

"Sensors have located..." man, that voice was funny. I really liked!

Archvile's are my worst enemies. But all it takes is a message to take care of them. A message... with my shotgun.

I think BigMacDavis has some pretty strong vocals :d If I was a Strategy game developer, I would certainly want to offer/request BigMacDavis to voice one of the units :D

when I think of Doom2 this is the level that comes up. Mainly because if you stay idle on the main screen it shows you this level

I love this map! I tend to be a big fan of maps that have a central area with other areas branching off of it, like Tricks and Traps and The Citadel. This map has a nice flow, interesting secrets and a chance to get ahead on ammo

Dude! That arch vile creeped me out!

I got 102% kills at the end.

The switch at the end reminds me of Vic Rattlehead from Megadeth

For anyone who is playing the version where the lift behind the rocket launcher at 6:50 doesn’t appear. The way to get to the ledge with the backpack is this: Go to the center area where the red key was. From this point do a full sprint all the way to the ledge. You will make it onto the backpack area….and will be able to proceed with the level.

I recently found out, that in the BFG edition they got rid of the name O' of Destruction and changed it to Circle of Death. I like how you did the sensor voice at the end :-D

2:21 24 Years of playing Doom and never knew about that sphere.. Nice! I have to try.. now! 😎👍

I actually found that secret soulsphere a few months back. I couldn't believe I hadn't found it until recently!

I dug this map as well! Very cool. Thanks for your video. I missed the switch to exit. Excellent video as always

Hey BigMacDavis, as usual quality work! Nice touch at the end with the scripting voice. I did not realise there was a hidden wall in the room with the Arachnatrons, now I know why I could not get 100% items. The maps coming up really step up the ante in the difficulty level and I really like this in Doom 2, there are some hard yards ahead for Doom guy!

You are a GD life saver, man! Truly!! Was losing my mind trying to figure out why I couldn't find the one last item. It was the damned SC near the spiders!! Sigh...THANK YOU!!

11:56 Love this part! Yet another great walkthrough BMD! I like this map too.

first time I ever played doom 2 I'd never heard of archviles and didn't know they were a thing in doom. just the fact they look and sound like freaky aliens and they flail all around at terrifying speeds made me jump out of my seat when the wall opened up. then it set me on fire. probably the most scared/creeped out I've ever been by a video game was playing this map for the first time.

With Doom Eternal our now these videos are becoming more relevant than ever. Thank you!

Heck yeah! I love this map! It's great that Map 21: Slayer of Plutonia was based off this map! It's weird for ID to use two names for one map, but I guess it's cool! And I love that part that you used a different kind of voice to say the quote that Earth command sent you!

Damn... "Radio-transmission" voice is ridiculous XD

It's called Circle 'O' Destruction in the Gameboy Advance version

That revenant was like: dude bugger off!!!

Very well played and explained!!

Thanks you so much for the tutorial I've been stuck for like 2 hours trying to open the barriers that let you to the end of the level

Since the Refueling Base drained my ammo, I ended up here with...chainsaw ONLY xD But I made it through! Now seeying you just amble thorugh the Circle OD made me laugh so heart xD I was sweating blood to not get buttkicked and you made it look like child´s play LOL ...as usual: love your stuff! Marc

Great video!

Thank you for the video!

lol I love your descriptions, your voice is geeky and a little posh sounding. by far best commentator, keep up the good work big mac

Great man, will follow your guide a bit for UV walktrough on BFG edition. I seem to run out of ammo quickly. Number of enemies seems like twice of DOOM. Big increase of difficulty with this sequel with Revenants and Mancubus, Spider demons and Pain Elementals.

What an amazing guide. You play it on ultra violence and make it look so easy that you can talk while playing. Meanwhile I'm having a hard time beating it on hurt me plenty

I love how Earth Control has the voice of Richard Nixon.

So if Circle of Death is Where the Healer Stalks, does that mean Arch-Viles play Samba Briza there?

Bro sounds like Patrick Bateman’s thoughts on “Hip to be square” 😂

One of the best levels in Doom 2, circle of death was designed by John Romero. Romero levels are among the best maps in the franchise and circle of death is no exception. Vintage John Romero.

I always love this map for some season. I don’t know why I just enjoy this map.

You're player guides are second to None🙏

Thanks again BigMac!

Oh, I remember that I hate this map so much. Puzzles are so irritating for me. I also didn’t know how to open the exit door past the red door. So I needed a walkthrough. Thank you so much.

Just finished E4M8 of Ultimate Doom :) Doom II here I come!

I like this man

Hi BigMac, love watching your Doom walkthru videos, very entertaining. I started constructing a Doom II map over 20 years ago, I just recently found it and decided to finish it. Is there some way I could send it to you to test out?

"Cacademons" never get old lmao.

I have a little impression that it's more difficult to dodge Archvile attack at the Doom 2 for Android / iOS.

This was my favorite map. The Arch-Vile scared the crap outta me

Man I played this so much and had no idea about that soul sphere

It's funny the difference between the map names on the ending screen and on the automap. But yeah, this map is very good to play. I liked your narration of the story at the end, with an improvised radio effect when you were reading the message of Earth control. If your career on KZfaq fails, with a strong and "sexy" voice that you have, you can certainly work on radio, be a dubber or even an actor, lol. Anyway, nice video, my friend!

Very good guide. Huge shortcut is possible as well, switching the switch beyond the red door from down in the slime!

Great exciting level as always although except for archviles 1st appearance that makes my progress of battle more frustrating

lol!!! you are so funny(-: and good! I remember playing DOOM II on my playstation! u r so detailed on your walkthrough!!! keep up the good work!!!!!

Such a great map. I don't know why it has two names, Romero designed it. Must have been his decision :) Unfortunately I normally stop playing doom 2 on map10 so I haven't played this map as much as I've had liked to.

Whoa! Those Pain Elementals caused a ton of damage to you. And "The Healer Stalks" from Map 2 is back again. Oh, and you kinda use your muffled voice to disguise as the radio communicator, just when Doomguy thinks his suicide mission is over. And you still press on through the fray. Anyways, nice vid. :)

Best level in Doom 2. Very iconic.

Such a cool map

2:21 Thank you!

for some reason, the version of doom 2 I'm playing, this map is named "o of destruction"

Do you like brutal doom?

Thanks for help

I like the use of green and gray in this map.

For the story intermission I'm guessing the Cannibal Mutations apply to the zombiemen, shotgunners and chaingunners, the Carnivorous Aliens apply to most of the monsters and the Evil Spirits apply to the Lost Souls and Archviles.

I have to admit: I HATE ARCHVILES! Especially when grouped or paried

Do a DOOM 64 walkthrough!

Imp, singing to the tune of "Circle of Life" from "The Lion King": "It's the ciiiiiiiircle of deeeeeeeeath, and it frags us all......"

When I tried to snipe that Revenant, it did the exact same thing to me, retreating back into the alcove. Hate those damn things. I recently got back into the Doom-verse in the last few months, and I have to say this playlist was a good find. I've liked watching so far.

6:50 Weird how on the Gameboy advance version I’m playing…the wall behind the rocket launcher doesn’t lower to get to the backpack. You have to run across to the backpack from the circle.

Fun stuff.

Solid gameplay my friend :D As for the name of the map, maybe ID decided to call it Circle of Death because of the way the player is surrounded with no cover at the start of the level so they choose that name would be more appropriate, not to mention the obvious reference to the center of the map that is, indeed, a circle lol. I can only see one reason why they didn't change the name on the automap ... the name change was probably done at the last minute before the release of the game and they forgot to change the name on the automap. Many times when programmers are limited in time they have to rush their work and of course they can forget about small details. Of course we could speculate about it for hours but honestly i'd like to know exactly why.

this is the best map in the doom history

🤣🤣 The revenant just hid on me also

that Revenant at 2:00 was trying to take the high road, but no, you just had to keep fucking with him.

The beginning of this map is emblematic of why I so dislike Doom 2 compared to Doom 1. “Here, were going to suddenly throw you into a situation where there are dozens of enemies in front of, behind, to the left and to the right of you.lol u got trolled isn’t my map great?” The rest of the map is actually really fun in my opinion , it’s just that by the time I make it to this map I’m exhausted by the the sudden hordes of enemies. In my opinion it is more interesting to use smaller number of enemies that complement each other well while lowering the amount of resources kind of like the first four maps of episode three of Doom.

LOL I just had 101% kills here. But thanks for secrets

The stairway from the slime pit there is a fuel cell behind it.

In the area with the revenant, the switch is there, but there's no way for me to get to the nearby platform.

1:50 I don't know if you will see this, or if you already found this out later, but a weird quark about Doom idle states is that if the enemy flinches on it's second idle frame it will not react to the player and continue to idle. That's why the revenant did not react.

Nice walkthrough. Have you played the newest doom game. The 2016 reboot. It's pretty fun. Also theres the new one called doom eternal. I can't wait for it

Hey big mac davis! I oved your vid but i have a problem. When you open the red door clear everyone and pres the button to the ledge with the backpack in my game nothing hapened. I tried on the riginal do, i tried with zandrnu nothing helped. What should i do?

so my kills at the ending screen said 104% lol glitch or what? Xbox 360 version if it helps haha

6:53 early builds don't have this platform. I don't know hot to reach the 2np platform with the backpack. only idclip works

hidden Soul Sphere,very handy

For some reason,the platform ( 6:47 ) ,that connects this room with the "backpack bridge" didn't lower for me at all. Only the rocket launcher. Had to idclip my way there :-/ .Lovin' the videos though :) Great commentary!

is the secret level "wolfenstein" the same file for E1M1 of wolfenstein? but programed for different enemies? grosse is a reference to E1M9 but not a replica there are some changes like Commander Keen in the exit room.

... and that's never a good thing ... Forever a Classic 🤓👌

my game is MISSING the platform at 6:52 any idea why?

In Map 24, There is a Cacodemon Shop.

Funny, on the Gameboy Advance version is says you have won after the factory, not this level. I think it's an error, because the Factory is on Earth, contradicting the "You Won" text

The "Bridge" to the Backpack don't exist in my early version of this Game. I have to go back up to the circle and jump from there.

BigMacDavies, greetings from the UK. Your videos on all the Doom games have been thoroughly entertaining. Please keep it up :) I have one question for you. How did you get ZDoom and whats the best way to obtain it? I haven't played TNT: Evilution or The Plutonia Experiment and I want to experience both.

I managed to skip the blue door. You can strafe run off the high platform to the red key.

I've never seen the arachnotron NOT get stuck. In fact, I pnched him out in a bonus video

How do you get so acquainted with these levels? I always stumble through them haphazardly. Most levels I beat with a time of 20 minutes or more lol.

Concise

Wow, I didn't know that Archvile can resurrect enemies.

Bigmacdavis, come back! :(

You make this game seem look like such a breeze.

BigMacDavis Dumb Question: when you fall off the backpack ledge, where do you go? I just land in poision.

Im a new player in doom, but in this level in the xbox360 game, I got 105% in the kills. WHY???

Anytime I use the bfg on pain elementals they never die, 4 shots not dead, learnt the hard way but now I just use the plasma rifle
