So apparently this is supposed to be a tribute to the people that inspired aquarius to make Doom playthrough videos. The map has good detail and the author did a good job with the secrets, plus I also like the fact this looks like a Beyond reality levels. That's all of the good things I can safely say about this wad so now I'm moving on to the problems.
For starters the map itself is too big with lots of backtracking just to get to certain areas, with me wondering when I'm going to get the rocket launcher. When I finally found the rocket launcher, I already had 50 rocket so that should tell something that I probably should of gotten it a little bit earlier. I spent part of the level getting lost figuring out where to go next, to the boring gameplay fighting against the same vanilla monsters I grew bored with at the end of the 2000s(at least for me anyways), to some skulltag monsters, and realm667 monsters thrown into the mix in an attempt to spice things up. The bosses you fight against are the Supreme Fiend and Demolisher, which I killed easily because of me using the pillars to my advantage. The most challenging monster minus will be Poe, because of the fact I have to use alot of ammo to kill the real thing mainly because of the ghosts it spawns. The credits map I found to be boring and pointless with me not caring too much for the music and was better off as an credits.txt inside the zip. The map was apparently checked by Omegalore and somehow he didn't find the texture misalignment with one of the crates pictured below.
Overall I give Base Of Tribute 2/5.
