Overall rating:

This is a very good wad. It's looking good and detailed. Some new textures and flats and lighting effects are creating a nice ambience here, especially in the tech-department.
A big plus of this is the sounddesign. Most sounds have been replaced and some are really cool, like the sounds of the Revenant for example. Some sounds are taken from (or have also been used) in brit11.wad and the second half of the mapset reminded me of brit11 also in the optical respect (in fact the author's name rang some bells in me, but I don't remember where I heard of him before).
The music fits quite nice, too.
There are only two issues I have to criticise: There are almost no secrets and puzzles to solve and the fights could be somewhat harder. The maps are maybe too easy to beat and thus too short (except for the Icon of Sin-map 11, of course).
