The Community is Falling 2

Playability notes: Requires ZDoom-based ports to function. All maps are technically made for pistol start, but continuous is recommended.

 

The Community is Falling 2 is a sequel to the first installment and, while the story is more dramatic and refined, the gameplay takes an entirely different approach that at least entertains those with an open mind. As something of a jokewad the idea plays out similarly, with the player needing to cleanup the mess of what can only be described as "forum drama", and after a brief introduction is thrust into no more than three encounters across three maps. Also similar are the return of the "newb" enemy, basically a Demon with sometimes more speed.

 

Overall, these maps should be considered gameplay puzzles. The first is a matter of finding where to go with the least necessary movement; the second is a matter of understanding available space and being able to quickly analyze your surroundings; the third is an extreme test against enemy AI. All of them are simplistic in their approach and none of them are easy, so they very quickly turn into a practice-until-perfect scenario and generally lack replay value.

 

Least interesting is the first fight, which distills into getting in the correct position and holding down the fire button. Most interesting is the second fight, as it plays out uniquely in the form of BFG-spam that must be tightly controlled to stay alive. The most frustrating by far is the third fight (if you don't have a megasphere's worth of health left over) and is basically the previous final boss but with a single pillar for cover: one's personal enjoyment may vary here, as this is an incredibly precise dance with little room for error.

 

Ultimately, because the fights don't align with vanilla gameplay but are oddly fine-tuned regardless, I can't recommend this to most. Try it out if you're interested in a change-up, but don't feel obligated to see it through to the end.

still funny jokewad, even though it's short.

epic fail

im actually a fan of HL@, but this was really funny! I wonder how long the community will last? id guess 2 or 3 more years. i mean lets be honest here, there are a lot better games then doom.

I don't see how this is possible without cheats. Especially on my old ass computer where it runs at roughly 4fps during the big battles. Still, the second map (Planetdoom) is really nice and it's funny overall. Poor Half-Life2 fans.

I love those humorous shit even if I am not informed about the inside jokes. We have BFG 9000 which can beat your gravity gun =)

What a letdown. The levels are short, the boss battles are either unexciting (MAP05) or way too freaking hard (MAP04), and it is nowhere near as fun as its predecessor. I was going to give it 3 stars but in fact i can't see myself giving this above 2/5. The end screen was funny though. MEH

I don't know how anyone could possibly give this wad anything lower then a 4. This isn't just some crappy jokewad. This is an epic masterpiece that pushes the limits of Zdoom so well that it almost puts RTC-3057 to shame. You've done good Kaiser... You've done good...

Vas faloir s'amuser les gars !!!

"Bugs: The wad itself" LOL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA very amusing,nice job DD.

Bleah! 1/5

I don't know the true story, so I cannot enjoy it enough. Funny but nearly unplayable. 3/5 - Damned

hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha 5 -NMN

I love you ~ Tom D

Heh. What a nice one. Well, I'm also still "stuck" with DooM, and no HL2 could change that. I don't even bother playing a game that has such a lot of copy crap and stuff on it. Well, Microsoft-Fanboys they are at Valve.

5 That was fantastic XD. But where is HL2 World? -Adrian

Go play DooM ;) Heh, HL2 can be remade via GZDooM, but HL2 can't remake DooM :P Play DooM or screw yourself :P 5/5 Very much humor (which I like) ;) Download now... or else... Do you know what time it is? I've got a BFG, and it's going up your asses! -KeksDose

AH HA HA HA HA roflmao hilarious. Kaiser does it again! -Bouncy

Rather stupid "lol x game is better" drama-war-type thing story but still a few lols.

Hell this rulez! Steam sucks and Doom rulez forever ever ever HL2 can be fully remade with zdoom and Doom can't be fully remade with HL2! And that's cuz doom rulez!!!
