Probably the only decent maps to come out of this is MAP18 and MAP26, the rest are forgettable garbage with nothing interesting to them. You can say this is "not bad" for speedmaps, but looking at them as normal maps, you have many other PWADs to play that offer far more entertainment than a compilation of dull, ugly, and uninteresting maps.

Most maps were pretty good to play in, with or without any other mods

A few maps are good and obviously the work of skilled mappers but the whole thing is generally amateurish in quality, and feels hastily cobbled together. The fact that it's speedmapping is no excuse, much better wads have been made in that same format (3 heures d'agonie comes to mind, and they had even less time). Speedmapping may be a challenge to the mappers, but from a player's perspective, it's usually just another example of doom going off in a wrong direction...

Quote: 'These were actually good maps'. Maybe, but *from a speedmappers POV*. Remind: basically the fun of playing DooM is in the gameplay, not in the build time. The goal of speedmapping is NOT creating decent gameplay, but 'see how far we can get in limited time'. And with all respect, from a traditional POV the results are rarely good, so Zalewa does have a point. Therefore IMHO it would be a good idea to let speedmappers have their own archive section instead of mixing wads. Anyway, have fun guys :-)

a nice collection of speedmaps. /vr/ clearly has some talent kicking around in there. id like to see what they can do with some more time.

I'm tired of shitty speedmapping "megawads". Out of 27 maps we played only about 5 could be considered decent enough to be playable. The rest is absolute torture (we did this in cooperative). This WAD needed quality control that would cull all the crap maps, but then it wouldn't be a "megawad" anymore, would it?

Fun stuff. Proves that even outsiders not part of the traditional communities can assemble an interesting speedmapping megawad. Some good-to-great stuff, some HelloWorld.wad maps, some myCoolMapWIPffffINEE DMORETIME.wad maps. Worth playing for the highlights. 04 has a pretty bad spechit overflow.

Some nice maps here, others not very nice, but I was most surprised with Cheesewheel, I've never even heard of him before! I wish he did more than three maps.

I'm not entirely unbiased, but I think there's more good than bad in here - especially considering the time limit (which was originally going to be 100 minutes, so be grateful for what you got). Bretty gr8 I r8 8/8... 4/5 anyway...

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
