H2H-Xmas.wad

I want to like this, I really do. There are several maps that I really like, for example, the visuals of Hotel Hell (map20), which I thought was pretty cute if a little hard to figure out. Overall though, I don't care for this megawad. The difficulty swings wildly from "sudden slaughter-wad" to "was this supposed to be a deathmatch map?". Not for me, did not jingle my bells.

''Oh, my face'' Lots o' revenants. Deadly white snow. Save Santa's workshop and christmas for everyone.

Totally awesome and hard maps pre-Hell Revealed era.
The maps are good with some christmas themed stuffs, like snow and some new music, and the awesome status bar with santa claus. But its no more than that.
If you really want to play this to its full, i recommend you to search for the h2h-xmas-fix.wad that @NightFright made. It adds a fix for map14, some new graphics, and most importat, it adds a proper dehacked patch with some neat text screens and maps names.
If this is not enough and you want the ultimate christmas experience, Doomxmas is the answer: it adds properly themed mosters, iced doom textures that greatly enhances the look of the maps, new christmas themed weapons, new sounds, and a dehacked patch for some neat tricks with the mosnters. And also it comes with a neat music pack with a ton of christmas songs to wisthle along! 

This one is a good megawad. It's indeed overpopulated with revenants (e.g = in map 12 there're 165/map 14 - 115, etc) but the authors give enough weaponry for deal with them then it's alright. The only complaint I have is some maps could use more monsters, as some maps have below 50. Play it only if you don't mind the overwhelming quantity of revenants in some maps.
 

Makes my Christmas better since 2009. A true happiness bringer, absolute classic never getting old.

there sure aren't a lot of fans of Christmas on Doomworld, are there? not that that matters, as Christmas-themed FPS mods back in the day were just not good. for those that don't know, Joe Wilcox went on to form Simply Silly Software, the company responsible for Duke: Nuclear Winter. here, we see a collaboration effort of authors who make quite a few peculiar Christmas-themed wads, with some being recycled deathmatch maps retooled for singleplayer. wad overall is ugly, but the combat definitely gives the Hell Revealed vibe (this was before HR btw). a bit overdose on shotgun guys and revenants, and sometimes the layouts are wonky. Dave Swift in particular was responsible for the more slaughterish levels, particularly MAP12, while Pavel Hodek restructures his own deathmatch maps for singleplayer as well. there's definitely a lot of memorable maps here besides MAP12 mostly because of the encounters, especially through the middle of the megawad. plenty of errors and design that would be frowned upon today. MAP14 has some broken parts, while MAP22 has only 2 monsters on ITYTD/HNTR, and what's up with MAP30's monster spawns? they should be in the map. this is one of the roughest levelsets out there, and the most notable Christmas-themed one just to ensure there's some charm. every level is still completable thankfully.

There wasn't much new graphics, and levels were crude representations of what they were supposed to be. So aesthetics-wise, this wad is lacking and doesn't have that much of a "Christmas feel". Gameplay-wise, it overuses Revenants, has some hitscan hell parts, and there's absolutely no sense of difficulty progression with outright schizophrenic difficulty. I still had some fun though and some of the levels were neat. A decent pick if you're looking for an old school wad, but very lacking by modern standards

IMO it's done just enough Xmas spirit to not overwhelm the DOOM game (I don't want a Xmas makeover like the Simpsons one). So for that, it's brilliantly done. Does anyone know where did the "12 days of christmas" come from because this version is perhaps the BEST I've ever heard, using a key transition to keep it fun!

Pretty damn good wad. 5/5

What the fuck is this stinking shit? Annoying sounds, missing or misaligned textures, boring and crappy map design... Mandatory 0/5.

This one is legendary, I used to play it a lot in coop. the design is not so good but the gameplay (the fun!) is definatly there 4/5 - PerOxyd

Christmas + DooM = fuck no.

I admit, now, it seems really cheesy. However, when I first played this, I thought it was awesome, walking in a winter wonderland with Christmas music in the background killing demons. This WAD has been a classic for me and my friends. We play Co-Op every December for the past 10 years. Still pretty fun singleplayer.

it was funny! 5/5

very good Christmas time WAD. get me in the spirit for Christmas. There is nothing better then waking up Christmas morning and killing demons with the chainsaw!!! 4/5 -r_rr

A reasonable wad, from 1995, it looks ok and plays pretty alright. It looks of course a little dated but for novelty value it's ok. The sprites (trees) look good but of course creating Christmas themed monsters and more textures would have been good. 3 stars cannonball

yep, it is really legendary !!! if you love to wrestle with billions of Revenants, here you go ;-) in deed it is challenging, good textures and just fine stories and action. Classic-must-have-in-your-doom2-directory - wad ;----))))

Revolutionary for its time.

yknow what would be impressive is if this actually WORKED

You'll always find this in Doom servers around the holiday season, Even if it doesn't have the best maps ever made, it's friggin' H2H Xmas. Legendary WAD.

It's technically very crude. The new graphics are very poor and the voice samples are... eccentric. There's a spiral staircase on level three that's horrible. But it's fun to play, so four stars; it's like a kind of crude punk Christmas wad.

I liked the mod (except for some maps which are God-awful), it doesn't bring Christmas feeling, however. Also, most of the custom textures look awful. (Not sprites, however)

Wery good and funny wad. More and more revenants. I hate this.

the xmas megawad. 3 stars for this. Daimon

It was very good despite the christmas music.
