What is the BEST Doom Wad you've played?

[Icekow]

What made those wads so fun? Why did some of them frighten you? Why was it so memorable? Why was it such an eye-candy?

Whatever i see (that i haven't played) i will try to finish and may do a review.                              I'll be waiting ;)

The most engrossing experiences for me are the single-author megawads, because I'm following the thread of their thought and watching specific gameplay ideas be explored thoroughly and in different ways. They have their own language, so to speak. I've had a good time with Resurgence, and everything by Skillsaw and Eternal.

 

I also enjoy big team masterworks like BTSX, Eviternity, and the Community Chests, but the single-author experiences make the most lasting impression on me.

I liked Jaska's Lost Civilization, simply because the outdoor areas were so well done.  Considering that techbases and Hell are so overdone, seeing any Doom wads that do not do that is a welcome change.

Phobos: Anomaly Reborn has always been one of my favourites. I love the detail and size of the levels. Also, vrack2 for the same reason.

[Doom-X-Machina]

Extermination Day was a pretty memorable and unique experience... lots to see and explore in a very Hell On Earth-like setting...

wow.wad lol

There is a thread where people post their favorite wads and divide 55 points between 10-20 WADs. I haven't voted yet, I still need to play a lot of wads to decide a top 10.

Deus Vult II

Doomcenter maybe, Zombie Horde? hard to choose just one, there's a lot of wads I really liked.

Futur war invasion

So much insanity in that wad I also would say others but I can't think of any

Eugh, it's literally impossible for me to name only one best wad I've ever played. But if I were to put together a Top 5, chances are it'd look something like this (in no particular order):

1. Stronghold: On the Edge of Chaos
2. Eviternity
3. Ancient Aliens
4. Back to Saturn X E1
5. Doom the Way id Did

Sigil 1.1 wad.  Even with all these 666 stuff splattered all over it.  I just thought of it as new content and nothing more.

 

Seriously... It seems like sigil just came and wen't on these doomworld forums, I miss the hype in that one thread where almost everybody was dying for an update.

I always return to The Darkening Episode II. Fun set of maps, looks great and it wasn't made yesterday... I always seem to point at it in these sort of threads.

[LFP]

Ancient Aliens

[Pixel Fiend]

Ancient Aliens is the best wad of all time in my opinion. It's more engaging and memorable than Sunlust and Eviternity.

[jerk-o]

Back to Saturn X episode 3

[SirJuicyLemon]

In terms of overall quality, I'd say Eviternity
In terms of fun, although with the need of multiplayer, I'd say Zombie Horde

[El Juancho]

Alien Vendetta
