Favorite Map in Doom II?


Paf

Recommended Posts

Map05 and Map14

EDIT:

If these maps were released nowadays, they'd be probably gonna be received as modern vanilla ones

If I was asked this question around ten years ago, I'd choose Map28: if I think about Doom 2, I instantly associate it with this one.

It was cool experience to pistol start this map for me then

MAP01. No really. I think this is a fairly solid opener map being short, snappy, easy to understand how enemies work and even teaching a new player "hey, there's traps so be careful!" as well as "hey! we got secrets in this game!". D_RUNNIN is also one heck of a banger for an opener map.

Map 16: Suburbs. I've always been attracted by the slaughterness of this map, and the atmosphere on this level in general is just astounding. Especially, I appreciate the lifts near the exit (I remember it took me a while to figure out how to manipulate with them when I first played this map) and the skull-caco secret.

 

This map is full of secrets, and those in the library were alongside the first Doomcute elements ever made (but then there was, for example, the blood fountain on D1E4M5, not sure whether it can be considered as Doomcute). The ocher and blue colors harmonize really well together.

 

Spoiler

The revenants near the blue door and the specters behind it and next to the switch which serves to interact with the secret teleporter are also an amazing gimmick, in my opinion.

 

 

 

This map is one of the first associations that I have when someone says "DOOM".

My all-time favorites are: MAP18: "The Courtyard", MAP20: "Gotcha!", MAP24: "The Chasm" and MAP27: "Monster Condo" for their gloomy and almost sinister atmosphere.

The Courtyard! Great atmosphere, love the namesake which is also great for testing stuff. Probably favorite track from Doom II as well.

Map13 Downtown is my favorite. I love the atmosphere and the sandboxy nature of it. Maps 27, 28, and 29 are my next couple favorites - I love that stretch of the game so much.

I was going to say map09, The Pit. But I had to fire up the old Rocket Launcher 2.0 to

figure out which number it was and that got me to bumble into map10, Refueling Base.

As much as I like the The Pit, I'm going to have to say that Refueling Base is better. It's

such a good map.

Monster Condo. I'm a big fan of Sandy Petersen's playfully devious puzzle box maps, and this one goes all out on the puzzle box while mixing it with some really satisfying combat.
