Monster fighting: what are good WADs to practice?

[wallabra]

I've been binge watching decino's WAD playthrough videos lately, and a relatively common reoccurring theme is that he utilizes monster infighting to his advantage to conserve ammo and/or expose himself less to dangerous areas where other monsters could otherwise snipe at him, as well as other good reasons.

 

What are good mapsets to incite some nice monster infighting in? Where there are opportunities aplenty to cause some satisfying frenzy? Bonus points if said mapset is somewhat resource starved (where the player really benefits from monster infighting by using less ammo to get rid of enemies). Bonus points if it's not a slaughter WAD or a pure joke WAD.

if you pistol-start memento mori 2 maps, you'll find that those are actually pretty resource starved cuz they're balanced for continuous, so that could work pretty well. none of them are slaughter, obviously.

 

nilla also has some ammo and health starvation in it, so that'd be a good wad to practice too, and the chord series would be a great place to start as well.

 

edit: zone 300 would be good too - some of the maps in that set are pretty nasty with ammo starvation
