What's a map you never get tired of playing?

[NinjaDelphox]

This question popped up in my head while I was replaying my favorite map, Gonna Never Have to Die from BTSX1, for the 10000th time. What is some of your guys' favorite maps to constantly replay? I love Gonna Never Have to Die because it is so much fun to play, and it has my absolute #1 most favorite midi in a Doom wad ever, music is the biggest reason I play video games, and I just love listening to Womp endlessly lol.

[Widosm]

E1M1, Doom 1. As timeless as they get.

[Pseudonaut]

I've replayed ngmvmt1 map09 on a whim several times. It's easy, has a kickass midi, and lets me just spam BFG everywhere and watch things die. Relaxing.

[Captain POLAND]

I've played the Okuplok slaughter map probably more times than any other map. Even got to the end a few times.

[Doomkid]

I can replay any of the maps in Dwango50.wad in a 2-8 player deathmatch at any given moment and have a good time.

[egap98]

anything from going down.

I often treat the Dwango series as "DM maps for practice", I think it's good for players with any skill level.

For me, Ngmvmt2 Map 12 is more relaxing, it also has a lot of BFG spam and an awsome MIDI.

E3M5 to E3M8 in Heretic.

[rzh]

Lots of Heretic maps, like E1M1-E1M6, E2M3-E2M5 or E3M1-E3M5.

I finished it wand-starting on Black Plague and now I feel that the best way of playing it, unlike Doom, is on Skill 3 with -fast (and -wandstart).

Black Plague is tough, the ultimate challenge, but I would say it loses it's replay value quickly. And Smite-Meister is just boring. I have no doubt that most people that complain about Heretic's balance play on Smite-Meister because they think it should be equivalent to Ultra-Violence and then they create "rebalance" mods that buff up your weapons and nerf enemy health to "reduce grind".

I also keep discovering clever ways of dealing with encounters. There's a section in E3M4 (The Azure Fortress) where you have to deal with a few Iron Liches shooting at you through a "window" after clearing out caged weredragons. Afterwards, there's a hallway that has plenty of lowered platforms with sabreclaws on them, which pop-up all at once once you reach the end of the hallway. What I do is I pop a Shadowsphere and a Tome of Power, I use the Hellstaff rain to deal with the Iron Liches, proceed, and shoot down rain against the walls of the lowered platforms. By the time I trigger them to pop-up, all the sabreclaws are dead.

Mr. Z's Playground and Stomm. Very few people know what those maps are...

[Lucky_Edie]

Dimensions map 02. Would replay it every stream/every other stream. I'll get the WR on it at some point as I've gotten times much faster than stars in practice. As meowgi would say don't pussy foot the platforming 

[DynamiteKaitorn]

DooM II's Entryway.

I love that map. <3

[Roofi]

I always enjoy replaying the first Episode of Hell Revealed.

[Muusi]

Map01 Bad Reception from Valiant. It gets literally everything right, right down to stewboy's excellent track, "Air". 

[ENEMY!!!]

Maps 01, 26 and 29 from Eviternity have to be up there amongst my most played maps of all time.

There's quite a few from the first Doom: E1M1, E1M2, E1M3, E2M2, E2M4, E2M8, E3M6 in particular.

[Senor Cacodemon]

I like E3M3 (Pandemonium) because one, the music and second, I love the structure and the design of the map, it gives me a hellish feel

[Plats]

Cryogenics map02

[Faceman2000]

E4M7 (Vacuum Consortium. . . I think) from NEIS. I had never played a level like that before and it blew me away. I love every section of that level it looks so freaking cool.

[Valboom]

Plutonia! (all maps).

[Maribo]

No Chance - this was my first or second introduction to full on slaughter, I think? For me, it's pretty perfect on HMP, with enough balance of challenge and leeway. UV someday maybe :)

Sunlust's first episode - I've replayed it countless times despite still not having done a full casual playthrough. Specific favorites are Map03: Forgotten Shrine, Map04: Sol, Map08: Oneira

Italo-Doom Map01 - It's the perfect brew of nonsense.

Combat Shock 2 Map02 and Map04 - They just flow.

Scythe's Map21-26 - I like hell aesthetic, okay?

Flotsam Map12 - Silly BFG-fest.

Back to Saturn X E1M1 - It's the atmosphere.

[Gibbon]

Scythe -first episode

tnt - map 16

altar of evil

CC1 - map 7

[thiccyosh]

For me it's easily the best parts of E2 in Doom 1993, E2M1, E2M2, E2M4, E2M6 ofc, E2M7 and E2M8 never get old for me.

 

I probably have played E2 more than the other episodes and Doom 2 combined.

 

Is something wrong with me?

[Burgish]

SUUUUUUUNDER

 

I wind up playing the first 3-4 levels over and over trying to no-death as far as I can.

 

Although last year's Caco winner Bastion of Chaos is a close runner-up.  So many fights that seem impossible - and then you make an inch of progress and ANOTHER impossible challenge overtop of the one you're already dealing with.  But then somehow you find a way to get through it, and next thing you know it's something you can get a no-hit run on.

 

Magic, I tell ya.

[Jacek Bourne]

Scythe map26

[robocaco]

Doom 2 - MAP07 

It never gets old

[Loud Silence]

 

[Andromeda]

Sacrament MAP13 (Controlled System), a masterpiece of atmospheric level design.

[NinjaDelphox]

Seeing a lot of cool choices! I thought of a few others I never get tired of playing; Dirty Water from BTSX2, Across the Blood Sea from TNTR, and Mind Trap from HR2 are also maps I really enjoy playing a lot.
