[Faustrecht]

As the name says. Anyone knows good Doom2 Wads for coop games in Brutal Doom which require teamwork?

 

Thank you in advance and kind regards.

Do not know of good coop wads.  It does not seem to attract builders.

Any wad can be used for coop, but there was and is a tendency to include excessive monsters for coop (like 5 or 6 cyberdemons).

DoomLegacy has additional coop modes that reduce the monsters so that less-than-expert players can be included in a coop game, and not get overwhelmed.

That would allow any wad at any difficulty to be played in coop.

You might request that Brutal Doom get a similar feature.

 

Teamwork being required in a wad ..  would be a very special wad.  And then you want one for Brutal Doom.

There might be one in existence, but I do not remember any names, and probably not for Brutal Doom.

 

Some of the more difficult wads of the original id wads can benefit from teamwork, such as one player pushing the button, and the other holding the door open.

With many wads, having one player walk backwards to watch your back, would reduce that kind of annoying attack considerably.

 

The problem to avoid is the wad designer tendency to overload the coop play, making it experts only.

DoomLegacy has a coop mode that allows a coop team to play a regular wad level with single player monster selection.

I suppose someone could make a wad modifier that would do the same for any wad, and thus allow Brutal Doom to be used.

Probably just easier to request Brutal Doom to add the feature.

Exo-Bloodmoon and Sytche II was the one that i played my last co-op with Brutal Doom, my group like more high actions maps, small levels to be challenging but fun with the help of a friend.

Yes i realized exactly that. No matter if i go Zandro or Zdaemon. Most most mapsets on servers are just a pure "Survival Hardcore Slaughter fest" Good for Experts but for casuals like me more frustrating. Thats why i asked here.

They are Survival but feel more like invasion mods.

I played that mapset on Compendium with DND. And one time as its own WAD. If you have enough awareness with other players it should become fun to play and not too frustrating for casuals.

 

Since my OP is longer time ago i didnt expect an reply. im sorry if i answer delayed.

You could try Freedoom 0.8  (not the horrible new Freedoom).

I did Map09, Map13, and Map19, so I know that those are coop playable.  There are several places where players can help each other.

Those maps make use of Boom features.
