what is the best mod you have played?

[aimshows]

i wanna know what is the best mod for doom 1 and 2 have you played. plus you cant say Brutal Doom, Smooth Doom, Beautiful Doom and project brutality.

give me a fairly unknown mod for the original doom games

[NaliSeed]

Classic Doom Reforged. But only because I'm the author 😁

[Sonikkumania]

Tbh I've yet to find an Doom mod that would genuinely be enjoyable. I appreciate the talent and effort that goes to modding but they all seem very generic to me. Operation Bodycount looks interesting but then again it feels like a poor man's COD..

 

I'd love to play a Doom engine remastered Blake Stone mod which wouldn't suck.

[IcarusOfDaggers]

I think Walpurgis is currently one of the few unique ones. I don't dabble into the modding scene that much otherwise, mostly playing GZDoom, which opens up new ways to play the game.

 

[Nightmare2989]

God Complex is a fun mod to play I'm about to stream it and final Doomer a good mod

[Ar_e_en]

One of my favorite gameplay mods that I played eons ago was "Mikks Custom Gun" mod ( https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=54303 ). It was basically "BorderDoom" before "BorderDoom" was even a thing ( "BorderDoom" is also a really good mod! ).

Personal 2 favorites are Eviternity and Brutal Doom 64

Is this only about gameplay mods? If so Supercharge is my personal fav. I also don't mind loading up Meatgrinder for the occasional power fantasy.

DOOM CHRISTMAS - For Doom II & Final Doom by Doomkid

 

 

Nothing game changer, just a lovely, festive audiovisual pack for the holidays. <3

[Firedust]

Supercharge

[Sokoro]

Final Doomer, I just love it. It feels close to original game, but adds a lot of variety.

 

There are also other mods, that I load for fun sometimes:

 

Trailblazer = Makes you feel like a Terminator

 

Doom RLArsenal = Lot of customisation, can even play whole megawad with focus on shotguns, for example.

 

Meta doom = not perfect, but main menu is just badass and reminds me of all good memories I had playing all the doom games

 

High Noon Drifter = I use it for egyptian wads to feel like Indiana Jones, or just western wads.

 

Thanks everyone for these and other doom mods, this community is awesome.

[BerserkerNoir]

My taste with mods is so variated that I cannot Pick a Single Mod over other.
But My favorites in no particular order are
Guncaster
Project Brutality
High Noon Drifter
Live Through Doom
Beautiful Doom
Death Foretold (D4T)
Embers of Armageddon
Final Doomer

I have been on a major "vanilla" kick lately, but I really like Doom Expanded, Meta Doom and Walpurgis when I feel like switching it up

Thanks for the mention! Incidently, there's a new trailer today:

 

[CoolerDoomeR]

High Noon Drifter, War Rooster and Zero Tolerance

 

[MemeMind]

I love Live Through Doom, awesome animations and I love the slower more survival like gameplay. 

[kalensar]

Thats a loaded question so I'll have to do numbers and group genres.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Full GamePlay but Still based on Doom( Basically TC with no maps)---

1. Project MSX. This was a tough call since there are so many.
2. JAD3-ADV--- Fun mashup of modified Xim's Doom 3 v1.0 guns, upgraded Doom-Like monsters that mixing in an atmosphere of F.E.A.R. style, Updated textures and decorations, and liquid physics

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Full Gameplay not based on Doom--- Multiple

1.   Doomed Over Zelda (DOZ), once called Link To The Doom--- This is one of my own, but also one of my longest running projects.
2. Project Re-Blood--- Great Blood weapons and monster redo that runs super well

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Full TC Based on Doom---

1. Doom Tribute Project. This is a super easy choice. Great campaign and very well done.
2. Doom FreeRoam--- This awesome whether you play the "TC" or the mod friendly version. Simple and very well applied in its presentation for what it is.
3. Doom One--- Most just really well made reimagining of Doom1 campaign. It is mod friendly

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Full TC NOT based on Doom-- Going with multiple choices here because theres just so many good ones.

1.   Castlevania 3 for Simons Destiny ---- One I made for Castlevania Simon's Destiny
2. Legend of Doom-- I did advisory work on this amazing TC
3. Lycanthorn 2-- Freaking amazing if you like CastleVania Doom engine idea
4. Ashes Afterglow--- Good lord to this monstrosity
5. Golden Souls 1 & 2
6. Batman Coldheart--- Basically Batman Doom but with more levels and Batman centric equipment. Super fun one.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Weapons and Monsters based on Doom

1. Code Zleek Doom--- A smooth Doom clone I made that is 100% text code only. Extra gore, animation smoothing, water splashes and so much more but still 100% vanilla timed for guns and enemy action timing.
2. Doom THOHT and its fork THOHT-ADV---- A competitor style Monster pack to Brutal Doom and Project brutality but offering a completely different style and feeling to said combat encounter.
3. Hellrider v0.9c--- By far and away by favorite weapons and player mod for when I just want pure fun while using doom style weapons. the movement enhancements are off the charts and so fun without being completely game breaking.
4. Highway Acceleroid Booster--- Great for if you want Megaman X feels
5. Metroid Dreadnought--- Great for when you want to play Doom as Samus.
6. Mario Doom.--- The hilarity is awesome. Great and simple mod.
7. NTMAI-- Nobody Told Me about ID---  basically a concept of Doom but if it was made in Build Engine
8. D64ifier--- A cool mod that makes Doom look more like Doom64 for weapons, textures and monsters
9. Brutal FreeDoom GZD v3-4x---- The full name is a mouthful but yup its the analog to what it sounds like. I've been the primary editor and launcher of this project that has multiple awesome contributions. Its also a project that I have plundered to death as well. While it may not be as well polished as Brutal Doom, it still does the job of being deadly, bloody and very fun. 
10. Doom But More Build(DBMB)--- Another project of mine that is designed on the premise of tiny file size, good eye candy, and Doom with reloading weapons vs vanilla monsters. 

 

----end list----

 

These mentions are mainly based on my gameplay time or with technical aspects I enjoy; mostly gameplay time.

Complex Doom without all the power creep addons is a classic. It's my go to. Really wish Daedalus would update it again.

[Shulbocka]

I agree with most of the mentions in this thread, but am flabbergasted that Combined Arms & Combined Arms: Gaiden by Combine_Kegan has not been mentioned yet. They are both insanely good and "memorable". These are dark days indeed.

hands down still

https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=28547

Particle Fire Enhancer Mod. It has not changed much in 10 years but it still holds up. I like to add other things to it and use them for personal mods. 

[Darkcrafter07]

Brutal Doom by mr Sergeant Mark IV. The best mod hands down that kept doom afloat during its crysis and was loved by people so much that it seems to me Bethesda made their replicas - Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal.

Now I've got extremely tired of this mod and back to playing classic doom, too hard to beat it.

 

Now it's for smooth doom for me. Those carefully made smooth animations open the game from the new perspective.

Probably Supercharge or Pirate Doom

[netcurse2000]

Lt. Typhoon, Action Doom, Nun with a gun, Pirate Doom!, High Noon Drifter, Castlevania Simon's Destiny.
