http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=15043 apparently nobody knows the (slightly) better version even exists :(

i played it a few months ago. the maps were much to my taste: not overly complex with hard to find secrets, but centered on gameplay. i wonder why there's no demo pack for this wad as it lends itself to playing through in one go. perhaps because it's zdoom, which breaks demos with every version? that's the main thing i don't like about zdoom, although it gives mappers the most options otherwise.

the first boss (the satan-like creature) appeared somewhat jerky, could have used a few more frames, but overall in interesting fight. the maps got even better in the second episode, aestetically pleasing, especially the surreal places floating above hell or whatever.

the seconds boss... holy shit. that ugly green fish, he toasted me every time when he started to warp. ok, i'm stuck with an old box not up to the tasks of some zdoom maps, but that creature still reminded me of playing tower of babel for the very first time.

Some of the good ones that i noticed that nobody mentioned are

[Congestion Control] (If there was a sequel to Doom 2 story it would be this megawad.)

----------------------------------------------------
[Doom 2 Reloaded]

( I really enjoyed this one too and recommend this one to everyone)

----------------------------------------------------
[DARK 7 + Mission Pack]

(mission pack has extra levels. (Best megawad ever in my opinion and it comes with its own weapon pack. The Handgun is replaced by a really reliable SMG that is weaker than the chain gun but is very accurate at distance. This megawad also has really good looking textures that dont get so repetitive. It also has a really good soundtrack unlike any other custom music ive ever heard. This one has to be for sure experienced.

----------------------------------------------------
[Community chest 3]

Even though it was already mentioned I really enjoyed this one alot.

----------------------------------------------------
[Perditions Gate]

Another classic style megawad with each match having that classic style to it.

---------------------------------------------------
[NIMROD]

( Another well made megawad. Its supposed to take place in the future of the events of DOOM 2.

---------------------------------------------------
[Mutiny]

Another well edited megawad that is a community project just like the community chest megawads
