Your Favorite WAD


Recommended Posts

I love Hell To Pay. I love how you can feel the progress through the game (something I always missed in Doom 2), I love how they made semi-realistic stuff without making the maps boring, and I love the sprite replacemnest (no matter how crappy they are). The music is pretty good too (especially map01).

It's hard to pick just one, because there are a fair amount that I really enjoy.

I guess I'll break it down to the top 5 for each time of WAD out there.

Single Level:
1. "Grove" by B.P.R.D
2. "Dawn of Reality" by Reinchard
3. "Void" by Cyb
4. "City of the Damned"/"City of the Damned: Apocalypse" by Tormentor667
5. "Oniria" by Aluqah

Multi-Level (14 or less maps)
1. "Unloved" by BlueEagle
2. "The Ultimate Torment and Torture" by Tormentor 667
3. "Hell Ground" by Eternal
4. "Phocas Island 2" by chopkinsca
5. "Demons of Problematique" 1+2 by Exl

MegaWADs (15+ maps)
1. "Alien Vendetta" by various
2. "Speed of Doom" by Joshy and Darkwave0000
3. "Scythe 2" by Erik Alm
4. "Congestion 1024" by various
5. "Diet 32 in 24" by the 32in24 Team

I already listed Classic Episode but my favorite Doom II mapset is Dark Covenant. In 1996, I was playing a lot of Quake, but that stopped entirely when I found this. :) Even now I like to play through once in a while, or just a few levels. Even the first map is very good, and I've come to think of it as my home since I don't really have one. Despite that, I haven't yet found 100% secrets everywhere, but often notice some details I hadn't before.

I haven't played enough Heretic or Hexen PWADs to have favorites for those. Maybe someday, since chocolate-doom can run those too...

IWAD: The Ultimate Doom
Megawad: Alien Vendetta
Episodes: 2002 A Doom Odyssey

Out of the latter two, 2002 is my favorite. I just love the level design so much!

My own wads are my favorite wads. Selfish mapping pays off, as I replay these more than any others, and genuinely enjoy it.

Other than that, Sunder or Scythe 2, probably. Tough to pick between the two. Scythe 2 has much stronger gameplay, but it's so tightly constructed and controlled it sometimes feels artificial ; whereas Sunder has vivid, artistic environments, inspiring enough to mask some gameplay shortcomings.

Speed of Doom - Nice and beautiful maps, hard but fun.
Whispers of Satan - Beautiful design in ceilings.
Alien Vendetta - The music, atmosphere etc. are very nice.
Congestion 384 - Short and straight forward.

Jenesis Pt 2
1monster
DTWID submissions by 40oz, Marnetmar, C30N9 and Ellmo
Motornerve
The Jaguar TC (I love the new simplistic but really nice-looking texturing + new textures)
Justice - Infernal Mechanics for Zdoom
Vaporware Demo although it's not what I'd usually like
Laz Rojas' Wolfendoom series, not for gameplay but certainly for the amount of effort he put into that with the very inadequate Mac tools he had to use at the time.
Bratislava 2011 for the pure intense gameplay that I'd never had so much equally challenging and exciting fun playing.

Also some WADs made by *cough* you know who were advanced for their time.

Why don't you d/l the PSX Doom TC then since its based on the Jaguar port but with many things added.
