This wad on the other hand is a genuine contender. Give it a few years and it might slink back.

dead.wire has a very interesting presentation. I thought I'd seen it all, but nope! I died a few times to surprise attacks from spectral monsters, and a few more times from arachnotron and revenant attacks to my backside while I was frantically looking around, trying to find the damn lost soul that I missed. Having to scan your environments that much more carefully adds a lot of tension to exploration. I like it.

The custom weapons are a tad redundant - the rocket launcher, plasma rifle and BFG replacements are all rapid or semi-rapid firing weapons and they're all made to deal with groups. Also, the plasma rifle can do the most damage per shot (with enough lined up enemies), it's safe and effective at every range and it's the most ammo efficient, and therefore completely obsoletes the other two.

My favourite part of 50 Shades of Graytall was the switch textures that are snuck into the maps as a little piece of sky. It's just silly enough to work.

Skulldash is everything that Wrack wanted to be and wasn't.

i swear i didn't forgot this

Already played Valiant, it would've been surprise if it didn't win. Gonna see if I can play 'em all before new year.

On the late train here but just wanted to thank all the folks who continue to feed my DOOM habit with wonderful new maps.

[vinnie245]

Congrats to all the winners, especially Valiant and Sunlust.

Fun Fact: after releasing maps every year since 2005, this is the first year I've been mentioned in the cacowards.

Oh no, you're becoming mainstream!

[Memfis]

Congrats man!

Cacowards shouldn't be anyone's target, creating something you're proud of is and being recognized is just a bonus

also i nominated The room Below that one year because it is cool dang cacoward hacks !!!!!

I nominated it when it was called The Floor Below! I DID IT BEFORE IT WAS COOL!!1

But yeah though, that map kicked so much ass.

For some reason I misread this to mean something along the lines of "The Room Below hacked the cacowards," and now I'm wondering what the Cacoward equivalent of oscar-bait is.

inb4 someone releases a map called "This will win a Cacoward," and then it does. :P

I made Insta/Selfie Doom with the intention of winning a Cacoward, owned.

Although I'm not sure if the mockaward counts as one, self-owned.
