Cat from SF2011 is my favorite personal map, but I don't replay it all that much due to its length. Phmlspd map06 and map08 are other favs, by now I must have played these a hundred times each.
What about you, 40oz? You can't start a thread like this and not contribute. ;)

Is it even possible to enjoy playing your maps that much? I mean, you know them so well, it's like playing a map for the thousandth time: not very exciting with the exception of a few masterpieces maybe.
Personally, I'm having more fun playing a great map a hundred times than a hundred average maps once. For the most part, what I enjoy in Doom is the gameplay, and something that plays well (and didn't just seem to due to novelty) is still going to play well, forever.
It feels more repetitive to me to play a bunch of different maps with lackluster gameplay that comes down to going through the motions, because, well, it *is* going through the motions as opposed to actually play. It would probably feel just as repetitive if I played my favorite map multiple times in a row and daily, but I don't need to. There are many, many other good maps I can also play, and even average maps or bad maps can be fun, as long as it's not too many in a row.
Obviously, different people are going to have different thresholds for repetiveness. Most would probably think it's weird to keep playing a game at all once you've beat the main campaign, as this is how statistics tell us most people play their SP games.
