Most atmospheric Wad?

Alien Vendetta had a ridiculously high amount of maps that had an amazing atmosphere, and each of them strike a different chord with me... Beast Island for example had a melancholic and explorational atmosphere... the viewpoint where you see the castle in the distance had a lasting effect on me, and each of Kim's levels had moments that made my jaw drop, and his levels had a very eery and haunting feeling that was achieved through his dramatic lighting.. there's ofcourse more maps in AV like Nemesis but I think I'm preaching to the choir. :P

Misri Halek of course takes the cake. I agree on Beast Island and Nemesis, though.

I would highly recommend Knee Deep in ZDoom. It's one of the most atmospheric wads I ever played through. The download can be found here:

Also I would recommend that you play it with the Doom Ambient Pack which can be found here:

Combined with that pack, this wad becomes the most atmospheric wad ever made. It literally felt like I was on a moon base being possessed by hell.

For me, hellcore, but there are so many others. I feel every wad has it's own vibe to it(Yes, even shovel-ware wads). :-P

Posting in here to save this while I'm at school. I want to try out some of these WADs that were recommended.

Also, I'm yet to 100% Unloved.wad. Do you have to enable jumping in order to obtain the blue key in the crib? I think it's the blue key. It's been about a year since I last played it.

Spawn has a pretty nice atmosphere.

Winter's Fury and the shit-your-pants-scary sequel S.U.P.E.R. Natural.

I've played Winter's Fury but not SUPER Natural...WOW is all I can say...WOW.

Earth.wad
Most atmorpheric wad from the 90's.

Earth is only atmospheric until you start moving. The first view is literally the only cool thing there, everything else is very poo. :p

I got a few more...

Play this one without music and in the dark!
"Watch those corners..."

Instead of hellground, just play American McGee's Alice, the game which hellground desperately tries to imitate or bring into doom or whatever. It's pretty much a ripoff of that game, and obviously an extremely limited one at that.
