I spend quite a bit of time playing Doom/Doom2/Final Doom in Co-Op, and after a few years of this (I'm not a fequent gamer) it's starting to get a little repetative. Does anyone have any good Megawad suggestions that play well in Co-Op?

-Dan

My megawad (Fragport) is co-op friendly (ie. co-op teleporters etc.), but only 2 player. (for that splitscreen thing in Legacy, but it should work fine in a normal co-op game)

Lemme tell you what -- that Aliens TC revision should not be on /idgames. Ty's rules state that he doesn't accept revisions except with the original author's permission, AND if it is intended to replace, not complement, the original. This is obviously neither.

That's right.

about your review of lutemp.wad...

it seems you spent more time criticizing the README FILE than the actual WAD! :-D i don't see how disliking organized religion equates to mental problems (sure it had no place in a wad-readme but the subject of religion reminded me of the bad experiences i've had w/ greediness in the catholic church) the comment was off-color and inappropriate but oh well. and YES, i spelled my own last-name wrong</sarcasm> actually, people misunderstood my ancestor's name as they came over on the boats and said their name was "MacMillan". there are numerous other variations but they all stem from some form of MacMillan (a little geneaology info to soothe the soul) i'm not sure why i'm even dignifying this review with a response because you were obviously rushed and are, apparently, a rather bitter person :-]. i apologize for overlooking the fact that there are numerous source-ports w/ jumping capablities, most DooMers could've figured that out on their own anyway. i should've spent more time revising because i noticed a shitload of mistakes after i uploaded it... oh well... i'll do better next time :-D

other than that, thanks for taking the time to review my mediocre DooM ][ WAD.

Kid Airbag
Not really a kid. Not really an airbag. WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!? Who's asking? Are you French? An airbag is a safety device in a car that inflates during a collision and blocks you from smashing your head into the dashboard or steering wheel!

Greenhouse was very nice for a fragfest! Good work.

Penguin: First, the "pyschological problems" was just my attempt at humourous exaggeration.
And you have to admit it's rather strange to suddenly go off-topic in the middle of explaining the wad's story to preach hatred against a group of people who've represented bad past experiences.
I'm no psychiatrist, but it's bizarre.

As for you thinking my review is short, that's usually a good thing. If my reviews are long it's because I found a lot of things wrong with them (although on occasion, it's because I can't stop talking about how good they are)

Hmm, no wonder I'm considering releasing my wad in my newstuff and getting a guest reviewer to review it...

What, you plan to choose the reviewer so he doesn't "ruin your reputation"? Sounds feeble...

No. The idea would be to bring in someone respected for doing honest and thorough reviews (and who has already reviewed many other wads) to give a useful independent assessment of UD's new wad. All perfectly normal and sensible.

No, I just don't like his style of reviewing IMO. He seems to focus on finding things wrong with a wad and making funny remarks about them, rather than saying what's good in a wad and making people want to download. (I've got nothing against him doing the reviews, and I hope I don't discourage him, as everyone has their own style)

Call me a cynic, but if I released my episode in newstuff 108, I'd probably get a couple of lines on the good points and about 10 lines on one or two little bad points (eg. lack of music, not enough Bond influences, using coloured fog in some places, which I think looks great given the themes) and a few funny remarks, too.

I'll be lucky to get it finished before newstuff 109 anyway, and I'd rather not review my own wad.

It's nothing to do with my reputation (which isn't brilliant anyway), it's to do with not getting a big project like this slated unfairly.

(as I know what it's like to spend months building a wad only for someone to slate it - I feel that both my previous DooM 2 wads were slated for the wrong reasons, eg. lack of music, focusing on gameplay rather than detail etc.)

UDoomer, just keep in mind that what Hyena says is just one person's opinion, one person out of an entire community. If Hyena doesn't like it, it doesn't mean no one else can like it. And the most important thing is whether or not you are satisfied with the job you've done.
