If I could only vote for a single wad, it would be BTSX, no contest. Absolutely blew me away. And I'd happy seeing any of these other guys win, too: Unholy Realms D2TWID Stardate 20X6 PirateDoom 0 Share this post Link to post
TerminusEst13 Posted November 23, 2013 http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=37815 Fractal Doom for mockaward. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted November 23, 2013 OK, December is approaching, so it's a good time to give my opinion: Doom 2 The Way ID Did Zone 300 ConC.E.R.N.Ed Hellbound Also, and I know this is unlikely, in case they are finished by then, I also propose: TNT 2: Devilution Doom 2 In Name Only 0 Share this post Link to post
Demonologist Posted November 23, 2013 Slaughterfest 2012 Stardate 20X6 Swim With The Whales Pirate Doom Soulcrusher Hellbound (pretty boring gameplay-wise to be honest, but leveldesign redeems it all) I guess that's all that impressed me in one way or another, but I should also add ConC.E.R.Ned and Unholy Realms to the list since they're worth mentioning anyway, even if they aren't exactly what I like sometimes. Zone 300 was fun enough. As for single levels - Forsaken Overlook was really neat, even though the beginning with its prolonged punching and shotgunning drags a bit. Ribbiks for mapper of the year. I don't think this statement should be elaborated. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gothic Posted November 24, 2013 Oh, and if Mockaward is still alive this year, I nominate Mayhem Mansion 0 Share this post Link to post
HK!D Posted November 24, 2013 My Top 3 nominations: -Stardate 20X6 -Pirate Doom -Futility I'd also like to nominate WOOO for the Mockawards, if it's being done this year. 0 Share this post Link to post
IMX Posted November 25, 2013 I want to add my nomination for Hellbound too. Oh man what a fucking awesome wad 0 Share this post Link to post
TMD Posted November 25, 2013 Fractal Doom for mod of the year, if mockaward doesnt exist. It brought me back to doing doom and doom2 again. Its fun, it makes the game a bit of a challenge again. Its everything a cacoward should be. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scuba Steve Posted November 26, 2013 Oh shit, Cacowards 10 is coming up soon! 0 Share this post Link to post
Netherstorm Posted November 26, 2013 Hellbound - really superb wad, I love how it starts out as well. Doom II The Way ID Did - pure greatness All I have for nominations, let's hope both of these golden wads make it in. 0 Share this post Link to post
LodiB88 Posted November 26, 2013 Well here's my tentative guessing, based on what I've seen: Hellbound Concerned D2TWID One of Ribbicks' wads Unholy Realms Foresaken Overlook Pirate Doom (if not fully completed is eligible) BTSXE1 (same as above) There's eight guesses. Really no educated guess on the other two though a Chris Hansen map and either Interception or Hadephobia seem plausible possibilities. 0 Share this post Link to post
purist Posted November 26, 2013 I don't think I'll play anything else new from this year but I've actually played some stuff this year thanks in part to the DWMWC's bi-monthly modern megawad. Anyway, of what I've played the 3 that have impressed me most are: D2TWiD Excellent mimicry of original Doom II-ness, which, as a bonus, actually felt like a cool original style since PWAD's rarely follow Doom II's style cues. Back to Saturn X I just about got over the silly names and steep inclination in weapon and monster progression to really marvel and the wonders still possible to wring out of the original .exe. For me this exceeds even Suspended in Dusk for Vanilla technical feats. Stardate 20X6 Feels like a game of it's own. A Japanese megadrive game converted from an arcade display deemed too sadistic for public consumption perhaps. I couldn't finish this in any difficulty but I saw enough to appreciate the cool style and meta-gamey micro slaughter battles set up for you. A mapper hitting his strides here for sure. 0 Share this post Link to post
plums Posted November 26, 2013 LodiB88 said:Pirate Doom (if not fully completed is eligible) What is not complete about Pirate Doom? It doesn't have 32 levels, but not everything has to. I guess it still gets updates now and then but I'd still consider it 'complete'. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted November 27, 2013 Pirates Doom and Hellbound are my Cacoward nominations. Also, Samsara for best gameplay mod. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bandwart Posted November 28, 2013 Wow I'm late to the party! I didn't get much time to play many good Wads, but out of the ones I did, my nominations go to Temple of the Lizardmen 3 and Damnation. 0 Share this post Link to post
punnyone Posted November 28, 2013 I've already put down BTSX episode 1 and Pirate Doom as definite nominations. I'd also add D2TWID to the list. It far exceeded my expectations and I really enjoyed it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Demonologist Posted November 29, 2013 Completely forgot about Back To Saturn X E1, I actually liked it (especially map31, more-more-more). Guess it's possible to un-beta it 'til the end of the year. 0 Share this post Link to post

Retog Posted December 1, 2013 900 deep in the dead: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=17287 This wad is a lot of fun. It is the most fun I have had in a doom wad in a long time. The use of 100 linedef limit is extremely impressive. Especially E1M7. That level is huge for 100 linedefs. I highly recommend this wad. It definitely deserves a mention in the next cacowards! 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted December 2, 2013 Recently Darkreaver said something about maybe taking some of his leftover maps and using them for Plutonium Winds, but I've sent a message to him saying he should post here to clarify. 0 Share this post Link to post

DeathevokatioN Posted December 2, 2013 I've always thought there was some unwritten rule that if a wad isn't uploaded to idgames it doesn't count as "finished"... this could all be in my head though. 0 Share this post Link to post
