BlackFyre Posted August 19, 2003 Yes, ladies and gents, it's that time again...the Hall of Shame! Place your nominations here. My vote: Labrynith 2 If a wad was ever made to show aspiring mappers what NOT to do, this would be it. Shoddy gameplay and design, terrible texture usage, and every mapping faux pas in the book and some never even seen before. 0 Share this post Link to post
CacodemonLeader Posted August 19, 2003 motion.wad. It's absolutely terrible and impossible to finish without cheating. I'm sure the guy who made that map made some more terrible ones after this... 0 Share this post Link to post
Draconio Posted August 19, 2003 Worst I've seen so far: Wow Days of Xornox is also terrible, but not really worst-ever material... unfortunately. I'll add more after I check my collection. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted August 19, 2003 Motion.wad can be finished without cheating. I really don't understand why that idea has gained such currency. What part of the map is claimed to be impossible? Baldy: thanks for the link to the guy's other wad; I'll definitely play it. EDIT: Liftll.wad isn't as interesting as Motion.wad. :( 0 Share this post Link to post
sargebaldy Posted August 19, 2003 i never said i didn't enjoy them. they actually do reach the point of bad where they're funny. hmm, you can finish it? i'll have to look closer. 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted August 19, 2003 Actually it could be more interesting/fun to do a thread called: "Crap wads that you can't help but love anyway". 0 Share this post Link to post

beezee88 Posted August 19, 2003 Escape.wad really has got to be one of the crapper wads around... It'ssupposed to have a story and all, ha! edit: lesee, story... blahblahblah, bullbullbull, doomguy wants to escape from scotland? I know the feeling. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nanami Posted August 20, 2003 Sarge and I tried to coop world.wad and that kind of failed it. It wasn't so much that it was "bad," just that it was so old (I think) that the detail and texturing was incredibly bland. All the levels had pretty much the same texturing, and there were virtually no height changes except for the occasional archway. If that ISN'T really old then whoever made it really sucks. =P 0 Share this post Link to post
Manc Posted August 20, 2003 I've played too many bad wads to name one in particular. 0 Share this post Link to post
sargebaldy Posted August 20, 2003 heh nami, you haven't played many old wads if you think world.wad is all that bad. it is bland as hell though, and therefore not even fun in a fun-bad way. you want to shoot yourself after playing three or four maps. but overall it's still better than about half the crap in the archives. 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMBoy Posted August 21, 2003 This has to be one of the worst Heretic pwads I've ever played. What makes it worse is that it covers more than one level. 0 Share this post Link to post
l33t_bomber Posted August 23, 2003 I think sq2.wad is the worst wad I've ever played! 0 Share this post Link to post

Carnevil Posted August 23, 2003 Cyb said:http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=8183 WOW There is bad, and then there's "doomjr" I'd call it "bad", but I think we need a whole new word to describe the pure awfulness that is doomjr. It's on it's own tier for shit. If 1337.wad is a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10, doomjr is at LEAST a -800. God damn, it was like playing a SLIGE megawad! Man! That was just terrible! I need a shower after playing that just to cleanse all the shit off! lol, you've gotten a lot better Cyb, but that wad just SCREAMS "n00b~!!!11" 0 Share this post Link to post
DarkWolf Posted August 23, 2003 A few: Bakaroo1.wad Base.wad combat.wad 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted August 23, 2003 I'm sure there must be worse wads than the ones mentioned so far. What about wads with massive featureless mazes (tagged not to show up on the automap) and places that just kill you for no reason? Maikl has recorded demos on lots of bad maps (you can get them at DSDA). He's simply chewing his way through ultimate doom pwads in alphabetical order, good bad or indifferent. DarkWolf mentioned: Bakaroo1.wad: Maikl said "Stupid map, many glitches.". Base.wad: Maikl said "The map is big and not enough considered, it has some glitches with textures of walls.". combat.wad: Maikl said "Nice combat. No secrets.". There are plenty of maps where he has been much less polite in his brief comments (e.g. "LAME MAP!!! Suck! 8(((((" featured in a recent batch). Oh, and if people are thinking about which of the deliberate bad wads is most annoying, take a look at Paul Corfiatis's Spacia. 0 Share this post Link to post
DarkWolf Posted August 23, 2003 Hrmm, right, I didn't mean they were the worst ever. They're just ones I particularly noted when I went through some (Ultimate) Doom maps. 0 Share this post Link to post

Little Faith Posted August 24, 2003 Doom32 does have some nice maps in it. As far as I remember map31 should be fairly fun. 0 Share this post Link to post
