I'll list 5 and they are,

Crusades- Great gameplay and superb atmosphere.
Chord3- For being forced to punch out Revenants, Barons of hell, and Archviles. Superb atmosphere. A non linear layout, and a killer finale.
Null Space- Superb texture and flat work and just enough detail. Great atmosphere, stunning architecture, a non linear layout and a series of epic fights.
Hell Revealed- For it's insanity and unique design style.
The Plutonia Experiment- For it's trap heavy chaotic gameplay and unique design style.

TNT, for its all-around awesome maps and textures. I don't like the music though.

Hmm... I guess... It's RTC-3057. Because it is... Wow. Yeah, it is really cool. And, continuing the list, it'll be Alien Vendetta (really GOOD gameplay and beautiful not overdetailed maps), Deus Vult (because it is something... enormous), Cheogsh (because THIS style, THIS atmosphere and THIS feeling is unique) and, I think, a lot of others. Action Doom, for example, is really fantastic experience, made me really remember the old times...

Wow.WAD because I can't believe that people are still cracking on it nearly 10 years after its creation. It practically coined the term "illusio-pit" that I still hear every now and then (legendary material I tell you!) Who would've thought that a glorious 12 linedefs configured into the shape of a square room with a Cyb, BFG, and no exit (and of course the signature illusio-pit) would become one of the most iconic and recognizable WADs in Doom history. It just blows my mind. The author was a freakin' genius. =O

This is my top ten

1.cdoom64
why?:because it has all the best levels ever from most of the console ports its a blast to view back on all those gaming memorys all at once.

2.action doom
why?:because its a very well done wad I love the weapons sprites sounds music and levels the only fault is that there is only 1hp but I guess that was for the contra part of the game

3.Kdizd
this is a remake of my favorite game knee deep in the dead and let me just say I loved it,the levels are great and the dificulty is hard,the amount of detail is amazing too it is 10 levels of pure action!

4.tcgold2.pk3/tcotd2.pk3(aka the city of the damned
why because this is a very fun wad in multiplayer its exciting and with the blood weapons and the blood dude you wont be scared one bit the creatures may terrorise the civilians but they have never gone up against death its self this pk3 wil bring a huge smile to your face

5.Redoomv2.wad
why:it isnt released yet but from the demo that's being made you'll will be shocket at the detail put into this wad,and new features new modes like ctf and dm with there own custom levels in addition to the coop this wad brings tnt.wad plutonia.wad doom2.wad doom1.wad(shareware) all into one game 9 levels per episode but in all 36 episodes this is bigger then any megawad,and will bring back the best of dooming memorys in a brand new skin

6.zendynamics
why?I loved this wad its not tooeasy and not too hard and is very addicting

7.xxx-mercenaries
why?This is a great wad this has more wapons then any other that I have ever played and cool character models too

8.d3_weapons_mod.wad
Why?its almost a perfect version of doom 3 weapons where only missing a few but who cares I found that all my favorite guns where there,revenge of evil will have them all

9.d3mod.wad
why?this is another doom3 weapons mod but this also has its own charm
the weapons werent ripped from anywhere the guy who made it drew them by hand and the interesting thing is instead of using the doom3 shotgun he used the doom 3 e3 alpha shotgun with the modern sound which goes extremly well together.the monsters look great also even if he ripped a whole bunch of them like the imp is a grey doom64 imp but who cares it looks great and the cacodemon is a duke nukem octobrain and etc the ssg is also from blood

10.doom64 absolution tc
Its nearly a perfect port of dooom64 and the fact that it uses a jdoom engine is even better it looks great and brings back good memorys but its at 10 because doom 64 ex is out its still great

Eternal Doom : My very first PWAD ever played, and I still didn't get bored of. Great music, big epic maps and fights make this mapset unforgottable. I had hopes DV2 could be its closest contender, unfortunately it isn't, well, we only got the demo for now. ED4 it's still too early to judge it (well, go play map27 of it immediately if not done yet).
GULAG (Heretic) : Easily the best Heretic PWAD I've found by now (in the idgames archives). If you haven't played it, go get it now. This 5-map set is an adventure by itself, rumbling through all sorts of caverns, beaches, abandonned or full of critters cities, and that final fight... Heretic epicness in all its glory. Want more!

Honorable mentions :

Scythe 2 : I disliked Scythe I because most levels were short, lack of atmosphere and looked plain... Scythe 2 fixed all of that. Nifty 5-level themed episodes (egyptian theme being the best)
AV : Misri Halek comes out to be to the best map out this incredible, legendary mapset.
KS : Gonna love the mapper's style, big cities in flames, lots of maps got this epic feeling but map29 is the most outstanding among others.
TNT.wad map 4
Requiem city maps 13 and 27
Super Sonic Doom as a whole (some boring levels)
HocX (big monster feasts for Heretic)

Most irritating map I'm playing on right now :
Tormentor666's "More tricks and traps", Zpack E2M3. Ouch.

Its nearly a perfect port of dooom64 and the fact that it uses a jdoom engine is even better it looks great and brings back good memorys but its at 10

now for the ones I hated

1.scythe
why because the levels suck there way too short and for the size you'd think there would be good amount of detail no there isnt the most detail they put is when there making lights
2.scythe2
why because the levels are much better in this but still I find the the levels way to bland
3.hell revealed
why Alot of people love this wad except me althrough the level desing was good and there where a few levels I liked but past map12 the levels start getting wierd and loss their charm
4.alien vendetta the levels are pretty fun but once you beat it you dont want to play it anymore
5.repuime is horrible except its really fun online
6.one monster this was pretty fun off and online but there are so many better wads I find
7.tcgold extremly fun online (with other wads) alone online its okay offline its unplayeble for me
8.cheogsh
why?its only one map but it is very well done so then why do I hate it well because It could have been a great mega considering the detail put into it(which is alot) I would have loved to see a 32 level version of this
9.cold as hell
why?the wad is called cah speaking it sounds like ca ) say ca twise you get caca=poop=poo=shit=terd and its exactly what it is this was only fun on one map but the weapons look really cool and the story is there so the maps suck but the rest is good
10.eternal doom
why ?this started out very well the music was great in every level and there are some neat new texures but after about map11the fun meter goes from10 and down map12 was 9 13 was 8 14 was 715 was 6 and etc too the point where I had to force my self to play I do recommend playing this wad (for the begining)because it is one hell of a start but the rest of the levels past map11 are just so long and boring but I do recommend all the wads I listed because I didn't like them because of taste but every wad is worth trying and who knows maybe you'll really enjoy what I hated hope you try every wad (the ones I liked and the once I hated

sorry about double post

You hate Scythe, Scythe2, HR, AV, Requium, and Eternal Doom? Heh, you're one of the few people I've heard of that hates that many of the above listed. I'd almost think you said that to be contrary. =[

Anyway, the thread we're in now is about the coolest WADs while this one is about the most hated ones.

So it was awesome but it really wasn't because he didn't spend the rest of his life making 31 other maps like that?

I guess I went I little over board I needed spots too fil up so I just started putting in random wads like cheogsh but I'm really not a fan of 32 level mega wads the levels are just so long and boring except eteranl but I only played that for the first 11 or 14 levels then it started to get bad (my opinion please dont take it seriously)but for the other wads they each have a charm and I enjoyed all of them but those are my least fav

I'm not following his logic at all. He hates Cheogsh because he wishes it were a 32 level megaWAD, but he hates Scythe2 and HR because they're 32 level megaWADs which are long and boring. Hmm.... =/
I think he just wants to be contrary, ATM.

On a side note, I'm getting assaulted by pineapples. I think my pop-up blocker is malfunctioning or something.

I guess I shouldn't have said hate
and i wrote I didnt like cold as hell maps not the name I liked the guns and the story and cheogsh I think I went a little overboard I apologies I just think it would be cooler with a few more maps thats it

I liked every wad I play but when I said hate I meant to say least favorite but I'd rather use a 4 letter word then 2 two words that have more letters then hate

just forget what I said can someone remove that post please Im not here to make enemys

Don't worry about it. You're entitled to your opinion. You'd probably be better off to type exactly what you mean in order to convey the right thing, though... to avoid confusion. =)

Oh, back to the epic pineapple pop-up struggle, I just amped up my current pop-up blocker to maximum security and it's working so far, but I suppose I'll get adblock plus if something mysteriously gets through though. I think turning pop-up blockers that high messes up some scripts that websites need you to run, though, since they are considered pop-ups. Can adblock distinguish between them? Hmm... =/

Too much milk spoils the taste of the heroin - I thought everyone knew that.

Back on topic - maybe not the best wads I've ever played but amongst the most memorable are the Serenity series (Serenity, Eternity & Infinity) from Holger and Bjorn.

This is pretty much the only internet site I get such ads on (large hacky popups centered on the screen). Pressing the stop button quickly before the page fully loaded was my main strategy but I guess I'll try that firefox extension.

My favorite wad is probably obhack (oblige with more options) if that counts.

It's not my FAVORITE, but I really enjoyed it and have been begging Russell for a sequel ever since; Doom Raider. Russell, if you hear me, we need more Doom Raider! Maybe we can work out an Indiana Jones theme where you get a cool revolver and a whip and some scripted stuff where you have to use it to swing over holes by whipping onto outcropped ledges... just a thought.
