The only map I remember thinking was bad in ZPack, period, was one I think was early in E2 that was just a bunch of spuriously detailed square rooms connected by hallways and doors. Basically your average amateurish map but with a veneer of floor or ceiling detail and maybe a few ZDoom features. I have no idea why they included it.

i think map21 (nirvana) is a great map. it has frenetic tempo, a few simple puzzles and it's a whole bunch of fun. it also has the awesomest speedrunning trick in doom2, the YK bars strafeglide. people bash it because it's a sandy map, disconnected and speedmappish, yet it pummels most of your precious e2/e3 maps into the ground. maps like nirvana paved the way to fun-oriented wads like scythe.

We all been there. Downloading a wad, playing through it, and loving it. Then finding out that everyone else in the community hates it and rates it bad for various reasons. But it doesn't bother you, because you think that wad is great and entertaining.

I thin you're referring to E2M2, by InsanityBringer. I found that one of the most boring maps too. Might be E2M4 by Icytux though - although I recall that being a little better at least.

Adam Windsor's Requiem maps. Everybody calls them the "filler" maps, but I really enjoy them for what they are. The thing about Requiem I think is brilliant is that everyone just sticks to what they're good at; Iikka makes crazy Doom level tricks like 3D bridges and lifts and stuff. Anthony Czerwonka for the strong aesthetic designs and awesome textures being put to good use (that doomguy crucifix comes to mind). Dario Casali for a good, challenging Plutonia-esque battle stage. And Adam Windsor for small, action-packed levels that are quick and violent. That's what I love about Requiem, you can recognize all the different mapping styles and I think they work well together as a megawad.

I seemed to be one of very few people who enjoyed playing cjwright's maps though.

Mine is psycophobia. Really, I've seen tons of topics where people hated on this wad, but I never really understood all the hate. I played most of it, and loved how it was done. I liked the gameplay of pretty much every map in there. Even the levels that were hated amongst people who actually played it, I liked. I still have it, and I use it's lab map often, as it's very entertaining watching custom monsters pitted against each other. Good, clean fun.

What's yours?
