Spinesplitter Posted September 8, 2011 What is your favorite WAD or Megawad ever? Mine is "Community Chest 2". 0 Share this post Link to post
darkreaver Posted September 8, 2011 Another one of these threads, I see....okay. Alien Vendetta. No WAD will ever, ever come close to this one for me. And just for the sake of it, these WADs are competing for second place: -Speed of Doom -Hell Revealed 2 -Plutonia 0 Share this post Link to post
lupinx-Kassman Posted September 8, 2011 Hard to choose, but for threads like this I always fall back on Biowar. 0 Share this post Link to post
vinnie245 Posted September 8, 2011 Ill post my 3 favourite wads for each type. Megawad: Alien Vendetta, Requiem, ZPack Episodes: Hell Ground, Unloved, Threshold Of Pain TC's: PSX Doom TC, Doom 64:Absolution, Stronghold Bonus Gameplay Wad i had to add: Brutal Doom 0 Share this post Link to post
elic Posted September 8, 2011 I haven't played that many WADs, but out of everything I have played, Requiem is definitely the best. 0 Share this post Link to post
MegaDoomer Posted September 8, 2011 Too many released wads for me to pick a clear favorite. However if I was to go by individual map then E2M6 of ZPack would be a contender. 0 Share this post Link to post
Snakes Posted September 8, 2011 I've posted it so many times I honestly can't remember... Scythe?... Or was it SoD? I'll have to wander off and use the search function. BRB! 0 Share this post Link to post
MegaDoomer Posted September 8, 2011 Just to note even this year alone there's been FIVE quality megawads released or with all maps finished: 1994 Tune-up Challenge Plutonia Revistied Doom Core Reverie (awaiting music or any final testing notes before upload but is publicly available) Paul Corfiatis Community Project (yes I know it's mixed bad but there's good times to be had) Multiple others are well in the making: DTWID, Interception, Progressive Fiction, Uncaged, even Community Chest 4, and probably a few I forgot. Plus I'm tempted to call Vanguard and Lunatic a megawad when combined. I can't even dissern a clear favorite from the list (stuck between Reverie or Plutonia Revisited), so trying to get one for Doom's entire history won't happpen for me, I'm afraid. EDIT: There's actually SIX with all maps finished - I forgot about Jenesis. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted September 8, 2011 ZDCMP#1 will always have a place in my heart as the map that got me back into Doom in a big way when I first played it all that time ago. It made me realise there were better editors than DEU2 about, ZDoom was there with all it's fancy new-ness to be explored and that there was a large and active community producing high quality stuff for Doom still. 0 Share this post Link to post
Katamori Posted September 8, 2011 I have a long list. A bit old and sometimes not exact, but most of them are true. :) 1. Stronghold: On The Edge of Chaos My favourite ever! Amazing structures, incredible technical features, the real feeling of the Skulltag - on GZDoom! That's it. Sometimes hard and boring, but I think this is the biggest problem. 2. Super Sonic Doom My old favourite. Not so much reference to Sonic, but levels are nice, tricky and there are a lot of themes. I loved this long stuff. 3. Aeons of Death The maxing madness of the best stuff! Recently I didn't play it much, but doesn't matter. This is the WAD, which give you the ability of replaying a WAD with several different ways. 4. Invasion UAC The best multiplayer WAD on ZDaemon. 5. Claustrophobia 1024 & 1024 2 Amazing design, good concept. Love it. 6. Eternal Doom III This WAD is too long, boring and hard, however it has a fantastic theme, design, architecture and story - unlike most of the WADs around 1996. 7. Revolution! Simple, easy, nice! I love the design of realistic places. 8. TNT: Evilution The best IWAD ever. Fantastic levels with special feeling. 9. Scythe 2 5 themes with pistol start. Why we want anything more? Great! 10. Daedalus Not as good as the previous ones, but also nice. I enjoyed it, however I've never finished yet, 11. Zen Dynamics Apocalyptic madness through 8 levels! Hard, but nice stuff. 12. Community Chest 3 The levels from MAP01 to MAP17 (including the secret ones) were great. I didn't like the remaining ones. 13. NeoDoom My first special WAD. Several themes, nice design, new stuff. Try it! 14. Deus Vult II THE REAL APOCALYPSE! Epic stuff. 15. Scythe Short, well-designed levels. The best work of Erik Alm. 16. 1Monster Great design to the interesting concept. Cool. 17. H2H: Xmas The best Xmas-themed WADs since the mid-90's. 18. Dimensions of Time Amateur, short and easy stuff, however it might be a good spending of time for you. 0 Share this post Link to post

Aww, missed out by one! :( 17. H2H: Xmas The best Xmas-themed WADs since the mid-90's. I've not played this myself - I'll see if I can remember to get round to it this christmas. Did you ever play Twisted Joke BTW? 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted September 8, 2011 Because I can't narrow it down to one... Alien Vendetta, Icarus, Evilution, Doom 2, Plutonia, Memento Mori series, Requiem, Speed of Doom, and Back to Saturn X. Any megawad that's fun is my favorite megawad. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Did you ever play Twisted Joke BTW? 1. Maybe I'll continue it later, but that level 18: Subduction is not good enough for me. And I don't like cheating to skip the level. However, once it might be necessary... 2. Twisted Joke is one damned level. Cool, nice, funny, etc., but ONLY ONE LEVEL! H2H Xmas is a bit simple and buggy, but contains 32 maps, and I think that's funny to play in late December. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
yuri04 Posted September 8, 2011 i really enjoyed 2002 a doom odyssey, its level design was perfect though maybe a little bit repetitive. also liked threshold of pain, the rebirth and as regards IWADS, i like evilution. 0 Share this post Link to post

I really should try that out this year then! Perhaps next time I go for a Christmas map I'll try for a small episode then... and bigger maps than DAC2009 too. 0 Share this post Link to post

C30N9 Posted September 8, 2011 valkiriforce said:Everything that's still on my hard drive. Wow.wad :P Anyway, I haven't chose one before, and it is pretty hard, because I don't play much famous wads. Yes, I didn't play AV! (I was hopping around). But I can say Plutonia Revisited Community Project. I would remove "Community Project" since it doesn't show anything from being a community. The detail level seems good and same to all maps. You wouldn't expect that from a normal community project, would you? 0 Share this post Link to post

purist Posted September 8, 2011 Scythe. Short, neat, fun maps. Just about the right amount of details and an emphasis on gameplay. Plus, all by one author (excepting one secret map). 0 Share this post Link to post
hex11 Posted September 8, 2011 The entire Classic series: class_ep.wad, classic10b.wad, classic11.wad And pretty much all the other vanilla Doom maps by the same authors. There's probably enough to make an entire megawad out of them... 0 Share this post Link to post

PRIMEVAL Posted September 8, 2011 Had a lot of fun with Whispers of Satan. Vanguard was also really fun for the first 75% of it. Slipgate Project just because it was a great tribute to the original Quake. So far, Reverie and Unholy Realms will be making it in my top 10 or maybe even top 5 once done ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post

Memfis Posted September 8, 2011 Plutonia 2, I think. Its gameplay is absolutely amazing, especially on Gusta's non-linear maps. 0 Share this post Link to post
