Best settings?

1: Simple rooms (eg; Entry way, Icon of Sin)
2: Dark Settings (eg: Monster Condo)
3: Outdoor (eg: Downtown)
4: Hell


???

Any others?

Expected a "What screen resolution do you prefer etc" thread.

Abstract worlds. Unrealistically large and twisted architecture. Impossibly regular and geometric shapes. I.e., Sunder.

This.

Build a cramped demon invaded bright hi-tech facility map.
The player has to destroy ridiculous numbers of lost UAC machine and
kill a few Shotgun guys which guard a power generator.

*sorry, couldn't resist consulting the Map Idea Generator*

Creepy, atmospheric maps like the latter maps of cchest2.wad. Having cool things you can see in the distance like the Eagles Nest map in DVII that has Minas Morgul in the background. And huge architecture like thespire2.wad that takes ages to finish. Those things are winners in my book.

Simple techbase with outdoor areas and dark settings.

A hellish level that resembles this one:

E1M7, but with the E1M3 donut hole and start area.

Edit: And blue key trap. Those maps combined would be E1 perfection.

Cyberpunk (If you don't know what its like take a look at the last few maps of Hacx)

Traditional Doom hell castle: green stone, hot red stone, marble, red rock, grey rock, wood...

The ones that lend themselves to good gameplay.

I like maps like ic2004/5 and Vrack, massive high detail tech bases. They look cool.

As a mapper, my rather vaguely tech-base UAC buildings are very easy to make, so I'd say they'd be my "best" setting.

As a player I actually really don't mind. I must have played good and bad maps in most styles by now.
