turkeyjerky1991 Posted May 31, 2016 What are your favorites from Doom I, II, Master Levels, Final Doom, and No Rest for the Living? Also, below are the original Doom levels featured in Doom 2016. By looking at them, do you think the devs chose them because they are great levels or because they work well with the new guns and character movement (jumping)? Entryway Doom 2 Map01 Hangar E1M1 Nuclear Plant E1M2 Toxin Refinery E1M3 Halls of the Damned E2M6 Slough of Despair E3M2 Underhalls Doom 2 Map02 Phobos Lab E1M5 Tower of Babel E2M8 Phobos Anomaly E1M8 House of Pain E3M4 Command Control E1M4 Pandemonium E3M3 0 Share this post Link to post
Kira Posted May 31, 2016 I found it amusing that my favorite levels on Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 were all Romero and McGee's works (e.g. most of E1, E4M2, E4M6, MAP11, MAP14, MAP22, MAP29...). And I love most of Plutonia with a few exceptions, though the Casali brothers' works on TNT didn't do much to me. That's probably the most boring favorite list you can get, sorry. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't for the latter reason. 0 Share this post Link to post

I was amused by how consistent my preferences were, as I didn't know who made what when I formed my opinion. Good is subjective but well, yeah, to me they were way ahead of the other level designers. 0 Share this post Link to post
RyoAsuka Posted June 1, 2016 I enjoy all of them though I find E2M6 to be my favourite. Great mix of action and horror. 0 Share this post Link to post
BigDickBzzrak Posted June 1, 2016 My favorite maps are: Doom 1: E2M2, E1M4, E1M2, E2M1, E4M7, E4M4 + all the secret ones. Doom 2: MAP02, MAP10, MAP07, MAP08, all the city maps, MAP27, MAP24, MAP25, MAP3x. Haven't played Final Doom and stuff... yet. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted June 1, 2016 My favorite levels from the original two Doom games are probably E1M3, E1M6, E1M7, E2M2, E3M3; MAP08, MAP10, MAP11, MAP14, MAP29. 0 Share this post Link to post
SavageCorona Posted June 1, 2016 [Trying not to mention E4M2 in a best Doom map thread] This post is an oxymoron in itself. E4M2 is the best map. 0 Share this post Link to post
kuchitsu Posted June 1, 2016 Evilution has a kickass chain of Map18-Map21. Four big impressive levels, all with very strong mood and memorable design decisions. Definitely one of the greatest parts of all iwads in my eyes. 0 Share this post Link to post
WeRtheFastHeadcrabz Posted June 2, 2016 I like all the boss levels from 1 and 2 (yes, even Dis), but some other non-boss favourites are Mt. Erebus, Slough of Despair, Hell Keep (I always found it cute!), All the E1 levels are straight classics, and the final hell levels of Doom 2 were so cool to me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fonze Posted June 2, 2016 Evolution; all of them. 04, 08 (metal, with its Heretic tribute), 13, 19, 26, 27, 29, 31, and 32 in particular. Richard Heath's maps from NRftL, especially Vivisection. Plutonia has a few, but I always forget what number they are; 32 is a classic. Doom 2's later maps. E3>E4=E2>E1 0 Share this post Link to post

I think this is the first time I've seen a positive mention of Metal. It's like Habitat tier in terms of aesthetics and gameplay. Either way, the following map 09 is strictly superior for killing large numbers of hitscanners! 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted June 2, 2016 Ultimate Doom: E2M1, E2M6 (moreso it's PSX variant though), E3M6, E4M8 Doom II: MAP02, MAP14, MAP27 TNT: MAP16, MAP23, MAP31 Plutonia: MAP01, MAP03, MAP18. 0 Share this post Link to post
valkiriforce Posted June 2, 2016 Doom 1 E1 E4 Doom 2 Dead Simple, Tricks and Traps, The Pit, Refueling Base, Circle of Death, Downtown, Industrial Zone, Suburbs, Gotcha!, The Abandoned Mines, The Living End Master Levels Attack, Canyon, Catwalk, Titan Manor, Trapped On Titan, Black Tower, The Express Elevator To Hell The Plutonia Experiment (all of it except maybe a few maps) TNT System Control, Stronghold, Redemption, Storage Facility, Processing Area, Mill, Shipping/Respawning, Central Processing, Administration Center, Mount Pain, Heck, River Styx, Last Call, Pharaoh, Caribbean But if I really had to narrow it down it would probably come down to The Pit, Downtown, Industrial Zone, Trapped on Titan, Congo, Well of Souls, The Sewers, Mill, Administration Center, Last Call, Pharaoh and Caribbean. I especially think a level like "Pharaoh" inspired me for the beautiful atmosphere and wide open space for exploration. It's the kind of place I'd like to imagine myself running around and getting lost in. 0 Share this post Link to post
