Wads with best visuals?

Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend some wads that have really good visuals? I am trying to learn how to detail my map, because it is really barren and empty. I figure a good way to learn is to observe some of the best looking wads out there and find inspiration from them. I also really want to play them and see the designs. Any wads you would like to recommend? Doesn't have to have good gameplay, just beautiful design. any replies are appreciated, thanks

Obviously there are plenty more, but that's a good start.

You're just looking for inspiration in terms of visuals, is that right? I highly recommend AeonDM.pk3, DbabRM.pk3, chaoscore CTF, amath.wad and udmx.wad. All for DM or CTF, but frankly some of the nicest looking map packs ever released, honestly no wad I've ever played looks as good as most maps in AeonDM. They're all here: https://doomshack.org/wads/

Breach is probably the most impressively detailed map i've seen.

Surprised no one's mentioned the Back to Saturn X episodes yet. Hard to say how much if it is simply the gorgeous texture pack, but there's a lot of amazing vistas in there.

Horde2.wad by SR69MM-JC, is a somewhat new and quite impressively detailed map pack for coop gameplay. It makes use of a Dynamic Spawning System (DSS) for the monsters, which counts the current number of players alive and accordingly spawns those buggers for each part of the map separately, which is pretty interesting!
