Doom Trooper Posted March 25, 2018 What is your most favorite level in Inferno and why? I happen to like "Hell Keep" because I love the open concept with the inferno sky and how the top of the pentagram floats above the ground and is outside but in an enclosed space. I think of this pentagram as more of a gateway to hell rather then just another exit. Not to go off topic, but something about it also reminds me of the one in Phobos Anomaly? 1 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted March 25, 2018 A toss up between e3m6 and e3m7. e3m6 is the city map that started it all, and e3m7 is just so magical with its low monster count and puzzle-like progression. I simply can't choose one. 5 Share this post Link to post
GarrettChan Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Structure wise: E3M6. Concept wise: E3M9. Edited March 25, 2018 by GarrettChan 1 Share this post Link to post
leodoom85 Posted March 25, 2018 Mt. Erebus is what I remember the most and like it with House of Pain as a close second. BUT......all of you forgot this!!! 11 Share this post Link to post
ReX Posted March 25, 2018 For me, it's a toss-up between E3M5, E3M6, and E3M7. I know that E3M5 (Unholy Cathedral) doesn't get much love, but the architecture and level design more than make up for the disorientation caused by the multiple teleporters. 3 Share this post Link to post
DiEnd Posted March 25, 2018 E3M5. The architecture just sells it. I also like E3M7 for it's teleport maze. I remember beating it for the first time 20 years ago - that was absolutely fantastic. 3 Share this post Link to post
silentzorah Posted March 25, 2018 E3M9. It's a great idea I've only ever seen in a PWAD one other time. 3 Share this post Link to post
⇛Marnetmar⇛ Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) I'd say E3M6 is the most objectively well-designed. All of the other E3 maps have questionable design choices that are glaring enough to make them unenjoyable for me. 1 Share this post Link to post
Lila Feuer Posted March 26, 2018 Mt. Erebus is the peek of Inferno's greatness, otherwise I also find myself really enjoying the creepy atmosphere of Limbo. 1 Share this post Link to post

HAK3180 Posted March 26, 2018 I always liked Slough of Despair growing up. The music certainly contributed. 1 Share this post Link to post
theJF Posted March 26, 2018 All of the levels are my favourites, except for E3M1, which is awful. But my most favourite is of course Mt Erebus. I still have the distant memory of playing it for the first time and thinking "this map is not like the others." 1 Share this post Link to post
antares031 Posted March 26, 2018 Every level from episode 3 is pretty good, except Dis. But if I have to pick only one, my vote goes to Mt. Erebus. 4 Share this post Link to post
Visplane Overflow! Posted March 26, 2018 E3M9 For sure... When first i enter the map im feel like 'WTF? Back to e3m1?!' but when i reached the final room , its a cyberdemon boss fight! And added some tricks n trap there. 1 Share this post Link to post
seed Posted March 26, 2018 That's going to be Limbo for me. It's no easy choice honestly since the entire Inferno is awesome (except you-know-what), but out of all maps I liked this one the most, primarily due to the atmosphere. Many people seem to have enjoyed Mt Erebus the most, well, I didn't like it so much to count it among my favorites honestly. 1 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted March 26, 2018 I like Erebus a lot, I've always loved open maps like the Factory and Dead Zone as well, but in Episode 3 Limbo is probably my favourite. I like the flow of the map and I was always satisfied to max Limbo, including using the rad suits to minimise damage ahead of the exit to the final battle. 0 Share this post Link to post

Uni Posted March 26, 2018 E3M7: Limbo. It has great atmosphere, nice architecture and puzzles to solve. It also uses its opposition in quite a challenging way even if the count is low. Probably one of the best looking maps in Doom. 1 Share this post Link to post
Uncle 80 Posted March 26, 2018 Tough choice indeed... E3M3 it is today. I dig the whole episode, well maybe except map 2 which is a little uneventful compared to the others. 0 Share this post Link to post

SaladBadger Posted March 27, 2018 E3M2 has a really bad reputation and I see where a lot of it comes from, but I think I like the basic concept of it. sort of openish cliffs level with a cool enough texture scheme in my eyes at least. I don't think it plays particularly well but I think it could be something better. My favorite is probably E3M6 though. It also has a good texturing theme and nice exploration. 2 Share this post Link to post
KVELLER Posted March 29, 2018 I hadn't given it much thought, but... I don't know which is my favorite. I like E3M1, E3M2, E3M3, E3M7 and E3M9 (unpopular opinion here, I don't like E3M6 at all). If I choose one by concept alone, E3M9 wins of course. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMingo Posted March 29, 2018 When I played Doom at the first time, my favourite EP3 levels was E3M2 and E3M5 for the thematics: a swamp and a "cathedral". Today I prefer, E3M3- hell-base mix complex. E3M6- all is said in this thread: first open village, on a lava island. E3M7- that oppresive idea: you are lost in a damage blood maze, you don't know where to go exactly, I think that concept represents what hell is. 0 Share this post Link to post
NuMetalManiak Posted March 30, 2018 E3M7 is elite. I like breather levels that also become puzzle levels. 0 Share this post Link to post
