LucidLocomotive Posted April 17, 2020 The level order in the PC Master Levels is alphabetical, but in the current Classic Doom port on modern consoles, the levels are arranged in a different order. Does anyone know the logic behind the ordering? 2 Share this post Link to post
Andromeda Posted April 17, 2020 Good question, would like to know for certain as well. My first guess is that it's ordered in terms of difficulty but there's a few outliers, so it can't be that. 0 Share this post Link to post
ZeroTheEro Posted April 18, 2020 From what I see, it's a mix of whose collection of maps in an alphabetical order and then gave up on the latter. and just went "fuck it". The last two maps of the TEETH series is understandable because they ate up a slot for secret levels. The current Doom Classic arrangement of the Master Levels follow the previous Doom Classic release on PSN btw. 0 Share this post Link to post
dmslr Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Can you share a screenshot of the list? I don't have this port and the doomwiki page of the master levels hasn't been updated yet. Edit: nevermind. Found in google images. Edited April 18, 2020 by dmslr 0 Share this post Link to post
SiFi270 Posted April 18, 2020 It's in order of which Doom 2 map they replace, and any maps in the same spot are arranged alphabetically. 3 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Master_Levels_for_Doom_II Xbox order is by alphabetical order of the file names. PSN order is by map slot first, and within a map slot, it is alphabetical. For the PSX order, the start isn't strictly alphabetical, since it goes ATTACK - VIRGIL - CANYON - COMBINE - CATWALK before resuming proper alphabetical order. I suppose they started with alphabetical order, then after some playtesting shuffled VIRGIL and COMBINE around a bit. As a MAP03, VIRGIL isn't really a followup to VESPERAS' MAP09, and likewise I suppose COMBINE was found easier than CATWALK. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chip Posted April 18, 2020 I thought it was always by the developer who made it, but now I would agree with SiFi270. 8 hours ago, SiFi270 said: It's in order of which Doom 2 map they replace, and any maps in the same spot are arranged alphabetically. 0 Share this post Link to post
