duncan Posted April 25, 2004 Is it just me or are tech bases the most horrible form of doom levels POSSIBLE? All these reviewers lap them in hungrily, but I despise the bloody things. Am I just being a totally awkward retard or are there others that think like me out there!!!??? 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted April 25, 2004 My personal favorite are bases with grey walls and blue floors. Very clean, very cool. 0 Share this post Link to post
duncan Posted April 25, 2004 lol ok i guess i am a retard. I consider myself outvoted. My preferences have always been outdoor areas, hell themes and the more natural themes. I don't know why but I've always hated the style of tech bases. I find them boring. Saying that, if they're done well then I don't mind them. I do like a few out there, but the run of the mill techbase i find tedious. But i guess I'm the only one! 0 Share this post Link to post
Intel17 Posted April 25, 2004 I loved the tech bases. and the outdoor ones. And hell and everything about doom and doom 2 :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted April 25, 2004 Well, if you're a fan of good tech bases, try this. 0 Share this post Link to post
Intel17 Posted April 25, 2004 Yeah, when i was 3 and i played doom, i was amazed with those tech bases :) and Im still amazed by the quality of them today. 0 Share this post Link to post
boris Posted April 25, 2004 If you like tech bases there's no way around Vrack 1-3. 0 Share this post Link to post
Szymanski Posted April 25, 2004 consider getting kzdoom1 and Darkening2 if you haven't already 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted April 25, 2004 And if you're into ZDoom, you could try these tech-orientated episodes. 0 Share this post Link to post
Psyrus Posted April 25, 2004 Tech bases own. With that said, definitely get Darkening E2. It's one of the best pwads especially when playing it with JDoom. 0 Share this post Link to post

LogicDeLuxe Posted April 26, 2004 The best maps in Doom1 are tech style, imho. The ugliest map of the game is E3M7. Also, there are some good hell maps like E3M3. I find it completely okay playing pwad's with tech style as well, as for example the Wasteland series. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted April 26, 2004 Heh, E3M3 is a retextured tech base map. How's E3M7 ugly? Or did you mean E2M7 (not that I think its ugly)? Tech bases come naturally to the engine's specs... no curves, etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted April 26, 2004 Tech bases are ok. I consider them to be an average sort of style. There are other styles I like more. And there are a couple I like less (cavern maps for example). 0 Share this post Link to post
LogicDeLuxe Posted April 26, 2004 myk said:Or did you mean E2M7 (not that I think its ugly)?Actually it's one of my favourite maps. But mentioning E3M3 was retextured, this map isn't what it appeares either. This was supposed to be an important central map and start of the game, acording to the Doom Bible and as it can be seen in alpha versions. Also a card game was there as the Doom Bible mentioned the marines playing cards. 0 Share this post Link to post

In fact, that is one of the reasons why some people prefer Half-Life 2 (or Unreal 2; if some of you can still recall before the game came out) over Doom 3...but personally I don't mind that cuz' I like Doom 3's tech-ish design as far as I'm concerned. 0 Share this post Link to post
Intel17 Posted April 27, 2004 I definetly thin E3M1 was very ugly and ugliest of the lot. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grul Posted April 28, 2004 There's a lot of tech bases out there since the texture set for doom is perfect for tech bases with surroundings. But sure, you can do caves and bizarre hell worlds and ash plains. And there's GSTONE1! YAY CASTLE MAPS!!!111 0 Share this post Link to post

Coopersville Posted April 30, 2004 BLASPHEMY Tech IS Doom so far as I'm concerned But I guess my favourite maps would be tech levels mixed with other themes as well. 0 Share this post Link to post
