Intel17 Posted February 17, 2008 So, of the original four DOOM episodes, which map is your favorite? Mine's E2M4, Deimos Lab. How about you? 0 Share this post Link to post
YMB Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks for this incredibly original thread! Who would have thought that on a Doom forum someone would have posted a thread about their favorite Doom level??? 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted February 18, 2008 If the sniping has finished - E2M2 - it's crate! :-) 0 Share this post Link to post
Mithral_Demon Posted February 18, 2008 I agree on E2M4. I like E1M8 alot though, even though it's THE shortest Published Doom map. I like it probably because of the fight with the Barons and Spectres on UV. o-o 0 Share this post Link to post
Torn Posted February 18, 2008 I dunno if I can pick one out from the whole game. So I take one from each episode. E1M6, E2M4, E3M3, E4M6. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nuxius Posted February 18, 2008 Me neither. The best I can do is bring it to a tie between E1M7 and E4M6. Anyway, picking a best from each episode: E1M7, E2M4, E3M7, E4M6 and my second favorites in each episode, just because I can: E1M3, E2M2, E3M5, E4M2 0 Share this post Link to post
Intel17 Posted February 18, 2008 Hmm, I'm going to pick my favorite from each episode as well, since you're all doing it :) E1M4, E2M4, E3M3, E4M8 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted February 18, 2008 They're all too easy (old fashioned?) and similar for me to pick a favourite. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm pretty sure the shortest map is actuallyPrince of Darkness said:E2 M9 As for my favorite Ultimate Doom map, I'd say...hmm. I don't really think it's fair to count episode 4 as part of the same thing, since e1-e3 were the first maps id made, and e4 were the very last. Out of the original three episodes, my favorite map would almost definitely be something in episode 1. Maybe e1m5 or e1m7. Episode 2's maps all at least had some potential, but most of them fell way short of it due to them being so rushed. I do enjoy playing through e2, though. I'm not even going to go into episode 3's problems. From episode 4, I'd probably say e4m6. It's the most visually-impressive iwad map I can think of, and it just feels huge and epic. 0 Share this post Link to post
blink182sean Posted February 19, 2008 i dont know the E#M# but the level name was Pandemonium. Just the coolest level. actually pandemonium sucks! I just realized. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mechadon Posted February 19, 2008 I have really fond memories of E2M6. It use to scare the shit outta me, but I liked how it played and I really liked the music (holy crap I hated that fake exit trap the first time I ran into it!). But overall, I'd have to say E1M3 is my absolute favorite. Dunno why, but I really loved that map. 0 Share this post Link to post

Another favorite is E4M2, which doesn't have quite as good an atmosphere, but I really like the gameplay in it. This was the first level that gave me a real challenge when I first switched to using the mouse. 0 Share this post Link to post
Stupid Bunny Posted February 20, 2008 Let's see... None of the E1 levels really stand out that much (I like them all plenty) but I would probably go with E1M7. E2 has some close ones, as well as some which aren't so great in my opinion, but it would probably be a tie between E2M2 and E2M5. Some of the E3 levels are super fun, but others (E3M2) are just annoying. However, I love E3M3. Maybe my favorite in the episode, actually... I don't know the E4 levels that well, but if I remember E4M6 correctly, it was pretty awesome. 0 Share this post Link to post
pcorf Posted February 22, 2008 My favourite out of all 4 episodes is E4M6. Romero's best! 0 Share this post Link to post

_bruce_ Posted February 23, 2008 Extremely difficult question... so many good ones. -from a design and explore standpoint E2M2 -from aha-experience E3M9 -never will forget the look of E2M5 Overall it's a close tie between E2M9 and E3M6*. *is for me more in the spirit of DoomII than DoomI - sandbox as some would call it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shanoa Posted February 25, 2008 Personally i like E4M8 its a cool map design...also E1M4 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted February 25, 2008 You know E4M8 is like E6L10 of Wolfenstein - the exact same tendency to put some more obstacles before the boss fight. I hate how when I play a classic game or Doom 1 episode wad, when I get to the boss level I only see an arena with the boss as the only enemy. It gets worse if that boss is easy. What about tension building... A real good example of a Doom 1 map is E4M1. What a good monster balance this infamous little piece of hell has. 0 Share this post Link to post
