SuperSlammer2 Posted July 19, 2008 I\'ve gone through alot of death match wads in the idgames archives, and I noticed so many of them have the same freaking re-used sounds and it drives me crazy!! what sounds have you heard too many times in wads throughout your playing career? remember these are only custom sounds, so don\'t get smart and say \"the default sounds\" lol :P -the doom 64 pistol -the shotgun and double barrel shotgun noises from dwango7 -heretic guy nosies for the player -stupidly long sounds for normally short sounds -gibbing noises that say \"SEASONS OVER ASSHOLE\" or something like that 0 Share this post Link to post

Bashe Posted July 19, 2008 If we can include music, I'd say NIN midis are absolutely overused in just about all older deathmatch wads. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ed Posted July 19, 2008 That early 90s techno midi with the square-wave intro that's found it's way into every deathmatch pack since Doom's conception. 0 Share this post Link to post

Bashe Posted July 19, 2008 I honestly haven't heard spheare.mid as much as I've heard dwango5 map11, map18, and map20 all over the place. It's like all deathmatch wads have some sort of unwritten law that they MUST have those midis in there somewhere. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ed Posted July 19, 2008 Where did spheare.mid originate from? Is there a recorded counterpart to it? If not I think me, spheare.mid and my Electribe have date :D As much as I'd like to say I'm sick of hearing MIDI versions of Head Like a Hole and Dead Souls, they've become so associated with 'vintage' doom maps that I get more of a sense of nostalgia when hearing them.. much like the original Doom soundtrack. 0 Share this post Link to post
hardcore_gamer Posted July 19, 2008 I think using PSX Doom/Doom64 sounds is cool, since many of them are in fact better, the PSX Plasmagun sounds for example ALLOT better then the dull sounds from the PC Doom. Its one of the reasons for why i never really liked the plasmagun from the PC version, it sounded dull. 0 Share this post Link to post

Its one of the reasons for why i never really liked the plasmagun from the PC version, it sounded dull. It's subjective, but I personnaly like the PSX musics (dark ambient <3). Edit : oh and to be ontopic, I hate the music in HR19/AV25/SC30, it's ok in the first one, but it's damn too repetitive for long maps... 0 Share this post Link to post

printz Posted July 20, 2008 TNT "Hanger" and "Metal" songs are quite catchy and easy to encounter in community wads. Not to forget the various possibly bad Metallica tabs, though I find those tracks very fitting for mid-90's Doom wads. As for noises... well, there is a family of commonly used sounds in the wads of the 94, 95, 96 etc. Many have been gathered in the Heroes megawads. There are also the Star Wars noises, the Beavis and Butthead noises (I swear I heard that taa-tararaa-tararaa-tarararaaa somewhere) and of course the Ash one-liners. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Green Herring Posted July 20, 2008 Ed said:Where did spheare.mid originate from?As far as I can tell, it originated as the battle theme of TetriNET. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted July 20, 2008 Oh, here's another one: dwango12 map01. I've heard it a ton, and I can't get over the fact that it sounds so much like a vastly sped-up Head Like a Hole. And "Axel F" midis, too. However, I do owe some thanks to some of these midis, as some of them were my first experiences with bands I listen to nowadays. Some wad with Carcass midis (which I'd like to see used more, actually) were my first experience with that band before I even listened to heavy metal at all like I do now, so when I started listening to them regularly, I knew the songs already. 0 Share this post Link to post

manzer Posted July 20, 2008 Who doesn't love the Heretic death sounds?? It's impossible for them to be overused. 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted July 21, 2008 I quit playing '94 wads because of metallica midis. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted July 21, 2008 Ricocheting pistol sound. Really, there were a bunch on 1994 WADs overusing that...it was awful, like an ear piercing scream each time you shot. And let's not even say what happened with zombies/chaingun... Terminator sounds for pickup, attack and whatnot. Bleh. 0 Share this post Link to post

Pirx Posted July 25, 2008 Doom Marine said:Blasphemy, it is underused and always will be. like all music, it should fit the map's theme. it's imo good for maps with a "post-apocalyptic" feeling to them, with lots of dark metal, looking like destroyed or decaying technology. it's a great tune, simple and sad. "fuck you, asshole" or "terminated" after ever shot gets boring quickly. same for ash's "groovy" - i hate that. even more beavis&butt-head as they're so totally out of place. metallica doesn't sound really good in midi, nor does it fit. maybe call of ktulu, i remember a good map that had this. sure techno and synth tunes are overused, they're typical for the early 90's when doom was fresh and people were amazed by having built their own map ;) i like hearing them in deathmatch maps, perhaps for nostalgia or because they show the map's age, switching it off when dm'ing is better anyway... 0 Share this post Link to post
