bytor Posted June 15, 2011 Vader will always come to my mind first. I've been through his maps top to bottom, side to side. I've tried to emulate his style. I can't. essel is the only person I would let wallpaper my house. His texture application is superb. Romero for "old school". 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted June 15, 2011 If we're going by date; some names off the top of my head. Old school: Romero Andy Badorak (both his maps for STRAIN, MM1 & MM2 are amazing, and his single level maps are great) Iika Kerenan (I know I spelt this wrong) Anthony Czerwonka Matthias Worch MM1 & MM2 team Icarus team STRAIN team Casali Bros Kurt Keslar Traverse Dunne Pcorf and Kristian (for the Death Tormention series) 2000 - now: Christian Lian (assuming he starts fixing up the gameplay in his maps :P) Anders Johnsen Kim Andre Malde Eric Alm Brad Spencer Joshy darkwave0000 Snakes Valkiriforce And the guy who made Map11 of AV ;) And.... Vader for The Rebirth, and although I still really like this mapset and have fond memories of playing it, sadly it doesn't hold much replay value for me. :/ It really kicked ass when I was a noob who used to get frightened off fighting 4 revenants in the same map but it's just too easy on UV now and the gameplay is too "controlled" to hold much replay value IMO... I hope The Rebirth 2 is alot harder and more chaotic as the style and layouts are already there. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
Jodwin Posted June 15, 2011 This is only concerning how fun the maps were to play and completely disregarding visuals: Erik Alm (for the later maps of original Scythe 2 release) ToD (for Drown in Blood) SuperJamie (there was a pretty much impeccable map by SJ in UAC Ultra) Myself (I make maps that I want to play) Ruba (for Killing Adventure) 0 Share this post Link to post
Vorpal Posted June 15, 2011 Gotta agree on Dr. Sleep for the old school, love his master level and udoom stuff. For new school, I find myself always coming back to Richard Wiles stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mr. Freeze Posted June 16, 2011 New School: Paul Corfiatis Yonatan Donner Kristen Aro Scuba Steve Espi And my absolute favorite new mapper is Huy Pham. Deus Vult 1 and 2 are fucking masterpieces and I recommend them to everyone on this forum...providing your computer can handle them. 0 Share this post Link to post
valkiriforce Posted June 16, 2011 Wow, I've been honored. :) Old school: John Romero - The Ultimate Doom, Doom II Sandy Petersen - The Ultimate Doom, Doom II Dario Casali - The Plutonia Experiment, TNT: Evilution, Memento Mori, Requiem Milo Casali - The Plutonia Experiment, TNT: Evilution, Memento Mori Tom Mustaine - Master Levels, TNT: Evilution, Memento Mori, Perdition's Gate Orin Flaharty - Memento Mori, Memento Mori 2, Requiem Jens Nielsen - Memento Mori, Memento Mori 2, Requiem Iikka Keranen - Requiem, Dystopia 3 Anthony Czerwonka - Requiem, Dystopia 3 Jim Flynn - Master Levels, Enigma, Titan Series, Eternal Doom Sverre Kvernmo - Master Levels, Eternal Doom Rand & Steven Phares - Cleimos 2, Icarus: Alien Vanguard New School: Andy Stewart - Doom II: Reloaded Paul Corfiatis - (too much to list!) Gusta - Plutonia 2 (haven't played Kama Sutra yet, I'm getting there!) I'll also add that I really enjoyed the efforts of the authors involved in Plutonia Revisited; though I haven't played any other maps by them (except those involved in Doom II: Unleashed). Otherwise, that's all I can think of at the moment. 0 Share this post Link to post

Pirx Posted June 16, 2011 Justince said:Meh. Sunder's better. i see them as being similar in architecture: vast, oppressive and visually striking. huge rooms filled with so many enemies, makes one feel lost and tiny and wonder how to ever finish them. clear lines with bright colors, like red glowing metal or amber portals on dark metal (sunder's obsidian nightmare comes to mind). i'm not so much a fan of slaughter maps, but i find that kind of architecture outstanding. the original doom maps tried to represent places like bases, cities or classic hell with brimstone and fire. these wads make the impression of a nightmare, a twisted matrix. 0 Share this post Link to post
Daiyu_Xiaoxiang Posted June 17, 2011 Snakes said:DVII is a dangerous wad!!! It DESTROYED A COMPUTER!!!!! DVII dangerous? I think New Gothic is much dangerous! Most DVII maps have monsters below 1000, but for New Gothic, more than 2000 at most maps, sometimes it lags a lot too! There's a map in New Gothic with more than 5000 monsters? The hardest map in DVII only got about 2000 monsters, map23 right? Justince said:Meh. Sunder's better. Sunder and Deus Vult 2.......hmm......... For architecture, Deus Vult 2 is better since it got so much beautiful textures. Especially map03, a Japanese map which Tatsurdcacocaco and Mr.T should like it(What a shame they havn't play it yet). For monsters, Sunder is better for lots of BFG and rockets spam, very good for slaughter too!(Though New Gothic is also a madness for slaughters) 0 Share this post Link to post

SandGator Posted June 17, 2011 I love Erik Alm's maps, they're so flowing and polished. 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted June 17, 2011 I hate the extreme slaughter gameplay that Sunder has, haven't tried Deus Vult yet but probably won't enjoy it either from what I've heard about it's over sized levels. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nomad Posted June 17, 2011 Espi. RIP, bro. Esselfortium is incredible. I've always liked Dutch Devil's stuff, from way back on NewDoom too. There's a couple other guys around here I really admire, but can't think of names at the moment. 0 Share this post Link to post
