Are there any city wads?

[GenericItalianGuy]

Are there any wads located in cities or urban locations, other than maps in mars and hell, i really wanna know.

[Hitboi]

There are a lot. City maps also exist in some of the IWADs, Doom II has multiple city maps and Plutonia's 29th map is my favourite IWAD city map.

This list mentions wads that have city map(s), there are probably more city maps in wad history than in this list but this list mentions the notable ones.

Doom 2 has some pretty unrecognisable city maps, that would be the most obvious answer but if you're looking for good ones you have.

 

Project brutality hell on earth starter pack. It has some really well done city maps.

 

Heartland, is another really good map pack.

 

AUGER ZENITH has really good futuristic city levels.

Unrecognisable? City maps like Downtown are memorable, imo.

Hey Hitboi, just to be clear I was not responding to your comment, I don't want you thinking I was being a douche to you. We composed are comments at the same time.

 

On a personal note I don't think Doom 2 maps look like anything resembling a real city but then a lot of Doom locations don't look like real places and they're still good. My other two mentions i think a modern gamer will respond positively to if they're looking for a city map.

The Great Urban Battle

 

Although Hellbound actually has a fair few itself. Otherwise, they tend to be scattered throughout various wads.

City of DooM (Part I) BETA 1-11 

[TheMagicMushroomMan]

Extermination Day has some good ones.

[RastaManGames]

Why do we have "Chillax", but not "Townax", where some mad lad can gather together all good city-themed maps possible?..

Oh, okay, sorry for misunderstanding.

Don't Turn Your Back on the City is a certified hood classic.

Metropolitan Mayhem Machine is a good recent one that hasn't been mentioned yet:

I recommend Running Late 2 which was a Cacoward 2020 winner.

I do not know how I forgot that - I guess because it wears its setting lightly. But yeah

That was cool! Maybe a little lacking in the gameplay department, but compared to a lot of the 40oz-helmed stuff of the past several months (excepting Dreamcatcher apparatus I guess), I love when DBPs do unique themes.

Amazing map, reminds me of playing the Playstation Resident Evil games for a reason.

 

What about Monster Hunter Ltd? First one takes place on a Doom Cute Factory, while the second one is on a city level and the adjacent areas.

[Garlichead]

I just started playing 25 years on earth recently. 

 

Overall the first 7 maps have been on city locales or "real locations" (damns, apartments, etc).

 

Not sure how much it changes later on, but i thought you may want to take a look.

Played this last week Old Bean Factory, one of the best city maps I've played that aren't in Heartland. Heartland requires Eternity Engine source port by the way but you'd be hard pushed to find a better city WAD.

 

Also you might want to check out Comatose, not a city but a small town rendered in a photo realistic way, like walking through a painting. Gameplays bit more divisive on that one, I enjoyed it but it's main focus is exploration and finding secrets. Oh and you should probably skip it if your playing on an older computer, I had a little lag on a 1 year old gaming PC.

I also recommend Hellbound. Huge city maps in a lot of it with immense details.

EDAY , dbp 58  , city of doom , Hollywood holocaust ,ashes series (the sterile maps ) ..

So many awesome city maps
