trying to get "in-the-Know"

[Xtife]

heyas

been away from playing doom for a few months

just wanted to see if anyone could point me in the direction of any of the good wads from 2005

and any good kaiser wads in general?
iv heard some of his levels were pretty popular at the beginning of the year

[kristus]

The three best wads of this year so far would probably be "Simplicity" "Suspended in dusk" and "Scientist 2" (I haven't actually played the last one though)

That's all the wads that I can recall for this year.

Don't forget Kama Sutra and Scythe 2 (best two of the year IMO, in that order). I'd probably rank Scientist 2 third after them.

Also Armadosia is worth a look.

[Xtife]

awesome :) thanks guys
i have all of those, except suspended in dusk and scientist 2

My favorite so far has been Hi-Tech Hell. Great gameplay and probably one of the best looking WADs ever made.

[Xtife]

does that have a link?

I'm really surprised you liked it. It was an awesome effort to put something like this, but I couldn't play it long. After all it was just another Doom-Wad, in which most of the parts could have been done without 3D floors as well. I know I'm using 3D_Floors alot myslef, but you'll come to see that this is somehow different... and I'm getting fed up with wads that don't present new gameplay. Also, the music was not changed, which is a great drawback. That's why I enjoyed playing Simplicity, but not HTH

So what? It took me less than 5 minutes to define music for it that fit better. Half of the music that comes in PWADs doesn't suit my taste anyway.

Depends on your idea of fun. I liked the fights in HTH much better than those in Simplicity. I'm not a big fan of traps.

[kristus]

Ah, right. I forgot about high Tech Hell2 and those others mentioned.

Me either. But even more I don't like dozens of wandering mosnters. HTH2 just didn't have atmosphere. And the UAC story is so often used, that they could have just not put it in here.

You know, there are tastes, and tastes.

I never found them. Maybe because I killed them before they could wander off...

No? I thought the atmosphere was great. I like tech bases though.

And the UAC story is so often used, that they could have just not put it in here.

Who cares? And the typical path from somewhere into Hell is not?
