WADs with huge file sizes

[beanz]

What are some of the biggest, in terms of file size, wads you ever played? Opening up windirstat and looking through my mod folder I found the biggest .wad to be Brutal Doom's Hell on Earth starter pack. What have you found?

[Nevander]

Ancient Aliens is like 130 MB or something.

 

EDIT: And yep, Hell on Earth Starter Pack is 160 MB.

[Voros]

Biggest WADs...
196 MB
102 MB
187 MB

Plenty more if you want to take look

[SOSU]

there are some terrywads that are pretty small when zipped but get around 1 gb when unzipped.

[Marlamir]

i remember playing .wad which have nearly 700mb. but i dont remember name of it.

[Walter confetti]

The infamous Grezzo 2 (full version) is something like a 1 gigabyte of random doom stuff, maybe a bit more.

[leodoom85]

Prodoomer (+380 mb), Blade of Agony (around 300 mb), Total Chaos (almost 1 gb), Aeons of Death (350 mb)

These are Zip bomb wads. Infected Base is one of them, when opened becomes 1gb :O

[MFG38]

I believe Total Chaos is just over a gigabyte in size...

[R13]

Hunter's Moon is 190MB

Aeons of Death is 300MB

[SavageCorona]

The biggest one I have is Codename Hunk. A few top contenders are this weird pk3 I have no idea what it does called serpent-hqmus.pk3 at 207mb then Aeons of Death and Hell on Earth starter pack.

[Voros]

Sounds like a HQ music mod for Heretic to me.

[SavageCorona]

You can add this to the big boys list 

[R13]

serpent-hqmus.pk3 is a music pack for ECWolf mod Operation Serpent

[invictius]

was it the Nazi Aufer-something-something? I remember it was like that.

[AL-97]

Blade Of Agony is 400mb+. But given the scale of the TC: hi-res sprites, high-quality music, etc, it's, kinda, expected.

[Tormentor667]

Wait for Blade of Agony Chapter 3 (incl 1+2) - pretty sure we will reach 1GB

To be honest i have no idea. All i remember is that i download this from moddb and it was gzdoom map.

It was 100 MB at its largest, pretty small compared to the others mentioned here.

 

Edit: 165 MB unzipped, according to Scuba Steve's thread.
