Longest maps ever?

[RonLivingston]

Anyone know any levels that have the longest length ever?

[StalkerZHS]

Any map that takes an hour to beat

 

 

when speedrunning

[baja blast rd.]

Vela Pax and Planisphere (2) come to mind, though with all those fancy linedefs, copy-pasting from it might crash DB on you. 

[Killer5]

I would assume a max of untitled2 to take over 3 hours non-tas.

[Reisal]

Some to many of @mArt1And00m3r11339's maps, Holy Hell MAP05 are some I can think of.

[SteelPH]

The majority(especially the tail end) of Eternal Doom is nothing but these.

[wheresthebeef]

The actual longest

 

[Megalyth]

Did okuplok ever finish that one massive map he was making? I played what he had done a few years ago and it took me over five hours to get through. With God mode.

[RonLivingston]

I should check that one out too

Community Chest 1, Map 29.  God that level was freakin' long.

 

And of course, all of Eternal Doom.

[mArt1And00m3r11339]

Have you ever tried World Orifice? It is based off of Nostril Caverns.

Isn't there some other map that would take ~8 hours to max... can't remember which one though...

[⇛Marnetmar⇛]

Jade Earth by Jodwin is quite long.

[Lüt]

Run Buddy is a very large level in the sense that it's essentially a classic Doom map scaled up to Land of the Giants proportions. It's not incredibly detailed for the amount of space it occupies, but if you ever want to feel really small, this is a good start.

[Zanieon]

Well if counting by first-run, all those are 1+ hour playtime: (which i remember atm)

 

Community Chest 3 - MAP12

 

Deus Vult - MAP05

 

Dawn of Reality

Foursite

 

Ignored

 

Alien Vendetta - MAP20

Interception - MAP29

KDiZD entirely except for the first two maps

 

NDCP2 - MAP27 and MAP29

Zones of Fear - MAP24, MAP28 and MAP30

Eternal Doom has self explanatory name

[dew]

It took me nearly 3 hours to max out rjspace31 back when I was good at it. Ridiculously demanding map.

[Ancalagon]

In eternal doom you take an eternity looking for mandatory camouflaged x switches but I don't that's the kind of gameplay you are looking for. Velapax has the best long maps imo without being unnecesarily grindy (like hh or okumap).

[Bauul]

@Byeblothingal 1024 Has created some truly enormous maps. I'm talking maps that fill the entire Doom mapping space. 

 

There are YouTube play-throughs of some maps that last 12+ hours.  

 

This thread shows some some screenshots (click the dead thumbnails and the photos will still load).

In what format?

[Roofi]

Nostril Caverns by TimeOfDeath.

[Graf Zahl]

ZDCMP2 will easily take 2+ hours to complete, I haven't seen any other map that takes this long so far.

Deus Vult - MAP05

For the record, DV Map05 is the full Deus Vult level.

 

It was so large that it was split into 4 different sections for slower computers, and those 4 sections are maps 01-04, so if you feel like playing the full map set, don't start with maps 01-04 thinking that they'll gradually lead up to the grand finale. All you need is Map05.

Also for the record, this is one of my favorite maps in Doom history.

 

The fact that it's vanilla-compatible only adds to the amazement.

[RonLivingston]

ofcorse that it took me like 1 hour and 20 mins to beat neodoom map13 too

I think he made them in ZDoom: Hexen format.

 

There's a guy doing a YouTube play-through of his map Volvex2 on HMP at the moment here.

 

He's up to 21 hours and still hasn't beaten it.

Holyhell is the same way, right down the the detail that MAP05 is the whole thing,

avj.wad map32 was the first map in which I realized that in vanilla doom no time is displayed anymore if you need over an hour (the game simply shows "you suck"). have not played any other map for over an hour in vanilla.

OP didn't specific whether the "map length" means playing with prior knowledge or blind, but I think besides being a long max, avj32 is also one of the longest mentioned so far if you're going by blind play. Although I guess it's hard to objectively measure the length a puzzle should take without prior knowledge...

actually this is false.
Simply strafe run and crouch the very instant the map starts.
