Okay. So I realize that it's kind of ridiculous to post about this over a decade after the game's release, but I just recently completed Doom 3 (on Marine difficulty) and I found the ending to be extremely anticlimactic. The final maps of the game didn't feel terribly "end game-y" and the final boss, the Cyberdemon, was easy to take care of. Now, the Cyberdemon has a great design in Doom 3, very different from it's previous iterations, but pretty cool. But the fight itself was very easy and predictable. I found this to be a lack luster ending to, what I thought, was a great game. But what did you guys think? Did you like the final boss, or even the design? What about the maps before the fight?\ TL;DR: What did you think of Doom 3's final moments?

Er... I think the Cyberdemon fight in Doom 4 was much cooler, and harder than Doom 3's fight. I thought the design was pretty interesting. Maybe not what one would traditionally say was a Cyberdemon, but still a pretty memorable design.

So I just beat Doom 4, and there's an obvious set up for a sequel at the end. So I was wondering what you guys think the sequel is going to be like in terms of gameplay, setting, story, and even Doom Guy's arsenal (I'm particularly interested in that last one).

Ok, so I beat the IWADS without saving and moved onto Hell Revealed, because I thought it was historically important. And I was doing rather well without saving. Then I hit a road block at map13. I actually got 9/10s through the level after about 2 weeks of trying to beat that map and decided to save because I was not giving up the opportunity to beat that bullshit level. So I suppose if I'm stuck on a map for a long ass time, I will save out of frustration. Didn't think Hell revealed would be so hard.

Alright, I think it's time that I contribute to this thread! First of all, I'm looking for more monsters. I don't mean arachnotrons or chaingunners. I mean new monsters. I would also like a new setting. I don't want a Doom 2: Hell on Earth remake. Maybe a frozen planet, maybe some hellish mayan temples. In terms of the Slayer's arsenal, I would like a few additions, maybe some enhancements to the Doom 4 weapons.

I suppose it takes time to do these types of things. I honestly don't think a singleplayer expansion is coming, and if it is, they're probably still working on it, if you consider how unsure ID was of how successful Doom was going to be (since they obviously wouldn't have started on a sequel as soon as they finished it).

Do you mean you didn't like the game?

also, here's the newest version of the map: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vmm742n1bcabmk4/badreligion.wad

Lol what happened?

Absolutely adore this.

Anyone have progress?

Listening to that new Kendrick album, DAMN.

Just beat this on "Watch me die" and holy shit No escape was insane. 3 Cyberdemons? in ONE MAP. Wow. I beat it without saving too! (except between levels, obviously) Final map was ridiculously easy, beat it on my first try, no problem. Overall, this was a great Doom game. Really happy I didn't have to play it on an N64 with a controller, would've been impossible.

If they were going for movie accuracy, then the amount of gore seems about right.

That looks pretty badass, can't wait to play it.

Thanks! Here's the new version. http://www.mediafire.com/file/vmm742n1bcabmk4/badreligion.wad Found a bug. Don't get on the bookshelf. There's no way out atm.

There are no difficulty settings, actually, since this is the first playable version. I don't get the HOM effect when I play, is there any way I can remedy this? Try a different source port maybe? It is meant to be Boom compatible after all. Also, that "green pyramid" is supposed to be a tent. I was trying to be abstract. Would you say the map flowed well? I wanted it to be as intuitive as possible. There are a lot of different paths you can take, I was attempting to make the map approachable from several different directions.

anyone still in this project?

already fixing some texture misalignment but I'm probably not going to be able to catch everything on my own. Feel free to mention any texture errors or general gripes.

Yo yo! Here's a (close to) finished version of my map. Be sure to run it with the cc4 textures. The only thing left now is to add in the death exit. Download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vmm742n1bcabmk4/badreligion.wad Here are some screenies, homies (monsters are turned off for the screenshots). Edit: Also forgot music. I'll include it in the next version.

Played it. Here are some thoughts. First of all there was a whole lot of "Where the fuck do I go?" going on. Like, were there arrows on the floor that I missed? The ending sequence was pretty cool, I have no clue how you made that house appear. Another thing that needs addressed is the difficulty. This level was very difficult for a map08 I couldn't even beat it without resorting to cheating like the piece of shit I am. This is coming from someone who beat TNT Evilution while only saving between levels. Also, the architecture is a bit simple. (That's more of a nitpick, you can disregard it). Overall, it was a map with some really sweet ideas, but you might have to dumb it down for some of us.... er.... simpler folk. I'd love you to try my map once I get a prototype version and tell me how much you hate it.

Hey, so this is pretty sweet, however I ran into the fluidsynth problem, too. It turns out, the version packed into your folder isn't the 64 bit version. So if anyone is having problems running this awesome wad with it's glorious music, just check out the fluid synth page on the zdoom wiki and download the 64 bit version.

Well, I don't have the entire layout set up, and considering it is kind of a city map, it does look kind of flat.

I've been playing straight through the doom games without saving (besides between levels, obviously). Doom 1 and 2 were easy but I'm on TNT: Evilution now and it's starting to get tough. I'm ready for the rude awakening that is Plutonia, though. I don't even remember if I ever beat Plutonia while saving every few minutes.
