True! I've been playing Doom 1 and every other doom forever now, and i even made wads with just the original doom textures. It was just recently that I decided to get Doom 2!

As the title says I wanna talk about Doom 2. No i'm not talking about a NEW doom 2, which i'm hoping Bethesda is gonna announce TOMORROW! (HYPE!?!) I'm talking about the original Doom 2. For some reason I never took the time to actually play through the full game and beat it, until now. I just wanted to do a quick review of the game and talk about a few problems I had and I wanna see if anyone else had a few of the other same problems. The game was a solid 8/10 BUT: 1.The levels could be cryptic at times, and sometimes it felt like there was way to much backtracking. (This is one reason I HATE the metroid series.) 2. The levels where to big. I mean come on, downtown was WAY to open and WAY to big, it took me forever to figure out where to go and like my first complaint, I just felt lost. 3. Enemy "traps", oh look a health pack, boom the wall opens up and theres like 20 imps. Okay fine that's fine everynow and then but it seems like every switch you hit, every health pack you pick up, or every corner you turn has one. It just started to getting annoying at times. 4. Monster spam. Like my 3rd complaint says, 20 imps!? Damn. I know the "super shotgun" can take care of most of them FAST but I mean come on. There where times where it felt like I was playing a game of dogeball trying to avoid all of the fireballs thrown at me. That was fun for awhile, but it got old fast. 5. Barons of hell. Remember beating episod 1 in Doom? The final level had those 2 barons of hell that kicked your ass no matter what you did, yeah that was great. But doom 2 comes along and just throws barons of hell around EVERYWHERE. 6. Some of the levels felt like really shitty wads. I mean come on. Rooms covered with the same decorations, arrows telling you where to go (even though it's obvious) and so on. Those are 6 of the major complaints I had. Besides that the game was great, I loved it! Killing hordes of enemies was fun and it did add more of a challenge. This is a thread though so I wanna know if you guys agree with me or not. Also anyone else hyped for a POSSIBLE doom 2 (2?) Go back and play Doom 2 and keep these things in mind, you might understand where i'm coming from a bit more!

Scroll all the way down and it's at the top of the page! I'm about to check it out now, thanks for the links everyone! :)

Could you guys link the games? I have a hard time finding the right wads. Like I still can't find the Contra wad. . .Also TLOZ wad looks fun af!

Okay good news, I got Doom 2 up and running now and i organized all of my wads and stuff. Things are running smoothly and I will now accept all wads! Also thank you for all the fast responses, i'm pretty new to this community still. (I was deep in the Super Mario World community before, but i started getting back into doom!)

I'm looking for Contra Doom, but I can't seem to find it. I found the stand alone HaloDoom game and i was pretty impressed, i can tell someone took A LOT of time to make it, it just wasn't for me though. The one i've enjoyed the most so far was Sonic Blast. My god that needs to be a stand alone sonic game lol! Also thanks! I'm looking into multiplayer right now. I really need to get Doom 2. . .

yeah yeah yeah i know lol. I gotta get doom 2 first! I keep meaning to but i forget ._.! So yeah my bad no doom 2 wads please and thank you. ALSO That Doom Raider wad was trash.

._. stop posting doom 2 wads!

Yeah singleplayer wads only. I'm not even sure how to play multiplayer tbh?? Is there like a big server or does it have to be lan or what, idk. I don't have friends to play it with anyways lol! Thank you guys! I'm gonna check some of these out now!

Oh lort i forgot about those! I remember James Rolfe was doing a live stream of them some time ago, thanks!

Hi everyone! I was wondering if someone could point me to some WADS based off of other games? Games like Mario, Halo, Sonic, just anything. I found a Final Fantasy wad but that's about it. I'm sure there are video game wads out there and that i'm just not looking hard enough. A Halo wad would be amazing! Anyways, THANKS! :)
