I liked this megawad, but this one surely plays better in co-op as it is designed with that gameplay in mind. Also, i made a dehacked patch for it so i can read how the story goes while playing this excellent megawad This is the most Doom 2 megawad that i played so far. The maps are similary abstract like Doom 2, but this are far better. They are interesting to look and play, but some become a little too long making the experience to drag a little. Its interesting to note that this was release before The Plutonia Experiment, but there are some maps that shows it quirks and i'm not talking about the maps made by Milo And Dario Casali, there are a lot of maps that are designed around the challenge the different monsters in the map will offer. And that shows that the community was heading that way before the great Casalis made their beloved megawad. H2H-Xmas and Memento Mori are megawads (the firsts even) in the style of Plutonia, this is centered around offering an interesting ad challenging experience to the player. This makes TNT: Evilution, the third contender to the be one of the first megawads, the only one that is centered in a more atmospheric and chilling experience with good sparkles of good gameplay. Of the three megawad, Memento Mori is the one that plays better, but TNT: Evilution looks more interesting, while H2H-Xmas offers a great challenge. Aside from that, this megawad gives me the chance to make a custom dehacked patch with new story and also a custom status bar that maybe i will release someday.

Totally awesome and hard maps pre-Hell Revealed era. The maps are good with some christmas themed stuffs, like snow and some new music, and the awesome status bar with santa claus. But its no more than that. If you really want to play this to its full, i recommend you to search for the h2h-xmas-fix.wad that @NightFright made. It adds a fix for map14, some new graphics, and most importat, it adds a proper dehacked patch with some neat text screens and maps names. If this is not enough and you want the ultimate christmas experience, Doomxmas is the answer: it adds properly themed mosters, iced doom textures that greatly enhances the look of the maps, new christmas themed weapons, new sounds, and a dehacked patch for some neat tricks with the mosnters. And also it comes with a neat music pack with a ton of christmas songs to wisthle along!

Another fun xmas themed level made in time for this year's end. Balanced gameplay progression and a good 90s style design. Give it a play.

I kept from playing this for a long time because it's "designed for coop play," and can now safely say that was the worst possible excuse for not playing this. I'd go so far as to say that (except for Map25) there are no outright bad maps in this entire set. It's not quite as polished as its successor, but in my opinion it's far better than other early megawads like H2H-Xmas and (dare I say it) TNT Evilution.

Awesome xmas level the music chosen was alittle too loud but overall not bad was it my imagination or did those new imps have fireballs that homed in on you cause I kept running into them

MOAR XMAS WADS!

I was expecting xmas textures and others, but since I've read the readme, sure You gotta do it yourself. Also adding to Xmas wad I was enhancing for 2 years.

You'll always find this in Doom servers around the holiday season, Even if it doesn't have the best maps ever made, it's friggin' H2H Xmas. Legendary WAD.

Pretty darn good set of Xmas/Winter themed levels, especially some of the later ones. 4/5. -TRRobin.

Four example WADs included with an early distribution of Geoff Allan's Doom Edit, the level editor later known as DoomEd The Real Thing. The most notable one is MINE1.WAD, an empty shell of a level that served as the base for FLASH (id=114), TECHBASE (id=308), WATCH51 (id=735), POT (id=1468), DRAGON1 (not on /idgames yet), SERENITY.WAD E3M2 (id=1033), ASNEW8 (id=1158), Xmas Doom MAP01 (id=1173) and D&D11D1 (id=14388). - N_A

This is map 12 from H2H-Xmas in its original form, and it's a decent 1995 map. Not much stands out, but the staircase trap at the end is definitely the highlight of the level. The jump from HMP to UV is quite something, though: every single easy enemy is replaced by a Revenant. It can get annoying dealing with 20 of them at a time. But either way, it's simple, but fun classic Doom. 3.5/5

epic, wonderful, best wad ever. 2 stars, because is xmas and at xmas we are all much more good! Daimon

i don't really see that as an xmas type wad but i do know this The music in the level was awesome and the words (what was that russian or something?) were kinda kool an overall good level do you have any more levels like this that i can download? If so send me an email at cactuarking@msn.com

Excellent Xmas wad for 94'!

It's OK, but gameplay is easy and short on surprises. There's a surplus of health and ammo. Also, the name kind of suggests Xmas themes, but there aren't any.

The second-to-last 1994 pwad in the archive, and it's a decent one to end the year with. It's an early Doom 1 version of H2H-Xmas MAP12. The design is nice, but the monster placement is crap compared to the later version. The enemy clusters just don't work without the extra Doom 2 monsters. 3/5

Dave Swift made some of the better levels in the H2H-Xmas wad. They were fun, but they had two problems: shitty custom textures, and huge clusters of enemies in a single room. This wad has both of those problems and without the good level design. I guess we all have to start somewhere, right? 1/5

This is map 14 from H2H-Xmas in its original form. The level starts out in a series of strange, red rooms, and then leads up to a medium-sized outdoor area with a lot of enemies running around. As usual, Ultra Violence contains massive amounts of Revenants. What can I say? It's a decent 1995 map with a lot of challenge. 3.5/5
