Helton342 Posted April 3 E1M7 Especially love it when you add doom 2 enemies into it. And do the remakes of E1M4 & E1M8 count? 0 Share this post Link to post

enigma101 Posted April 4 MAP07 - Dead Simple. It's fun just to circle-strafe and shoot all the arachnatrons with the rocket laucher. 2 Share this post Link to post

Eon Toad Posted April 4 Doom 2: Monster Condo Sandy Petersen maps can be pretty hit and miss, but this level really nails the puzzle box design of Doom 2. 4 Share this post Link to post

SusieGalaxyPrime! Posted April 4 (edited) Pretty hard to choose, but E1M7 is always my favorite level to play when re-playing Doom 1. E4M1 is also a good choice. Refueling Base is one of my favorites from Doom 2, and No Rest For The Wicked is fantastic from beginning to end. 2 Share this post Link to post
Napeyear Posted April 4 (edited) 19 hours ago, Xaser said: Underdog: MAP16: Deepest Reaches -- For some reason this map often appears in people's "most hated" lists, I guess because the theming & execution is a bit primitive for its time, but try playing it at 320x200 and the visuals totally work ;) -- if you get over that, it's easily one of TNT's best, just a treat to explore. Adding onto this, 'Blood Jungle' is such a sick OST for this level too. It really matches the starry night sky and the whole spelunking through caves and hell rock theme that TeamTNT was going for. When I was younger this level creeped me out a bit because of the music choice lol. A couple of other TNT levels that are better due to their music choice (in my opinion of course) are MAP02: Human BBQ and MAP31: Pharaoh. Even though MAP31 shares its music track with the intermission screen, there is something about going through Egyptian ruins with a melancholy sound track that really scratches the itch for me whenever I replay TNT. 4 Share this post Link to post
TheMightyWhoosh Posted April 4 I’ve always had soft spots for ‘Congo’ and ‘Mill’ from Final Doom - they both share a wonderfully unexplainable vibe. Doom 2? Hmm… probably isn’t considered a popular choice; however I quite enjoy ‘The Abandoned Mines’. For Ultimate Doom, E1 as a whole is just a masterpiece of competent level design, so it’s impossible to pick a single contender. 1 Share this post Link to post
hexagonopus Posted April 6 I don't have anything to say about Final Dooms really because I've never fully committed myself to a playthrough of either of them. I try my best but I usually lose interest after about 6 or 7 maps. That being said, WRT to the rest.... 1st place - Level 6: Inferno of Blood 2nd place - MAP29: The Living End 3rd place - MAP10: Refueling Base uhm ;v; click on the spoiler for the rest Spoiler in order from best to worst: E2M6: Halls of the Damned Level 3: Canyon of the Dead E3M3: Pandemonium Black Tower (BLACKTWR.WAD) E3M7: Limbo E2M7: Spawning Vats MAP24: The Chasm E2M2: Containment Area Level 9: March of the Demons E3M4: House of Pain Level 4: Hell Mountain Level 5: Vivisection Trapped on Titan (TTRAP.WAD) Level 7: Baron's Banquet E4M5: They Will Repent Level 1: The Earth Base MAP28: The Spirit World MAP07: Dead Simple Nessus (NESSUS.WAD) Vesperas (VESPERAS.WAD) E3M6: Mt.

Cilian Posted April 6 I haven't played all of the official maps, but TNT map09: stronghold is my favorite. Straight up slaughter map, the most enemies in a single map out of all iwads. All of them are low tier enemies, iirc the map doesn't use any enemy other than a hitscanner, an imp or a pinky, and they are really easy to pop rapidly with the SSG and chaingun. It's almost junkfood-like gameplay but the map is punishing enough to careless players that it doesn't feel like it takes zero effort to enjoy the slaughter. So, it's just a fun map to me 1 Share this post Link to post
Zerofuchs Posted April 6 Refuelling Base from Doom 2 always sticks in my head. Expansive, rewards exploration, multiple routes, and action packed to boot. Cleans out the sour taste that Map09 tends to leave in my mouth, can't bring myself to like anything but the midi for The Pit. 2 Share this post Link to post
doomdaniel95 Posted April 8 My personal favorites from each of the IWADs: Ultimate Doom: E2M2 (Containment Area) Doom 2: MAP27 (Monster Condo) Plutonia: A tough choice, but probably MAP18 (Neurosphere). MAP23 (Tombstone) is very good also. TNT: MAP13 (Nukage Processing), but the entire 2nd episode is amazing. 0 Share this post Link to post

Says Xaser Aw, no Master Levels section? :p I always found Plutonia's Map 15 to be harder than 31 or 32, catches me every single playthrough. I have good memories of showing off Go 2 It to my brother and school friends when I had Doom 95 though, everyone was always 'how the hell does anyone beat that without IDDQD!?' which lead to it becoming a legendary challenge. First time I ever beat Plutonia, I was nervous as hell getting to it due to that past, then...I cleared it relatively easily. 2 Share this post Link to post

UltimateDecaf Posted April 9 I remember the surprise and adrenaline rush I had when I first played through Doom 2's 'Dead Simple'. I'm not sure how would I go about picking the best map out of all official WADs, but this one is one of the most memorable for sure. 0 Share this post Link to post
