What are your opinions on Doom mods?

Pretty neato.
There's so many good quality ones you could literally only play Doom for ages.

I actually largely dislike Doom's mods. Modern gameplay mods tend to have too much micromanagement or shitty/boring mechanics like infinite ammo and RPG progression, and custom levels tend to focus on gimmicks and extreme challenge rather than solid layouts that offer a lot of complex ways to experience the level. Much prefer Quake's mapping community.

>>381324415
>Gameplay mods
Call of Doom
Immoral Conduct
Adventures of Salvo Jettison

>Custom episodes
Romero's E1M8b and E1M4b
No Rest for the Living
Nihility

I really need to get around to beating Scythe some day. I got to the batch of hard levels towards the end and gave up.

>>381325035
I hate maps like Knee Deep In ZDoom because they add rooms with no purpose and too many features, as if the author was trying to make it like Duke Nukem 3D, but instead made it feel more like a tech demo.

>>381325187
Thankfully maps like that are in the minority. I can't even think of similar maps. I think even ZDCMP2, as much as it incorporates new mechanics in map design, doesn't have those flaws. But I never beat ZDCMP2, I think it was because I got lost or felt like I was making little to no progress after several minutes of shooting stuff. I think only the Quake mapping community has been successful in creating hour-long maps that remain fun and engaging throughout.

>>381325035
Not sure how you'd feel about MetaDoom, but there's no RPG progression and the pistol can have limited ammo.

Brutal doom does make things that little more metal

>>381326582
Are Mark's maps good?

>>381326428
It's a mod already.

>>381326717
You mean like Imp-atience but to the extreme?

cr*p. If I want some DOS FPS goodness, I go to Duke, Shadow Warrior, or Blood, or Dark Forces. Play a real game, kiddo.

Garbage compared to Grezzo which came years earlier. polwad is babby's first controversial wad.

>Individual releases:

Beyond Belief (a full episode)
Skacky's maps in Retro Jam 3
Honey (two maps)

The Forgotten Sepulcher is a very recent release. It's a behemoth of a map where your first playthrough will reach close to two hours. I generally prefer short maps like the ones in the base game, but this is just exceedingly well-done. It's filled to the brim with creative and fun encounters and secrets. I played it for the first time only two days ago, and I'm already eager to begin my fourth playthrough.

I used to play a lot of DBzone with class wads, back in skulltag days, along with Master of Puppets and zombie invasion. I miss those days.

>>381336024
Aren't they intentionally bad?
>>381336078
Metroid Dreadnought is Metroid Prime in Doom

>>381336131
The OG TerryWAD was supposed to be multiplayer/co-op adventure with dark humor, but people took it seriously so Terry imitators would make those wads which you start, play for few seconds before being earraped.

once you have seen all the animations there's literally no point of keep playing with the mod

the least the guy behind it could do would be to add a legitimate reason to trigger the animations

MetaDoom could use some maps for the mod, mostly because of its theme.

How is it possible that DOOM is still the best game in the entire FPS genre? Seriously, the gameplay is incredible. Every game that has come after it doesn't have even 1/10th of its staying power.

Thank fuck.

>>381344950
I agree. But it's just incredible how well the game has aged. The FPS genre has moved so far away from gameplay and into meaningless spectacle that the gameplay of DOOM feels somehow fresh every time you play it, and it's because of how well balanced it is. Wads today are STILL coming up with new ways to combine enemies and weapons for new experiences without modifying the core gameplay at all. It is a masterclass in game design.

>>381345212
I think Doom's engine was simple enough for modding, which is why there were maps made for the shareware version.

>>381345212
>>381345420
It also gets ported everywhere

>>381324315
One of the best thing that ever happened to game industry.

>>381345785
Thank god for Doom mods

>>381345212
Sprites > 3d models.
It somehow gives monsters more personality, even if they're just a recolor of a sprite, like a lot of wads do. I can't explain why doom3's monsters felt boring. I guess they just look generic.

>>381337468
