Pirate Doom

What a fun, creative wad. I was reluctant to try it as the thought of pirate weapons sounded really unappealing, but the weapons didn't detract from the experience. Great atmosphere, great variety of levels. Solid level design.

UAC Invasion: The Supply Depot

It may seem odd for this to be the highest praise for this map, but in a map that took over 90 minutes, and over 1000 enemies, I never really got lost. I honestly don't really know how you'd accomplish this, but DooMKnight did. The encounters were enjoyable without being too difficult (although I did play on an easier difficulty, as I am not good at Doom), and backtracking never made the levels feel stale. Well worth playing.

Doom: The Golden Souls

I had a great deal of fun with Doom: The Golden Souls. Aside from one troublesome red coin, I honestly can't find much to complain about it. The platforming was fun, the level design mostly quite good, and it was a pleasant spin on the whole Doom experience.

Arcadia Demade

It is a map made by JP  LeBreton, mimicking his levels from Bioshock. Unfortunately, it's been 10 or so years since I last played Bioshock, so I couldn't exactly compare the two.

The teleporting enemy at the start was a really nice touch. The level, in general, had a really nice atmosphere. The skybox and, if I'm not mistaken, tint-shifting do a good job of setting the scene.

Unfortunately, and this may have been the GZDoom settings I have, but the map wasn't all too helpful, and the level was rather complex, so it took me some work to get where I intended to go.

Regardless, I never had any real difficulty figuring out where to go, and the level seemed to flow pretty well. I do wish I had chosen a harder difficulty, but I had been burned by some hard Doom levels recently.

The Romero cameo at the end was fun too.

dead.wire

dead.wire is available here (I highly recommend you play it yourself instead of watching this): http://www.moddb.com/mods/deadwire

Played on easiest difficulty because I'm terrible at Doom 2 and this is actually hard.

The atmosphere on this map is astounding. The background, the TVs, the enemies, the music; it all really came together. Probably the most atmospheric I've seen a Doom map. And the new weapons were fun too.

Unfortunately, I'm guessing that the most arresting part of this map will cause the compression to be pretty bad on this video. Another reason you should just play it yourself.
