[doom] Favourite Pwads

[EmmDubya]

Over the past few months I've started to get into DooM once again, after having not played it in a long while. Seeing as I was out of WADs to play through I decided to lurk around the Skulltag forums and play through some. Out of the many I downloaded quite a few stood out as seriously high-quality, fun as fuck and generally great little things. I'm creating this so that anyone on NG can put links up and recommend their favourite WAD files. I'd rather you write up a few sentences or so about the wads you're recommending, although I wouldn't say it's a requirement. I'll start out with Mercenaries.

Mercenaries

Mercenaries is a weapon and map mod for ST/DooM2 by xXx (or Ænima. as he's now known) that I found on the Skulltag forums a few weeks back, I'm not sure when it was released but I assume it was relatively recently (no earlier than 2008). There hasn't been too much hype about it but at the moment it's easily my favourite WAD (or pk3). When you boot up, there are four modes to choose from- Boot Camp (training mode), Hell on Earth (regular DooM 2 campaign), Gunz-4-Hire (survival cooperative map) in addition to Frag'n'Bag (a deathmatch mode). There are also 6 'classes', so to speak. They're Assault, Stealth, Recon, Heavy, Pyro, Field Medic and Sniper, each with their own weapons and perks. For example, the Heavy class uses a minigun and the Recon class can set a pack of dogs upon his enemy. There are also fuckloads more features, for example:

* Cash System
* Shooting Range
* Training Map
* Many New Weapons
* New Monsters
* New Textures
* X360 Achievement Styled Things
* Manual Reload System
* Scopes
* Ranks
* Items/Inventory
* Flashlight
* Portable Turret
* Online Radio-Chat

Keep in mind that my list's by no means complete, it's just the things that I've noticed in my time using the mod, there are probably a lot more in there.

While I haven't played any user created DOOM WADs in quite awhile, Mercenaries sounds really cool, I'm going to have to check it out, thanks for the recommendation!

It would be nice, however, if you could link to a page where the file could be found. ;]

Heh, I can't believe I forgot to do this. Looking back, it seems that every post by Aenima on the Skulltag forum's been deleted (along with a supposed permaban) for whatever reason, so I'll quickly UL it onto Mediafire for you.

Apologies for that little blip.

Also, here's a few screenshots for anyone who want them. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

This is my favorite WAD of all time.

Counter-Strike Doom. I loved it.

I saw this in a YouTube video a while back, thought that I should give it a go. Since CS is online only and I couldn't find any servers hosting it I decided not to try it out. I might give it a spin now.
