Chalk up another Brutal Doom one here. It's violence is cathartic and gameplay great fun.

Parkour, Psychic, Brutal Doom, and the HQ sound wad are likely to stay on my hard drive forever.
Now, if I could merge all of these together...

Re: What's your favorite Doom enhancement wad?
Mainly my own, which has been worked on pretty continuously for a few years now. It's built out of finding resources from others that are well done and I really like and either putting them in directly or often editing myself to fit them in a way that I feel is balanced. Occasionally I'll add some parts put together only by myself; most of the weapons are from scratch DECORATE, a reasonable handful of the monsters are as well, I did a few of the small item or effects sprites myself, some of the sounds, etc... It's basically gotten to the point that if a new Boom compatible megawad comes out and is considered pretty good, I'll play it with my mod first before trying it with the default Doom stuff.
With regards to other peoples' work... I probably spent the most time with some versions of Diaz, and I hold it in pretty high regard.

I love Brutal Doom. It's like if you took three servings of Doom, put them in a blender, turned it up to the "RIP AND TEAR" setting, put the result in an ice cube tray and froze it, smashed the ice cubes into dust, and then snorted it off a dead pinky's backside. Intense, messy, and absolutely satisfying.
I find pretty much everything from Xaser and Weasel to be enjoyable, of course. From Psychic to Diaz to Grenades N' Stuff to Cold Hard Cash (GASP, AN *EDGE* MOD!? speaking of which Immoral Conduct is still one of the best ones out there, albeit somewhat primitive by today's standards. Then again, this is DOOM. *EVERYTHING* is primitive by today's standards. ), it's all good.
I would say "AEons of Death", but that's not really an "enhancement" wad; It's a completely different experience.
Hideous Destructor still holds a place in my heart, even though I suck at it. It's right around that level of unfairness known as "Nintendo Hard", which is hard enough to make you throw down your controller (or keyboard in this case i guess) in disgust, but not hard enough that you won't try it again. I wish it was compatible with Skulltag, though, because I'm sure it'd be a blast in Survival. Except nobody would ever host it in Survival BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL PUSSIES.
Actually, you know what? I'm going to stop now, because if I listed every mod I liked, I'd be here all day. These were just some of the first ones to come to mind, so don't be offended if I left yours out.
I'll just leave it at this: I've never played a Doom mod that I wish I hadn't*, and I've tried quite a few of them.
*except UAC Military Nightmare but that hardly counts. The GVH-knockoff version of it was... interesting, though.

Re: What's your favorite Doom enhancement wad?
I play a lot of gameplay mods, but my favorites are: the Diaz mod, Real Guns Hardcore, Psychic, Zero Tolerance, Doom Vercetti, my modified version of ReDoom and of course, Brutal Doom. I also play my own, but unreleased, Project MSX for testing purposes.

Re: What's your favorite Doom enhancement wad?
brutal doom. Mainly because its so....brutal
SuperSkulltag is also pretty good, but not as good as brutal doom IMO
I just downloaded Real Guns Hardcore after hearing about it in this thread...amazing stuff

Re: What's your favorite Doom enhancement wad?
Seeing Weasel enjoy the co-authored ReDoom made me want to go play it again. It also reminds me how many tweaks Greaser Enhanced still needs for gameplay balance, but in all honesty WARZONE remains in my heart as one of the coolest enhancements. To update that beast into working on modern ZDoom ports...

Re: What's your favorite Doom enhancement wad?
I switched through pertty much any kind of enhancements for Doom.
Until I found Brutal Doom.
I don't think I'm ever going to play Doom with anything else that's not Brutal Doom.
Also Ethril, by my god that was a fantastic description of Brutal Doom.
quick edit: I just realised I said Brutal Doom 3 times in my post. Oh wait, now it's 4. It's corrupting my mind ahh help me

Re: What's your favorite Doom enhancement wad?
Footman's Doom 64 Stuffs mod. Jekyll Grim Payne's Beautiful Doom. My custom version of Woolie Wool's Mutiny 2.0 mod. My amalgamation of resources known as Modern Doom. Any number of these and much more. Doom forever!
Re: What's your favorite Doom enhancement wad?
Brutal Doom at the moment, though for a long while it was ReDoom.

Re: What's your favorite Doom enhancement wad?
I know this may sound blasphemous, but does anyone know how to play Brutal Doom with the original weapons? The new ones are interesting, but I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to the weapons.
Also, does anyone know where I can find the blood wall decal info and sprites in BD? I'd really like to have that in my enhancement wad.
