Cool mods people might have missed.

Care to link us to the older ones so we can know and possibly experience what it is you're talking about?

i.e. is it this?

The Rebel is a recent release by Richard Smith Long that favors occult-type weaponry. It might be of interest if you liked Satanic.

I've actually been making a list of Doom wads myself, popular & obscure. Looked through /idgames & played anything between 4 & 5 stars, looked through the Cacowards, but I'm sure I missed plenty. Especially interested in any good wads for Heretic/Hexen/Strife.

UPDATE (4/30):

Lots, LOTS more Doom wads added, thanks to Meg@doomer

[ArchXeno]

That's a nice list!

This post was so useless......

[Meg@Doomer]

That is a good list to get started, although some very good wads are not included on it. The Heretic list especially is missing tons of stuff. For example, Shadowcaster? Hordes of Chaos X (all 5 episodes)? Sinful Discharge? Carnage Galore I/II (especially II)? Gulag? Heretic Treasure Chest? History of Fruit? Master's Domain? Maps by Ken Phipps, SailorScout, and/or Pablo Dictter? Those are just the map sets or series I could think of, there are some other single maps.

Obviously some of these might be understandably missed (as is the case in the Doom listings), or happen not to be liked so much by the player who assembled this list, but I doubt the list-maker dislikes all of these offerings. Especially considering that there's a bunch of rather ordinary stuff mentioned for Hexen (and BTW, as extensions to missing Heretic wads, Carnage Galore 3 and Resurrection of Chaos (technically a 6th Hordes of Chaos episode) are missing).

But I agree it is a good list overall. It would take me a VERY long time to list every single thing for all these games that is very good. Especially the single-map wads, there's so many of those I've never even thought about trying to make a list, and this list includes a lot of the best ones.

...The Heretic list especially is missing tons of stuff. For example:

Shadowcaster
Hordes of Chaos X (all 5 episodes)
Sinful Discharge
Carnage Galore I/II (especially II)
Gulag
Heretic Treasure Chest
History of Fruit
Master's Domain
Maps by Ken Phipps, SailorScout, and/or Pablo Dictter

...and BTW, as extensions to missing Heretic wads, Carnage Galore 3, and Resurrection of Chaos (technically a 6th Hordes of Chaos episode. are missing.

See, that's why I made the list
Those wads would *never* have been mentioned, and probably many more to come would not have been added either.
I will edit the post with updates (and its accompanying picture) as I get more suggestions.

That fleshes out the Heretic section a bit. Anyone know of any good Strife wads?

Carnage Galore III and Resurrection of Chaos are for Hexen, that's why I mentioned them separately. But I probably wasn't clear enough, so I'll just kindly recommend putting them under Hexen.

Also didn't quote this part but what do you mean in saying they would've *never* been mentioned? Never have been mentioned if what didn't happen?

For Strife, I don't have it but there's a grand total of three wads that I've heard are worthwhile for it:

Day of the Apocalyte
Return of the Order
And finally, the recent highly praised map: "A World in Strife: Raiding the Dam".

I could name many more recommended items to list for Doom/Doom II as well if you'd like. Simply ask me to, I just don't want to make a such a long post without knowing it would be appreciated (waste of forum space and of my time otherwise). But I wouldn't mind doing it.

Noted!

Never would have been mentioned if a relative newbie (who didn't even know about Heretic until about a year ago), discovered ZDoom, got into Doom again, posted a list of good wads he had played, and found out there were a TON of wads he missed playing back in the early days of Doom Legacy

For Strife, I don't have it but there's a grand total of three wads that I've heard are worthwhile for it:

Day of the Apocalyte
Return of the Order

Will definitely check those out.

Well, you don't have to go to ALL that trouble.
But if there are a few, really stand-out wads wads that you know of, that would *certainly* be appreciated.

Actually I have a file on my computer with all the best Doom episodes/megawads/conversion I've found.

Any good mods missing from that list, anyone? Not level wads, but wads that add in new weapons, monsters, etc.

I've looked through both these forums & the DRD Team site, but I'm sure I'm missing some.
