There are some good maps in there for sure, but so many of them were just tedious slogs. I have no desire to replay it and go through those again.

Final doom is available as two different wads. Plutonium and TNT.
No you don't have to login to my knowledge. Fairly certain that we removed.

I follow the Doom community over at Doomworld. The response to Sigil has been quite positive. They are huge fans of the original episode 1 id style.
I don’t much understand it personally. What modders have been able to do is much more interesting in mho. With that said, I would love to see more Romero levels for Quake.

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t call it bad. My biggest issue was how ugly the levels were at times. I appreciated the challenge and the soundtrack by buckethead was cool.

Yeah I’m most of the way through this WAD now and I love the level design. if you have have Doom II definitely check it out.

It's on OG doom as well.
I tend to like more E1 from OG Doom designs more than Doom II. So Zero was pretty strong for me. I liked the random call backs to other levels as well.
I found a lot of the secrets fun to find which is pretty rare for WADs for me.

Saying it's "episode 1" style is kind of a cope when you think about what they're really saying. I'd agree, as I just don't see it as a positive. Maybe I can't appreciate that style without the nostalgia buzz the original maps give me. I want to like it, and there is some fan service and "trademark Romero" parts. But even in the glory days his levels were hit or miss. Sigil doesn't hit as hard or miss as hard though. The bad levels aren't as cheap as his doozies. They're hard in a way that's time consuming rather than skill based.

Yeah I know what you mean. In just about every level I can tell what the creator is going for so it makes hunting for the secrets fun.

Yeah I don’t get it personally, but they love this stuff.
Doom the Way id Did
Doom the Way id Did is a 2011 megawad for Doom containing 27 new levels designed to mimic the mapping style of Sandy Petersen, John Romero and Tom Hall. The project was founded by Jason Root (Hellbent) as a community project and later led by a core group consisting of Jacob Zuchowski (ellmo)...

Played through this on the weeknd. Couldn't put it down. Was able to load into the Doom Android port pretty easy and played it there with the Razer Kishi. Worked really well.Yeah I don’t get it personally, but they love this stuff.

I could play e1 style maps all day. Not sure why.
I enjoyed that they even left lost souls, cacodemons, BFG and Plasma out of the first episode. Was really faithful and cool homage.

I liked it! Beat it a few times, and the MIDI sountrack is really good too.

Yeah it's good! At least to my liking. I just meant it didn't really have to be good. It's a OG creation 25 years later. Pretty cool even if it was awful.

I've played Sigil a couple times and I really like it for the most part. Granted, I haven't played a whole lot of user-made WADs since I'm more of a console gamer, but I think most of Sigil's maps are both really cool looking and cleverly laid out. I recall stopping a number of times throughout Sigil just to appreciate how cool the level looked at certain points.
I'm about 1/3 into Doom Zero and enjoying it a lot too so far.

I liked Doom Zero quite a bit. There are a few too many SR50 required puzzles for my liking but I really enjoyed most of the maps. I liked Double Impact quite a bit too which is available in the mod/wad store on console. It can be brutal on UV though.

Certainly a possibility now more than ever.
