Some people just want to be contrarians, maybe because Sunlust kicked their ass. Complaining about "popularity contests" and then voting for Going Down is particularly funny.

 

10 Sunlust
9 Sunder
8 Going Down
7 Struggle: Antaresian Legacy

 

3 Dimension of the Boomed
3 The 10x10 Project
3 Preacher

 

2 Abscission
2 Nostalgia 2
2 Stardate 20X6
2 Jumpwad
2 Fractured Worlds
2 Altars of Madness

I am aware that going down is popular. However, unlike the other top 15-20, it doesnt come up in talks as often as them. The only time its mentioned is when either Cyriak or the wad itself gets brought up. It never comes up for any other reason, like the other popular wads.

I know going down is popular, but what do you want from me, i like it, therefore im giving it points. Buzz off.

Also, dont start fights. We both know you wouldnt get punished because you're a regular, and im not, but thats not an excuse for you to start fights, just because it wont harm you.

Here's my picks. Ones that were higher on the list are given less points, even though I still think quite highly of them.

9 Ultimate Doom
9 Grove
7 Cyberdreams
7 Equinox
7 Chex Quest series
5 TNT: Revilution
3 Plutonia
2 Scythe
2 Alien Vendetta
2 Valiant
2 Ancient Aliens

Another update. Removed points from AA, Valiant, Struggle and SOD to make room for Resurgence, Machete and JPCP. It's kind of ironic that the more wads you have played, the harder it becomes to assign points.

It's easiest to do an all-time list when you've played fewer wads and the clear standouts from those are obvious. But when you've played dozens of wads you'd think of as, like, 9.5/10 or 10/10 good even while being stingy about that, it becomes really hard. I have Sunlust and Lost Civ and Counterattack as top-3 still but between 4-30 it's just vibes and feel because the differences are so small to me.

@El Inferno, you have 56 points total. Please remove 1 point.

@LadyMistDragon, you have 54 points total. You can leave it as is, or add 1 point now or later.

@m8f, I have one small question.

Is there a separate discussion thread for whole top community WADs topic?

Or all discussion is held in the same thread as voting?

Also, thank you for your great work!

No, there is no separate thread for discussion, please discuss here.

I have completed Eviternity II and this means another update :p

Recently noticed I've never actually replied to this thread. Well, to rectify that:

10 to Eviternity II

10 to Eviternity

10 to Micro Slaughter Community Project

9 to Alien Vendetta

8 to Sunder

6 to Heartland

2 to Sigil

While I haven't finished Eviternity II yet, it'd have to royally screw up in what maps I have left in order for me to suddenly turn around and hate it, which I find it very hard to believe it'll do. I'm sure I'll change my mind in the future, but for now these are the sets I have the fondest feelings for.

2024 update

10 to Back To Saturn X Episode 3

10 to Eviternity II

10 to Eviternity

10 to Sunder

10 to Abandon

5 to Micro Slaughter Community Project

Damn! Doomer Board Projects feel left out here again.. :(

Sorry for the late update.

By the way, the list now contains rough information on engine requirements. If you notice any errors, please let me know!
