10 BEST Doom Mods & WADs of February 2022

[@PaleHorse73]

I remember when Doom was first released. There was nothing anywhere, even close to this type of game, the atmosphere and gameplay. It was hard to stop playing, even to go to work haha. A few these look amazing and I am really looking forward to getting back into this universe. Thanks for the video!

[@SLISKI_JOHNNY]

I recommend Beautiful Doom mod - it works with nearly every WAD and polishes the animations (adds additional frames to make them smoother) as well as HQ sounds without changing the game's gameplay and feel. It's also very customizable. It makes the game hella fun to play even today, i actually prefer it to all those BrutalDoom-like mods

[@naut768]

my man talking from memory what a legend

[@hanselsgrettles5755]

hell yeah bro

[@Mutant_Mods]

I know some of them didn’t come out on February. I will always try to find WADs of the month I plan to make the video for but if the selection isn’t enough I will mention more WADs from recent time not necessarily from that specific month.

[@mattc7420]

No texture filtering, that's the mark of a true Doom fan.

[@Mutant_Mods]

Texture filtering is cancer. I will never understand what stops people from playing a game just because it uses sprites and pixel graphics. Everything nowadays has to be ultra 4K HD realistic. Even game devs don’t get the obsession with graphics, the more realistic a game is, the less of a game it actually is.

[@RationalFunction]

@@Mutant_Mods I wish I could like this 1 trillion times.

[@gta_s555sad]

@@Mutant_Mods yes Yes YES

[@RationalFunction]

@@Mutant_Mods texture filtering only looks good with HQ resize. Games that look realistic can still be good games, see Xonotic.

[@RainCloudVideos]

Can’t watch one doom video without someone whining about texture filtering

[@alexandrumarinescu1]

Ashes 2063 and Afterglow are one of the best post apocalyptic games i have ever played.

[@chiefsmokey7189]

Hi, author of Unfamiliar Trilogy here. I'm surprised to see someone mentioning it considering the last update was in September last year. Thanks for the little spotlight!

[@Mutant_Mods]

Thank you for the wonderful wad!

[@MrVENOMSLAYER]

I like the weapons in the mod is there a weapons pack used or is there any way to make a weapons mod from it

[@russbrz2179]

Omg this channel is definitely a go-to for doom modding community players. Classic Doom really lacks from content that supports, show or give updates about what's new on the modding side of doom. I really appreciate the effort put on this video man, keep it up pls.

[@Mutant_Mods]

Just the beginning

[@АнтонМихалев-г4ж]

Thanks for Ashes! It's Gorgeous. This mode has some Carpenter's vibe, mixed with Mad Max and Rage. Just love it!

[@maltsutty]

Can you please make this a regular series !?! There is not enough doom mod content out there (I’m being serious) and videos like this definitely help me find some of the more interesting mods/wads out there . Great stuff . Subbed and keep it up 💪💪🔥🤘

[@chipperP]

Ummmm: there are MOUNTAINS of Doom mod videos out there. However: this is also good content too!

[@maltsutty]

@@chipperP I have seen decino, dwars, civvie, FP, Icarus , dean of doom and a few others but this video is different it’s a nice compilation with voice overs and production quality . This vid was great tho as I’d only heard of shinobi doom - the rest were new to me 😃😀

[@Mutant_Mods]

@@chipperP while there is content for DOOM I personally don't find most of them enjoyable or even entertaining. Most DOOM content on KZbin is boring and WAD lists are repetitive and too general.

[@GelleSzebasztian]

@@Mutant_Mods I agree, this one is the only one I ever enjoyed. Thank you a lot.

[@retrochomp]

I wholeheartedly agree. When i discovered the channel i was pleasantly surprised with these videos where you bring us all these wonderfull maps, megawads and total conversions in a neat package. Love the inviting colourfull thumbnails and bitesized descriptions of the mods. Marines... Look no further! DooM the gift that keeps on giving, got another awesome curator and you just found it!

[@shwackedgaming4186]

Love ashes 2063, it so awesome when I first tried it out. Also love the ending of the vid your editing is really amazing and hyping me up for the next vid, keep up the good work.

I commented halfway through the video, I'm honored Ray Mohawk was mentioned!

[@Mutant_Mods]

Nah man the honor is mine! Thanks for creating good wads. If I’m not mistaken you also made a wad I played some time ago called rowdy rudy I think.

[@Dondlo46]

Good to see you get into more DooM stuff, bunch of great mods for february, lets see what this month will give us

[@Blake_Stone]

"EGA" is E.G.A. (Enhanced Graphics Adapter), the predecessor to VGA, Super VGA and modern colour palettes. CGA had 16 colours, EGA had 64 and VGA had 256. EGA was the common standard for IBM compatibles in the mid-80s.

[@ASecretToEveryone86]

Thank you sir. I felt like I was going to scream when I heard that.

[@jeremylindemann5117]

Oh man, it's funny to see people who don't know about old video standards talk about them like that. I simultaneously feel old but wise. CGA had 16 colours but could only display 4 at time. Some people will remember the pink, blue, white and black that they saw some games with.

[@Blake_Stone]

@@jeremylindemann5117 It makes me a little sad because every man and his dog knows the console terminology - "8bit era", "16bit era" etc... but it seems like the roughly equivalent PC terms are obscure lore known only to a select few these days. Brings a tear to this old PC Master Race eye...

[@janoskovacs9406]

The Bikini Bottom Massacre is really fun ^^ Thank you for the recommendation!

[@deadeyezayuh]

thanks for the recommended mods! that cyberpunk one sounds perfect!

[@PuppleStorm]

01:02 I like Doomguy put green hat on like Zelda I mean Link

[@superhooch]

Your thumbnails are insanely good man

[@brendan5923]

I'm amazed. Ashes 2063 is simply the best mod ever created for Doom. Hands down.

[@Mutant_Mods]

I agree 100% Brendan. For what Ashes does it does way too well to be labelled a mod!

[@yaboimoney1]

If you haven’t, a couple of mods with great maps are Epic 2 and Doom 2 Reloaded

[@everinghall8622]

Even without the TC file, the map set alone is incredible, I use it for TC s that work well with more open space, just beware, most tcs will turn all the guards in settlements into immortal gods that attack on dight

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Agreed, Ashes is *_GODLY._*

[@delaceylehane7758]

Anyone know if it can be played with Brutal Doom?

[@TheNarancia]

Auger Zenith map 10 music's is from the soundtrack of Escape from New York with Kurt Russel

[@Jason75913]

much appreciated vid and info, thanks definitely interested in "Unfamiliar Trilogy" & "Ashes 2063"

[@theskykeeper8476]

You deserve way more views dude! I love these recommendations

[@UnchainedEruption]

Holy mother of all wads...this video makes a good enough case on its own to give out like 30-50 cacowards instead of 10. So many mind-blowing high-quality fan projects out there. Just...wow.

[@pariah87]

I'm literally watching this the day before halloween and you're like "halloween season is over" lol

[@victorvance2573]

Wow Ashes 2063 / Afterglow looks like a mixture between Duke Nukem 3D and the first Deus Ex.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

It's that, and so much more. I cannot recommend it enough.

[@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180]

The soundtrack for Auger Zenith is from Streets of Rage 1, maybe using a different soundfont(says a lot about me that I can recognize it by the few seconds it plays,lol). If you like it, it's by Yuzo Koshiro, famous for his music pieces on Sega games. I find it kinda funny that seconds later you review a beat'em-up Doom when Streets of Rage is as much the creator of the genre as Final Fight.

[@Ahov]

Ashes 2063 is my favorite game of all time. It is an absolute masterpiece.

[@SUBZERO-rd5oq]

The author for Auger Zenith was inspired by the level design and music of Streets of Rage - a brightly neon-lit side scrolling fighting game. The sample track that you played is actually a remix of Stage One's theme in the first Streets of Rage. Here is a link to that track: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inXEYWaKeauhb6M

I reallly need this, i'm like dying for finding new mods, but for some reason a compilation like this kicks me more to try them out

[@Mutant_Mods]

Its the ridiculous searching for the mods and needing a showcase before deciding to invest hours playing them.

[@shadekerensky3691]

What's fun is playing Augur Zenith with the Ashes monster and weapons packs and basically having it turn into a situation where you're a lone bounty hunter suddenly caught on a world where the population suddenly devolved or even mutated to be unable to comprehend the tech around them and it becomes a fight for your life to escape the hellhole you've found yourself in.

[@SevenCompleted]

EGA is 16 color graphics. Enhanced graphics adapter xD which was a step up over 4 color CGA

[@mememindmind1010]

You can just refer to Pineapple Under The Sea as just PUSS, I added the studios bit for the trailer I made for it.

[@Rustvaar]

Money's tight, so being able to play totally new .wads (hello Ashes 2063/ Afterglow) is a welcome treat. Thanks for the video and bringing these to wider audience.

[@Mutant_Mods]

Bro Doom is still the most satisfying FPS game for me. So to have all this content available os insane

[@Rustvaar]

@@Mutant_Mods I played through Ashes 2063 in, near enough, one sitting and it was amazing. I'm trying to pace myself a little more with Afterglow, but it's *so* impressive. It's hard to put into words how enjoyable it is. I really hope to keep finding more gems like this (please tell me it's not just a one in a million) and will continue to follow your channel for any [forget the word?] "referrals?" to further top-tier mods. Keep that content coming, it is appreciated by so many. Thanks!

[@kronos2006]

Bro, Ashes is just insanely good. I wish there was a possibility that the dev could remake these games in an engine wich allowed some open world gameplay, like New Vegas or Stalker.

[@paxhumana2015]

I think that Ashes 2063/Afterglow is now a stand alone game that can be officially bought.

[@TheDutchGhost]

If someone makes you pay for Ashes 2063 and Afterglow you must inform Vostyok immediately as these games are suppose to be free. Anyone selling these games are not working with him and are stealing his work as well as that of others, not to mention copyrighted content that is owned by Id.

[@RationalFunction]

7:30 no, it makes the game look like it used EGA graphics instead of VGA, and EGA only had 16 colors.

[@epicmetalwarrior5476]

Ashes is a real gem and a must play

[@sseshadowrider3553]

Good Vid. Keep working man. I hope you will find success :)

[@noahrules7146]

hope this becomes a series its pretty hard to find newer doom WADs so this is very helpful

[@Mutant_Mods]

Yeah I try to dig deep usually to find wads to showcase but I thought starting with something new would be best. And this will 100% be a series.

[@atdynax]

The music from the first WAD was from Streets of rage.

[@djkrazykaly]

Fun fact. Doom EGA, the EGA isnt actually a word, its an abbreviation for Enhanced Video Adapter. EGA was one of the modes PCs in the late 80s and early 90s could run games in. there was also CGA (Color Graphics Adapter), VGA (Video Graphics Array), and SVGA (Super Video Graphics Array)

[@Mutant_Mods]

I know but I'm not saying Ee Gee Aye. I'm gonna always just say Ega

[@tj71520]

I still have a 80386 pc with an ISA EGA card and a Phillips EGA CRT monitor

[@djkrazykaly]

@@tj71520 ok thats pretty beast in a low end kinda way. i LOVED building my first pc. a 486 DXII with a whopping 32 mb ram and a sound blaster pro sound card.

[@terrapinflyer273]

Some of these look really cool! I didn't even know Doom source ports were capable of some of those features. Nice finds!

[@HughMansonMD]

I don't know how I missed the Ashes sequel, especially because I searched for it and checked on it frequently. Regardless, I'm pumped. Probably going to download most of these WADs though, it's been a little too long since I played some Doom. Edit: yo, that outro is awesome

[@1pcfred]

It's been a little too long since I played some Doom too. It's coming up on an hour now. Must slay demons!

[@zorilla0]

"Doom EGA" is actually a mod called "EGA Doom" created by Sigavtr in 2011. It just happened to be uploaded to moddb.com in Oct 2021 by p2l, who made sure to give credit to the original author on the mod page. The mod is nothing more than a set of palette and colormap lumps, yielding some pretty powerful results with relatively minimal effort. Protip: if using GZDoom, be sure to run EGA Doom in the 256-color software renderer (not the true color one) so it actually uses the included colormap to determine how to select colors within the palette when applying lighting. On the thought of downgrading Doom's graphics and sound capabilities, this reminds me: I've had an idea floating around in my head for a while about making a mod that gives Doom a complete set of Adlib OPL2 FM sound effects. Unfortunately, FM synths are notoriously difficult to program, and Adlib tracker software uses bizarre, nonstandard hotkeys and lacks mouse support, so learning how to use one is no easy task. I could just rip existing sound effects from other games, but that would be lazy and uninspired.

[@CIADOOM]

Really digging this, hope to see more in the future! I've also been wanting to get back into Fallout so this channel is right up my alley.

[@mattc7420]

Woah. I never heard of AugerZenith before. I'm having a lot of fun with it and the Beautiful Doom mod. I played the intro with the DN3Doom mod, and it was like a Duke Nukem game!
