If you’re interested in playing new Doom (2) levels, there is an extremely active community releasing unbelievably good levels regularly for free. Even John Romero himself has released 2 entirely new campaigns, the 2nd one late last year. Start from https://www.doomworld.com/cacowards/ and dive in.

I’ve been on a Doom binge for the last couple of months playing great mod after great mod, but nothing prepared me to the absolute humongous monstrosity that is Eviternity 2. This is GOTY 2024 and there is nothing that can possibly beat it! https://eviternity.dfdoom.com/

Edit: ok, this mod is kinda hilariously bad, and does not at all represent the Doom modding community. There are dozens of other 30-plus-level releases out there that are way, way better! For the curious, here is the discussion: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/148659-doom-iii-doom-i...

That Eviternity mod sells merchandise. Truly wild.

And I bought it (a t-shirt). The whole thing is just incredible. It’s impossible to really convey the scale and the quality of the game without playing it. Each map has its own new soundtrack, each one more amazing than the previous. We’re talking about huge maps with hundreds of enemies that might take you hours to beat, secret levels, new weapons, enemies, etc.

I'm a big fan of Ashes 2034 and its sequel, a post-apocalyptic total conversion set in Atlanta. They are perhaps the most unexpectedly professional love letter to late 1990s shooters that I have seen.

Yeah! I took a break from Eviternity and beat Ashes just a couple of days ago. It’s fantastic.
