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...
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.
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.
This site is updated whenever I've completed playing a new WAD to add it to the list at the bottom. I'm a casual player, want to see enough ammo in the levels and like to have a moderate difficulty. If you feel the same, the list might be also for you.
Immediately before the sentence you quoted: "Now the reason this mod is called Doom III is because it’s a sequel to Doom II. This has nothing in common with id Software’s Doom 3 game, which came out in 2004 and was a reboot."
Go buy a console if you want a AAA experience or just don't play it. Jesus christ the complaining about a free game that someone built for fun is unbelievable.
You may have tuckered out on Doom. But to some of us, it and other boomer shooters are evergreen. Especially if there are high quality third-party levels to rip and tear through.

Yeah! I took a break from Eviternity and beat Ashes just a couple of days ago. It’s fantastic.
Thanks for mentioning Eviternity 2. Never heard of it before and it looks really nice!
That Eviternity mod sells merchandise. Truly wild.

I've documented here how to play classic Doom (not only) on Linux in 2024: https://dk1mi.radio/playing-doom-in-2024/

I’ve had some fun doing a doom randomizer but I really find the base game to be lacking in depth and interesting gameplay.
Why did they have to call it doom 3... there already is a doom 3, that's going to get confusing really fast.
“You can download this Doom 3 Mod from this link.”
It’s even worse when they use language like this. So this is a mod for the 2004 game or what?
Immediately before the sentence you quoted: "Now the reason this mod is called Doom III is because it’s a sequel to Doom II. This has nothing in common with id Software’s Doom 3 game, which came out in 2004 and was a reboot."
> This mod, called Doom III
As a fan of doom, I can't wait to play this mod. Hope it will "respect" the style of its predecessors.
Hell yeah another 20 hours of doing the same boring thing all over again. Can't wait.

Matches my sentiments exactly. Yeah, DOOM is legendary. But who really plays doom for the sake of doom anymore?
I’m more interested in the umpteenth “x runs doom” post than more levels for a game most people never bother to complete in the first place.
