'''Doomguy's Warzone Gold Edition''' is a randomizer created by [[Doomguy 2000]].  It features an array of new monsters, 90 player classes, and new difficulty settings.  There are two different versions of Doomguy's Warzone Gold Edition: one that features the main WAD and the maps separately, and one where the two are merged.  It is a sequel to the earlier Doomguy's Warzone, which was released in 2010. It is considered a poor quality modification, in line with other creations by the same author. Five years later, [[Doomguy's Warzone Platinum Edition]] was released and according to the author himself, this is supposed to be groundbreaking with many new features.

==Criticism==
 
==Criticism==
The reception for this wad was poor, due to many factors.  The most frequently cited criticism was its overall lack of polish, with poorly designed levels which tended to be boxy and badly textured.  Enemy design was also lacking, with most new additions being severely overpowered recolors with nonsensical sounds attached to them--many of which the author purported to be based off of real people--or large, single frame sprites cut out of photographs which often caused visibility problems in areas with other smaller monsters.  The game was heavily cluttered with player classes and difficulty levels, most of which were largely indistinct from one another. While the game made an attempt at humor, it notoriously failed to deliver, relying heavily on pop culture, internet memes and juvenile jokes about gays and swearing.  Another major gripe was that the mod spammed pornographic images at the player in many places alongside other offensive imagery.  The end result was by and large considered far more irritating than it was funny by the Doom community.
+
As with other Doomguy 2000 modifications, this WAD was widely panned by the community for lack of polish; poorly designed levels; overpowered enemies consisting of recolors with nonsensical sound effects or large, single frame sprites cut out of photographs; being cluttered with redundant player classes and difficulty levels; pornographic content; inclusion of unaltered Doom II resources; and a reliance on pop culture, internet memes and juvenile jokes in an attempt to feign humor. Threads about the modification on the [[ZDoom]] forums were locked, with all links to it being removed.
 
 
Controversy continued to follow the mod when it was discovered that unaltered Doom II resources were included with the WAD. The author soon explained that he had put them in the WAD so as to allow for backwards compatibility with the original Doom.  When confronted about this by staff members of the ZDoom forums who told him the resources had to be removed or else his mod would be removed, Doomguy 2000 simply refused to acknowledge the problem and soon thereafter links to the mod were removed by moderators.  The thread was subsequently locked, and there was no further discussion of the mod.
 
 
 
The author himself responded poorly to his critics.  Though he claimed to have taken criticism of his earlier Doomguy's Warzone to heart, Gold Edition actually managed to drop even further in overall quality.  Early critics were shrugged off as having not given his mod a fair chance, despite many of them giving detailed lists of grievances taken directly from gameplay.  Doomguy 2000 willfully ignored certain statements in order to justify his own, continually stating that nobody understood his work because nobody had really played it.  Whether real or feigned, Doomguy displayed startling ignorance, seemingly unable to understand that his work was neither funny nor entertaining, seemingly coming to the conclusion that people wanted him to add even more content.  He would later write an article on the ZDoom Wiki about the mod featuring a "funny quotes" section of people complaining about his mod, a move that came across as pedantic and childish.  The article has since been removed.
 
  
==History==
+
==Other editions==
The original Doomguy's Warzone had much less content than the Gold Edition.  It was mostly lots of Realm667 content with some of Doomguy 2000's monsters like the Street Thug and Weightlifer12.  It also had 7 player classes and 8 different difficulties, replacing the all of the Doom ones except Nightmare and adding 3 more to the mix. The reception for the original was also poor with people complaining about the Tourette's Guy, Street Thug, Weightlifter12 and Cyberdemon Head, among other issues. The thread on the ZDoom forums eventually became locked after all of the controversy that transpired within the year. Doomguy's Warzone was mentioned in the 2010 Cacowards next to Æons of Death in the Worst Wad category.
+
* Doomguy's Warzone - Released a year later as a supposed reboot. Contains much less content, focusing on new monsters, with new endings and a lack of new player classes.
 
+
* Doomguy's Warzone Entire Roster Challenge! - The player goes up against the entire roster of Doomguy enemies.  
==Future Versions==
+
* Doomguy's Warzone All Stars! - A "best of" compilation according to its author, in two different versions for ZDoom and [[Skulltag]].
The following year a self titled reboot simply called Doomguy's Warzone was released.  This successor contains much less content and is more focused on the monsters that Doomguy 2000 created himself.  It also has new endings for Doom and Doom 2, includes new monsters such as Barack Obama, Joe(Green Mancubus recolor), and Nyan Cat to name a few.  This version also saw the retirement of player classes and has new quit messages that insult the player. Just like the previous gold edition, this reboot was panned similarly with some people going as far as calling Doomguy's Warzone the worst wad of 2012. Doomguy's Warzone became a sequel to '''Heaven''' which was released in June of 2012.
+
* The Warzone Elites - An alternative gameplay wad that features the best warzone characters according to it's author, with seven different player classes, and joke cheat codes.
 
+
* Doomguy's Warzone Platinum Stars! - An Updated version of the Skulltag All Stars! contains some of the new features presented in Platinum Edition.
There's also another edition called '''Doomguy's Warzone Entire Roster Challenge!''', where instead of going up against random enemies featured in the Warzone reboot, the player goes up against the entire roster.  This edition features nothing new, but the player can carry tripled amount of ammo, and starts off with 600% health.  This edition of Doomguy's Warzone is the first to not feature any new difficulties.  
+
* Doomguy's Warzone Platinum Edition - The sequel to the Doomguy's Warzone reboot and successor to the Gold Edition contains many new features not present in previous Warzone installments.
