Doomguy's Warzone Gold Edition

From DoomWiki.org

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. The maps that came with Gold Edition were re-released separately as Gold Storyline in December 2020, updated with most of the features introduced in Platinum Edition and some amount of new hidden content in a couple of the levels along with an alternative soundtrack that can be toggled in the options menu.

Criticism[edit]

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.
