Stupid ambushes, like 20 Chaingunners, or Revenants or Archviles in a tight place.
Spoiler: semi-serious (Open)
Lack of barrels, lack of maps like 'barrels o' fun'.

Lack of cover for annoying/dangerous monsters such as Chaingunners, Revenants, Arch-Viles, Spider Masterminds or Cyberdemons.

Lack of firepower to handle groups of bigger monsters.

Shortage of health or ammo.

There's a HR2 (I think it was that?) map that does this; 4 manucbi, a cyberdemon, and a crapload of other things the instant the start elevator hits the top. All that and you have to hit multiple switches while doing it.

Good god.

When that map has a catastrophic number of monsters and you have to kill them with BFG9000. And when you can't find regular weapons (shotgun, chaingun..) easily and losing 90% of health in the attemp.

voodoo dolls

since majority of doom ports are based on multiplayer, i wish creators would put a fix in a megawad to avoid patches

Maps that pits the player with swarms of monsters at the very start.

Too much ammo.
Damn, sometimes I want to have to chainsaw a cacodemon to save bullets.

Also lack of zombies.

Maps where there are sharp corners to get caught on easily while trying to move... Also, SP or CO-OP maps that throw 30 Revenants or Archviles at you in an enclosed space, with little to no cover, and you're stuck with a slow-firing weapon. (Which seems to happen all too often in many WADs that I've played.)

Guilty... I've done this. It's one of many reasons I'm not going to map SP or CO-OP again.
