The 20th Annual Cacowards

Every year, Doomworld hosts an event on Doom's birthday (usually! this year it came a bit late) celebrating it, as well as projects and creations by members of the Doom community itself in a feature called the Cacowards.

This year their Multiplayer category has been expanded to more than just one winner, with one award going to a popular Zandronum project that I will let you find out for yourselves!

EDIT: Fixed old grammar error, I typed this up half asleep apparently!

Samsara earned it 100%, it's a shame wads like Shotgun Frenzy, Velocity CTF, etc got overtaken by eyedea.

I don't think those mods were allowed because neither of them were being worked on this year.

Yeah I was a bit suprised by eyedea, not to say I don't like it. Idk if Deww gave the award or just wrote about it.

Totally missed this thread.
Great stuff, even the mockaward for Extreme Weapon Pack had me smiling, if only for the description.

I honestly had never heard of Eyedea before now (in no small part due to me not playing competitive anymore), but I see the reasoning behind it. AlexMax makes great stuff, and good 1v1 CTF maps are no little thing.

As for Shotgun Frenzy not being on the list, well, as said.. It's just not in development anymore.
And on the serverside it doesn't seem to attract much attention anymore, even with that unofficial patch. A pity, it's a great mod.

Good selections indeed! The mock award had me laughing, that's for sure! Other than that congrats to everyone else!

1v1 ctf maps are infact no thing at all.

Well there you go. :lol:

Damn article tossing me off. Still, more good 1v1 DM maps can only be a good thing. :razz:
