I think we can all Agree that Death Wish is the best, but how would you rank the others?

[NightFright]

I still haven't played Death Wish yet, but from all the Blood addons I have played so far I would definitely rank "Bloodlines" really high. There are some levels in this episode, especially in ep.2, that you have definitely never seen in any Blood game, maybe not even in any with the Build engine. Atmospherically it's top notch. "The Twilight Zone" was so weird and disturbing it gave me goosebumps at times, and "Nightmare at 15fps" puts you right into an old black/white movie from the 20s without any sound, just the noise of the movie projector all the time. Absolutely insane. And then there's a level (don't remember the name right now) where you see the reflection of the houses in a pool, you dive into the water - and you can actually enter those reflections you saw at the surface. Brilliant.

I haven't played any custom maps, still going through the main game for the first time. But is The Long Goodbye any good? Also, there are some map packs out, which are compilations of (hopefully) good maps?

[Phredreeke]

I'll add Bloody Pulp Fiction and Legends of the Iconoclast to the list.

As for compilations try Blood Chronicles 2 by Sir Seizhak https://www.moddb.co...nicles-volume-2

Haven't played that many but this was really cool, even if short:

Bioshock theme is a fantastic fit for Blood.

That one deserves a mention, it's in my backlog for sure!

Yes. Bloodlines is mind-blowingly good !

The Lost Episode

This Episode is made up of eight maps taken straight from the leaked alpha.

I found this useful page in the awesome Blood Wiki!

The level with the reflection in water... Which is actually a hint of what to do :rolleyes: is Gallery of Dreams...

Felix's updated version of the map fleshes out and unlocks as well an Escher room.

Maybe someday we will finish it all :wub: we joked about Duke Forever and now we've surpassed it by a few years... But just re actively (use the term loosely) working on it since February 2018.

Lots of good suggestions on this list already.

Ravenloft was great back in day and GODS Trilogy. They were the Staples first couple years after game release. God's does some crazy stuff in a game that didn't really let it, the creators bent the unmodified engine to their will :D

[Phredreeke]

Gallery of Dreams is probably my favourite Blood usermap.

[Manhs]

French Meat has good classic maps too! :rolleyes:

[Tekedon]

"A Bloody Mess" Is pretty cool people who have played it say :rolleyes: but it's not done yet :D.

Yup.. originally.. but decided to drop that map from the addon. So it'll include some other maps instead.

Bloodlines is truly one of my favorite addons. It has a special creepy atmosphere about it which I love.

[daMann]

Thanks David, so much good stuff in there. Lots of good work from the original Blood user Mappers.
