I've played Doom a lot through out the years, I've gotten myself well antiquated with mods, source ports and the like. One thing I've always had a hard time trying to tackle is online multiplayer.
I've used both ZDaemon and and Doom Explorer with varying results.
Is it just not so great these days or what?
I just wanna be able to set up a zip file of everything set up and ready to go that for my friends who aren't as into Doom as I am and don't wanna mess with wad files and such for hours on end.I just want some quick multiplayer fun without slow ass servers and crazy ass mod incapability.
What do you guys use?
