Dwango5 is a compilation of WADs created for deathmatch play on DWANGO servers. Players submitted WADS to a Dallas-based BBS (The Wall DiSc ][) operated by Nileppez, which were then reviewed by a team consisting of veteran players such as Core, Natas, Aikman and other players from the Dallas DWANGO server who would rate submitted levels based repeated play in four-player matches. The original (1-6) DWANGO wads were planned to often have a MAP01 remake opening the collection with a mixture of small to large maps intended to appeal to varying styles of game play. Less-experienced players sometimes preferred larger maps which allowed more time to survive as they sought out opponents, whereas the advanced players preferred smaller arena-styled designs for maximum conflict.
