redesigns all of Episode 2 with a brand new 'hell-tech' arsenal as well as a bestiary made up of mostly hell-tech version of the original Doom/Doom 2 cybernetic demons. Episodes 2 and 3 will also share most of its cast of monsters, as well as weapons.
Note: There are plans to revamp Episode 1 once the all three episodes are completed, with a new texture pack and some touched up monster graphics.
Most of the new weapons are not yet polished and their sounds and effects will probably be updated in the future. Their basic function, though has been finalized. I still need 4 more weapons completed for Episode 2, and 2 for Episode 1 to finalized the weapons. None of the newer Episode 2 monsters have been finished to any satisfactory point, so they are not included here. Same with the maps.
The Story So Far:
Just an hour ago, you were a simple military sergeant with the UAC's private military dispatched to provide basic security detail and training the new recruits at the barracks. Life was simple until it all went wrong.
A distress signal arrived from Mars, demanding immediate back up to fend off some sort of "invasion". No one but the corporate tops know what's really going on in the UAC's Martian experimental facilities. But whatever it was, seems to have caused some serious trouble for the inhabitants. The message was jumbled up and one could only make out a few words like "invasion", "demons", and "hell". The gunfire and the sounds of men dying in the background didn't make it easier to understand. After about 20 seconds, the message cuts off.
Without delay, the corporate tops ordered an immediate dispatch of the best marines through what was still an experimental gateway. However, transport to Mars through it, if it worked correctly, would be instantaneous, rather than a month or two on even the fastest ship. The order was given out, and hundreds of the finest the UAC has to offer was lined up, geared and ready to provide the Martians some back up. Things were looking well, until the activation of the Gateway.
When the Gateway opened, all hell broke lose — literally. A giant mechanical monster trampled through, and immediate opened fire with what looked like a mounted BFG-9000. The best the UAC had to offer were all disintegrated in a few seconds. Chaos broke lose within the Gateway control facility as hordes of small creatures poured out of the three gates. They ran through the facility with hellish speed and killed anyone that got in their way. Those unfortunate enough not to die were somehow "possessed" and quickly turned on their comrades. These subverted guards lead the invaders through the rest of the neighboring facilities. The UAC compound was quickly lost, and all communications ended.
To make matters worse, instead of sending in back up, the UAC ordered a blockade on the compound. No one was allowed to leave alive. Everyone and everything trying to make a run for it was shot on sight. It seems covering up whatever was going on was worth a lot more to them then you and your men's lives. With no way to escape out of the facility, and monsters rampaging through every hallway, you had to make a choice and fast. Would you risk being shot by your own kind, or be devoured by the creatures that are pouring through?
The only escape route was through that Gateway, even with a giant mechanized brain-monster in your way. You grab what weapon you have and make your way to through the barracks. Your goal is clear, to survive, and to contain, if possible, this invasion, by shutting down the primary reactor. You aren't sure how you will make it out of this, but it sure beats joining to military just to be shot by your own guys.
