The Classic Doom 3 modification is a remake of the original 1993 Doom game, by id Software, in Doom 3. The main emphesis is that of brining the older game up to date in a modern graphics engine. The project makes use of all of Doom 3's advanced graphical features while retaining the atmosphere of the original game. This mod only works with the original retail release of Doom 3, patched to version 1.3.1. This mod does not currently work with the Doom 3 BFG Edition. Some BFG source ports are available that reportedly work with this mod, but are untested. The project is complete, and only includes the shareware levels.
This is FREAKING AMAZING all the maps look familiar yet updated and new, and it has remakes of the original music heard in the first DOOM. There is even an opening cinematic that explains how the main character gets there in the first place. Awesome. Just freaking AWESOME.
Fantastic Doom 3 mod, if there's any Doom 3 mod out there that will bring back the nostalgia of the old Doom game, this is the one to download.
Great mod!
Excellent graphic conversion, textures, skins etc. Not playable though. Individual health and powerups do not add anything. The exit button at the end of level 1 does nothing. Cannot continue past level 1. Save games do nothing either in the save menu or by using quicksave. Looks like a great game if bugs were fixed.
An terrific example of what a mod can become.
Classic Doom 3 brings back the old joyous memories of Doom 1 Episode 1. Whats not to love of replaying old maps with upgraded graphics and music.
This is what I wanted Doom 3 to be.
Well, this mod is like the original Doom episode 1, Knee deep in the dead, and it's all the fun and thrill the old game was.
It's not the best looking mod for D3 but if you think about original D it still is a huge step foward. The mod itself simply offers the same first episode as the game did, with old weapons, levels, enemies and secrets. The difficulty also is harsh, and this is mod even offers adrnalin rushes of sick oldschool shooting awesomeness on medium difficulty, on hard it's really a nightmare. Only backdraw is that there is only the first episode what means only pistol, shotgun, chaingun, rocketlauncher and a chainsaw, and no plasmarifle or a bfg.
Also the chainsaw is a bit pointless, as it's complettly suicidal to run into any enemy with it.
Over all this one of the best D3 mods I've played so far, as it truely brings back DOOM in all it's classic glory. If you haven't played original DOOM then be sure to play this instead.
I simply copy and paste one of the past reviews:
