Mission 12 - Low on guns ammo. That passage not far from the start where numerous jumps were necessary. You can't play that meaningfully, regardless of difficulty. Fully weapons upgraded and modified.

Rivarez Mod it's great and I enjoyed using it. I didn't want to play the original version of Doom Eternal.

Great mod, Rivarez. Thanks for it !!!
I really enjoyed Doom 2016, the map progression and the story. There were combat encounters that started what Eternal will become, but it was still OK. Then Eternal was summoned and it was really the end of classic Doom gameplay. I didn't like it at all - the frenetic arcade ego trip. ;p I just stopped playing Eter(a)nal without even finishing it. Then came these dlcs.. and so on.. and finally, I "discovered" this great mod! ;)

I am playing the latest version v6.66 Rev 2.2. , and love the fact that you can combine other mods with it. First i used Modinjector (Super Punch, DoomFX II, Beefier Weapon SFX, HUD LowHealth Decrapifier, Keep The Dead) and then Rivarez mod. Everything works great so far - as long as you don't enable the location/barrier option.

Mission 8 cannot be played in the second phase without the game over. Any weapons I used, or chose any difficulty it was unplayable. Another armor would need to be added.

Mission 8 Completed. Health on HUD 5, as the second phase of the fight neared its conclusion. Dificulty - Easy. Even so, it was a very difficult boss fight, crowned by the game's save system.

Well i am in favor of how they upgraded the DOOM 3 experience , from perfectly design death choreography and level concepts claustrophobic to the point of insanity huge DOOM 2016 levels with the same mentality , it is so nice to have a modding tool that can bring the experience and fan to the levels the average gamer old or new school wants.

Not really sure but you seem to be more of a 20xx Gamer which is fine by me , 2016 version i consider it a bridge between old and new school gamers ID is a company they have to adapt with the new generation of customers.
But if you need to enjoy and respect ID as a top end gaming company you have to study playing their craft mainly after 20xx to whatever is seen concurrency.

Keep up the good work man!

They should have provided all their tools and source code and a darkradiant like map editor for all those who want to fully mod this bad baby , this is how the darkmod gone a game in its own right and why after nearly 20 years DOOM 3 is still playable and even competing other games like Dead Space Remake even!

PS

Does this also work in Doom 2016?

6.66 is not the number of the beast any more but the Doom Slayer's emergency phone call where 911 fails 6.66 prevails.
Eat this devil!
:)))

An option to increase the weapon FOV would be nice, otherwise everything is great

ps: I add command hands_fovScale "0.9" in file Rivarez.cfg
This is approximately FOV for weapon at 110, it worked

Great, but i would make faster rifle projecticles, and twice ammo pickup than you already made. And no zoom when using mods especially for shotgun, because it decrease sensitivity
