Mostly known as a "Quake III On Doom" mod, Hunter's Moon is a mod for Zandronum and GZDoom that consists in bring the Player versus Environment experiences that Quake III Arena never had.
Hunters moon was always very interesting and unique; dragons, barons with axes, TV-mouthless Bruisers? Very cool.
There's tons of potential here but it just doesn't have the oomph I expect from Quake 3. Weapons feel like peashooters. There's not much visual feedback when you shoot anything.
Enemies from Doom 3 don't fit Quake aesthetic... why not use Strogg or hell even Quake 1 enemies would have worked.
Maps look great and are totally in line with what you would expect from Quake 3 SP but the encounters are just your usual slaughterhouses with each new area having so many enemies to kill it's not even funny.
Very cool mod and map pack
Nice!
Haha!
Awesome mod!!! I love mixing the monsters up!!!
My favorite Doom mod as far as quality, fun and effort goes. A complete TC that creates the Quake 3 campaign we have been longing for so long, completely disregarding tropes and sacred concepts for the better (e.g. the players cannot damage themselves, including being able to rocketjump without damaging yourself), and adding tons. And tons. And tons of lore. This project has been going on for almost a decade, and finally, with the release of the new Map Pack, it has more than began to show its holy fruit. While at first glance it may seem like an odd tech demo for GZDOOM, it really isn't, and the graphics are merely complementary to the experience.
Essentially, this mod is Quake 3 in Doom 2! What else to say? Well, much to say actually:
- id Tech 1 modded into a credible replica of id Tech 3 graphics!
- An extensive set of powerful weapons (including new ones) that each fulfill a distinct role, along with some inventive functionalities across the board!
- Vehicles!
- The motley crew of Quake 3 characters makes a comeback, and now they possess unique powers!
- A challenging set of enemies!
- Dedicated campaign!
- Last but not least: a fast-paced, reflex-testing gameplay, just like in Quake 3!
Highly recommended, especially for the Quake fans!
Models much too big. Gameplay impossible. The modelsize is not good for classic doom mappacks or play the original episodes. I try to resize the model by my self. Thanks for that great work.
Hunter's Moon mod doesn't accurately represent Quake III Team Arena without James and Janet characters. Nobody knows who Megan and Morgan are. Janet and James were included in Quake Live and Quake Arena Arcade. Janet and James are more recognizable characters from Q3TA. This mod is okay but I could not enjoy it as much as I wanted to. 💔
