This is not a revolutionary mod. This is not an innovation. This is not clever, original, or thought-provoking. This is white-knuckled, hard-hitting deathmatch. This is Lightning Battle, a Doom 3 mod by ShadowMan and Techokami. It isn't our goal to make a killer app or put a twist on gameplay. All we want to do is give Doom 3 a deathmatch mode it can be proud of, and to do this, we're turning it everything up to 11. Doom 3 multiplayer, to be honest, was crap. It was slow, couldn't tell if it was trying to be intense or stealth-based, and was just rough around the edges. Why not just try to push it in one direction or the other? Doom 3 just wasn't fast or intense enough, so we decided to go the whole 10 yards and turn it into a campy, Doom 3 chop-saki. What's Done: Faster, higher-jumping, higher-health, fall-surviving characters Weapons rebalanced: fire faster, have more ammo, and other miscellaneous tweaks (chainsaw range increased).

We're a few weeks into development now, so as expected, various things on our To-do List are completed. To start, our first original map, Amphitheatre One, is finished.

We're a few weeks into development now, so as expected, various things on our To-do List are completed.
To start, our first original map, Amphitheatre One, is finished. All that remains is item placement. This map promises both open- and corridor-based action, and it also boasts a few custom textures. The geometry is simple, but with good reason; the map runs smoothly with almost no slowdown.

Secondly, the weapons are being overhauled. Fists have been replaced completely with the chainsaw, and the old slot for the chainsaw has been replaced with the Explosion Gun. The Explosion Gun fires, as expected, explosive rounds that cause small explosions. It fires as fast as a pistol but is considerably less powerful than the rocket launcher. Only direct shots will deal any significant damage. No new model has been completed, as we're still learning the ropes of 3D modelling.
A video of the Explosion Gun is featured on our website, Lightningbattle.moddb.com. The website also contains screenshots of the early builds of Amphitheatre One.
