Brutal Doom

Mod review

Love this mod. Adds things that make tons of sense, such as:

- Kicking
- Reloading
- Smoother animations
- Alt-fire functions (iron sights, firing one barrel at a time for the Super Shotgun)
- Dual wielding plasma rifles and assault rifles
- Advanced combat and monster behavior (for Doomguy and Monsters)
- Minor tweaks and edits (changed Arachnotron plasma to blue, Revenant torsos can crawl around and continue attacking you, Arch-Viles have horns, Imp/Infernotaur ball graphic enhancements, torch fire enhancements)
- Smart Marines
- HUGE GUTS!

Things I don't like / don't make sense:
- Pervasive cursing (though those controls can be avoided altogether...)
- Flipping off certain monsters, which makes them ****** at you. It'd be nice if when they're lowered to a certain point of health (such as halfway or two thirds of the way) that THEN they'd get ****** and fire faster and whatever.
- The Demon Strength Rune. A most useful item. But how come the monsters that drop it aren't more powerful than the rest? It makes no sense. Therefore, I demand there be a Super Imp... a mini-boss buffed Imp... which drops the Rune.

To the Brutal Doom haters, I say this:

Can you spend a little LESS time hating on how Sergeant Mark IV is such a horrible person, and a little MORE time actually critiquing the mod itself?

We're here to critique the MOD, and NOT the CREATOR of the mod. I get he's done numerous screwed up things, but that doesn't mean that the mod isn't a great mod to play.

I am a fan of Brutal Doom. Not a fanboy of Sarge. I respect Sarge and his mods, but I do not idolize them.

P.S.: If I may... weapon mods like Russian Overkill can really be improved by Brutal Doom. Watch them blow up into smithereens as only seen in the likes of mods such as Brutal Doom, and let the sky rain with the blood of your enemies... the HUGE GUTS of a fallen Cyberdemon... all with the press of a button!

Doom II

Game review

I love Doom II not because of its historical significance, but because of it's awesome "modability." So many awesome mods to play with it, like Guncaster, Brutal Doom, Project MSX, and Russian Overkill, just to name a few...
