Doom4: Death Foretold

Mod review

Seems like singleplayer was put to the side as the balancing is ******, especially on hard mode and above. They say it's "challenging" but there's a difference between challenging and frustratingly ********. Weapons rarely drop from enemies so in some map packs you're just stuck with the pistol for the a first couple of maps. This lead to staying behind corners trying to pick off basic enemies from a distance, which is the total opposite of a Doom game. So then you're looking for the guaranteed pickups but then you get a different weapon all together that usually uses the more rare ammo types. For example most SSGs are replaced with a grenade launcher or that one charge while moving rifle. Melee attacks are also useless. Don't bother with the chainsaw as you will die before killing your target. Same thing applies to the berserk powerup. Do not use it unless you like trading 50-90% of your health for a single kill

Hard and above was not "challenging" but more frustrating than anything and it was deffinately not enjoyable. I'd say avoid all and any kind of singleplayer map pack, especially Scythe and Scythe 2.
