Realguns Hardcore mod for Doom

• Weapons - Every of the 40 weapons has its strengths and weaknesses.
  • All weapons are extremely deadly - most monsters die after several shots, but you are also very fragile (many monsters will instagib you!) - you have to kill them before they can hit you!
  • Your inventory is limited by total weapon count (this limit depends on difficulty setting). You can have two bazookas and a sniper rifle if you want.
  • Your movement speed is affected by which weapon you are holding.
  • Only sniper rifles have perfect accuracy. Also, most weapons have significant recoil, so you have to fire carefully in short bursts to make sure you don't waste precious ammo.

• Enemies - Added 67 new types of enemies (that randomly replace existing Doom monsters).
  • Variety is a primary criterion while picking up or designing monsters - I don't want just bigger and badder versions of original Doom monsters.
  • Some old boring RGA monsters were revamped to provide more variety, the ugly ones were removed.
  • Several monster types now serve as "Minibosses" to provide a difficult challenge in unexpected places.

• Significantly improved visual effects.

• Levelling and perks - You gain experience for killing monsters to upgrade your weapons and perks.
  • Level-ups are very rare, choose your reward wisely (I usually get to level 6 to 8 after Doom II playthrough)
  • You can have only one perk from each tier at time. Try the game with different combinations of perks and weapons!
  • All 11 perks with 2 levels each have unique effects with significant impact in gameplay
  • 6 pre-created classes with balanced combinations of perks and weapons.
  • Or create your own class!

• 8 difficulty levels with different weapon count limits and monster damage multipliers.

• Compatible with all official Doom IWADS, Heretic.wad and most PWADS that don't alter or add monsters nor weapons.

• Multiplayer works, though with limitations (no perks for now).
  • Bots are supported.

• Many RGA 2 bugs, glitches and annoyances were fixed.
  • Most monsters don't respawn/last stand any more.
  • Last Stand actually works as advertised.
  • Numerous weapon sprite glitches were removed.
  • Gibbing is fixed.
  • Fixed opaque muzzle smoke for sniper rifles and automatic shotguns.
  • In-game menus are much more responsive.
  • And many more!

Planned features

• Add third level for all perks.
• Improve Annihilator and Demolisher so they are not just bigger badder versions of existing monsters. Or remove them.
• Unify ammo types where appropriate (so AR ammo box doesn't add both AK47 and M4A1 ammo, but common bullets only).
