An addon that decreases ammo and armor from pickups in the In Hell campaign in order to provide a more tense and challenging experience.
Hardcore Perfected Doom 3 - In Hell Campaign
One of the major problems with vanilla Doom 3 was how much dang ammo was just EVERYWHERE. This addon seeks to rectify that problem. All ammo collected from items and weapons has been greatly decreased, and
armor pickups have been moderately decreased. The Soul Cube's alternate fire modes have also been disabled in order to provide more of a challenge.
Medkit levels have been left as-is, because this mod is meant to be played on Nightmare mode, where there are no health packs, only health terminals. For this addon, the ammo pickups for the plasma gun, chaingun, and rockets have been further reduced from the regular Hardcore Perfected Doom 3.

WARNING: This addon is meant to be played on Nightmare mode and has only been tested on that difficulty level. It will work with other difficulty levels, but the medkit health amounts have been left alone, so you may find it too easy. Also, this addon is balanced for the In Hell campaign ONLY. Do not attempt the Doom 3 campaign using this addon, or you will run out of ammo so much that you will not be able to complete the game, especially on the custom hell levels!
One final warning is that you WILL need to find 100% secrets on at least the first few levels of this addon, or you will run out of ammo so much that the game will become extremely difficult. Play through the In Hell campaign without this addon first so that you know where the secrets are, and then try this addon.
Nice work. You just made this campaign overkill. :)
Thanks! (I think. XD) Hopefully it didn't turn out to be TOO difficult. I was still able to beat it, so it is doable. Next, I will need to make a hardcore ROE.
To anyone who might be wondering, the screenshot shown is indeed taken while playing on Nightmare mode. The reason there are medkit bars is that the secret backpacks give you medkits, so you end up with some medkits even on Nightmare mode. And Perfected Doom 3 doesn't have the Nightmare mode health decrease, so that's why the health is at 100 instead of 25. There is a tutorial that VGames kindly made in order to enable the health decrease, but the lower amount of ammo and crazy amount of damage that the demons already do on Nightmare mode should make the difficulty high enough for you even with 100 percent health. :) Armor is also pretty scarce in this campaign, so that further adds to the difficulty.
