Wildweasel’s made some other great mods, like the WWII-inspired Nazis! (which goes great with the Egyptian themed EPIC 2), and the action packed Diaz.

Our hero, kicking robots like it ain’t no big deal. Armed with only a pistol and the ability to kick dudes in the face, this mod adds real life weapons and enemies for you to fight in. Police Brutality: Wildweasel presents Terrorists!Įver wanted to be an action hero? Terrorists! will live out your dreams of being the next Chuck Norris. Unless stated otherwise, these are all focused on single player. While these mods will work perfectly fine with the default Doom II levels, I do recommend playing these with custom levels, or PWADs, which I’ll link to as well.

I recommend GZDoom (for Singleplayer) and Zandronum (for Multiplayer). After that, you’ll need a source port to play these. You can get Doom II on Steam for the low low price of $5. These are ones that the Doom community swear by, and are more worth your time than Brutal Doom any day of the week.Īs always, these require Doom to run. So, as a response to the article (as well as breaking my own personal rule of no lists), I’m making a list of 6 awesome Doom mods that aren’t called Brutal Doom. It’s the Doom comic in game form.Īll this does is make Doomguy look like a god damn psychopath who should be in a mental asylum, not fighting monsters. Brutal Doom isn’t the way Doom was meant to be played, it’s Doom if it was a terrible caricature of itself. Brutal Doom is usually mentioned as “the way Doom was meant to be,” but it really isn’t. The only thing it has going for it is the ridiculous macho factor, and that seems to be championed by every average dude who always writes about the Doom mod scene.

I’m gonna be honest: I think Brutal Doom is an overrated, mediocre mod. It’s amazing at first, but it outstays its welcome pretty quick. I won’t go too much into Brutal Doom as it’s made the internet rounds everywhere over the past couple of years, but it’s championed as the “definitive way to play Doom,” with more gore, violence, Mortal Kombat-style fatalities, even a key that’s simply dedicated to flipping off enemies. Even Just Cause 2: Multiplayer Mod, where you could go crazy in the world of Just Cause 2 with hundreds of people, made the list. A recent list, “ 6 Awesome Hacks That Did Mind-Blowing Things With Old Games” featured some cool stuff like Iron Man or the Incredible Hulk in Grand Theft Auto IV, or the entirety of The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind in Oblivion‘s engine. One particular list article by Cracked irked me considerably.

Seriously, this is what Cracked is now. Remember when they actually wrote parody articles? Probably better than “11 Amazing Things You Didn’t Know About Your Pants,” anyway.
