Doom 3 Mods

[Sir Taffsalot]

Does anyone have any recommendations for Doom 3 mods? Ideally something that is very unlike Doom 3. I might try a shoot em up though if anyone thinks it is really good. I did play through Doom 3 when I got a few years ago. It wasn't a terrible way to spend a few hours but the whole experience was quite forgettable.

Ever tried Shambler's Castle? It is only one level, and a shoot them up, but it's fun and it's basically Quake with a more modern engine.

That looks pretty cool actually. I'll check it out. Thanks.

There's also Classic Doom for Doom 3, which is a remake of episode 1 of the original Doom. It features faster paced gameplay, more monsters, and (slightly) more lights than Doom 3 had. It is great for folks who spent hours playing the original Doom, but for someone who hasn't, it might not be so special. It does have a cool intro though.

 

Then there's Last Man Standing, which is a coop mod with unique content too. Not only can you play through the original Doom 3 with others, but you can play through classic Doom 3, and the LMS maps which have tuns of action too. You have to do things like defend a radar dish, as swarms of monsters advance, and storm facilities.

 

These were the only other two mods I ever got into besides TDM. The cancelation of Doom 3 fortress and Quake 4 Fortress still makes me sad.

If you want something unlike Doom3, I enjoyed the short but very cool mod Ruiner.

It's not entirely a departure from Doom 3 but the Serengrove map is a pretty nice survival

horror themed map in the Tudor era.

"In Hell" is also pretty cool. All the good demon killing extended, none of the Alien's rip-off stuff.

 

(Conversely) "Hellgate" take the Aliens movie vibe and amplifies it quite effectively.

 

 

Usually, I put any standalone maps into Denton Mod so that I can play them with excellent

weapon feel JC Denton configured for that mod.

Didn't someone start work on a System Shock style mod for D3, a bit like The Dark Mod? I read about it in PC Gamer ages ago but could never find out if it got anywhere.

That was called Sapphire Scar but it died...

 

Solarspace from Arx End of the Sun and Hexen EOC had copies of their assets AFAIR.
