BRUTAL DOOM!

 Holy fuck. Brutal Doom is an ESSENTIAL mod for Doom fans, or even fans of shooters. While a lot of you may look at it and see only added gore, this mod improves so many things that it might as well be a new game.

Sound

 First thing you may notice upon opening up the game is the new sound. Guns sound more impactful, making every shot feel better. The music has been remade. It's still the old tracks, but it's no longer midi. It's a full onslaught of METAL! On the downside, it is now incredibly easy to tell where the songs were stolen from...

Options!

 This mod gives you SO MANY options that it's almost insane. Firstly, you can improve the graphics, making the textures better, adding effects and stuff. You can also choose whether you want 3D monsters or sprites (the sprites still look badass though... I keep them on!) There are a million other options you can play around with as well, so you can change what you like and dislike about the mod.

Gameplay

 This is where the good stuff comes in. Firstly, there are new difficulty levels, which feel fair, add more enemies, change the behaviors of enemies, and so on. If you beat Doom on Max difficulty and still want a challenge, I advise you to try this. Also, the pistol has been replaced with an assault rifle. It doesn't break the experience, it just makes that weapon more viable at later weapons. The best change though, is full mouse aim. No longer do you have to use the keyboard to aim. Just use your mouse! You can aim up, down, left and right, so it's no longer just a horizontal plane of aiming.

 Then there are a bunch of more minor things. Firstly, more gore. I blood goes everywhere. It's on the ceiling, it's on the walls, it drips, and enemies just fall apart. It feels awesome! There's also aim down sites, but you can turn this on and off if you want. They also added Duke Nukem's Boot, because why the fuck not?

 There are many more minor tweaks, like headshots and what not, but in the end, all you need to know is that this is the essential doom experience. It's the best shooter I've played this year and I feel I need to tell you about it.

 Now, if you want to download it, go here. This will download all the doom games and automatically add it, so you don't have to touch a damn thing if you are unexperienced. Oh, and it's FUCKING DOOM! So it'll run on anything.

With this mod, Doom once again is the best single-player FPS around. Feels great to play, fast and smooth; the weapons kick like a mule (not really, but they sound like they do), the challenge is intense, all the new little animations and fatalities are fun to behold.  It adds enough modern touches to make it feel fresh and show the current big boys how it's done.

This is a must-play.

Damn straight! I finished Doom 1 in a day and am now on Doom 2. Holy fuck Doom 2 is like 1700000000000000000000000000000 times harder than Doom...

I have always been one of those weird Marathon guys.

Never actually played Marathon. People keep telling me to, despite me telling them I've never liked a Bungie game.

I did not really play much Doom until Doom 3 came out.  The nice thing about Marathon is that you can get it for free, so it doesn't cost you anything to try it.

I just downloaded this and.... holy crap!!! It's amazing! Doom is such a classic game, and this mod adds a whole new level of intensity. I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to the original version lol. I'm loving the boot and chaingun especially. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed it. You're right, it is damn intense, though I much prefer the shotgun :)
