Beautiful Doom (version 6.1.0.2)

AUTHOR HERE. I'm really unhappy to see that version 6 appeared as an update here, while it's actually quite a different mod in terms of quality and the number of features. It's been five years since previous version, so it's not a surprise.

Has it's minuses but otherwise an amazing mod at keeping classic gameplay while providing advanced scripts.

Not all it is claimed to be. Beautiful Doom in fact makes some noticeable changes to gameplay balance - purely visual upgrade this is not. On the visual side some of sprite replacements look really amateurish and bad, as do some of new effects. There are better SFX mods out there, that also don't touch gameplay in any way (stuff like Smooth Doom that can be combined with particle fire enhancer or some of loads of others compatible SFX mods)

This mod was pretty awesome back in the day. Not so much when played today. It was left in a very buggy and unfinished state, with some pretty questionable changes to base game.

For those who complain about the problems with the rocket launcher due to the shootable gibs when they have auto-aim on... if you're playing with auto-aim, then you're the one with the problem. Try playing without it for a change, it's far more fun, and you'll find that you score more hits than with it on. Anyways, 4/5 for the WAD.

Awesome 5/5

Nice, I use it with every possible mod.

Still better than Brutal Doom because faithful to the original. Please keep up the good work and do some updates !

Everything looks like it was dicked around with in MSPaint.

5/5 stars. Suggestions: edit the pistol firing speed to fire 5% faster. I had a blast playing this. its like Doom+ but without the reload. I love it. -Blox5320

mod sucks, forever

Pretty slick stuff, unfortunately some things bother me. Changing the lost soul sprite was completely unnecessary, especially when you decide to change it to something inferior. The pistol sprite looks really odd, the black gloves are ugly, and the chainsaw scraping metal sound is something that would make you commit suicide after hearing it for longer than 30 seconds. The rest is great though, I just wish I could get the amazing lamp/torch lighting that Doom Enhanced has along with this.

"to all Doomworld forum members, who dowloaded the mod and critisized me - for irritating me and this way making me continue this work." um what

It's brilliant, but doesn't work correctly with Knee Deep in ZDoom. 4/5.

its almost impossible to play doom without this mod

Why is there a 512 character limit? I can't think of enough nice things to say about this mod. Simpily put, it's one of best DooM mods of all time. Awesome job, man. 5/5. ~ Lava Grunt

Your voting it down because it doesn't work with something it was never intended to work with anyway? ok.... This mod is over-hyped, a lot of the new stuff is actually ugly, out-of-place odd, and been done countless times before, have 3/5

having to use "only monsters" for auto aim is stupid and green blood for every enemy is retarded. plasma balls look stupid and just kinda fade into the enemy, it looks weaker just by that alone

GZDoom 1.1.04? Just say “latest SVN version, get it here: http://svn.drdteam.o rg/gzdoom/“... “Shootable gibs are cool“ I disagree, it hurts you with auto aim on and using the rocket launcher, when you want to hit the enemies that are behind the gibs (but it is possible to change that in the menu)! Also: why doesn’t the blood stay? It’s like in Quake 4, it’s not good! ...Other than that it is decent 3,5/5!

very realistic5/5

The author's a dick but the mod isn't. It's rather quite nice, actually. I doubt being a Hitler even makes one's creative works automatically suck. And this is way better than "Mein Kampf." -Xaser

Very good, although the fist & the SSG reload is a bit delayed and no twin handguns. 4/5 - XxZ3cr0t3rn3rtYxX

Beautiful in the truest sense.

Last time I got this, didn't work. Did had 1.3.17, but no luck. Does work on 1.7.10. Since It worked, will have fun with this 5/5!

i don't know how Beautiful Doom could possibly be more refined at this point, yet zer0 always finds a way to make it more mind blowing, 5/5 this wad is a dream
