TheDoomDude Posted August 1, 2019 So I'm playing through Doom 2 for the first time via Steam and I'm stuck on Map 2 at the part where your supposed to run into the brown building full of zombie men corpses but every time I try to run and jump the gap to enter the upper levels of the buildings I always fall short. Its like my doomguy just isn't fast enough to the jump the gap. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me? 0 Share this post Link to post
Chow Yun Thin Posted August 2, 2019 Hold Shift to make him run faster. 9 Share this post Link to post
Archanhell Posted August 2, 2019 Alternatively I don't know if this exists on Steam's DooM II (Or more like the original game) but there was a keybind that allowed you to keep the running button on "true" (It was a CVAR called CL_Run or something). Fix me If I am wrong though, haven't played "vanilla" DooM II since years ago, heh. 1 Share this post Link to post
TheDoomDude Posted August 2, 2019 In my one month of playing The Ultimate Doom I never knew this. Thanks guys. 3 Share this post Link to post
TheDoomDude Posted August 2, 2019 But while I'm still here I might as well ask another question. How do you enable the hud that shows Doomguy's face as well as health and ammo? 0 Share this post Link to post
vanilla_d00m Posted August 2, 2019 The plus + sign or the negative - sgin should do that. Grats on picking up doom... best FPS game ever. 4 Share this post Link to post
TheDoomDude Posted August 2, 2019 Thanks I started with the 2016 reboot. If it weren't for that I may not have given the game the light of day it deserves. 2 Share this post Link to post

I'm not sure if it can be toggled in-game, though. 1 Share this post Link to post

DecoyZulu Posted August 2, 2019 Yeah, the Steam versions are garbo. High-key recommend a decent source port. Also, this thread has become Hell On Earth. 4 Share this post Link to post

There's the joyb_speed hack, but this isn't a thing available through the setup; Chocolate DOOM though, does include an autorun toggle in its setup program, probably where the confusion arose. 3 Share this post Link to post

As most buildings are unable to be accessed from the ground level. I have yet to find any of the keycards. Also the reason I haven't responded in 24 hours is because I hit my max post limit. 2 Share this post Link to post
