Doom-Version for the US Marines

Recommended Posts

Guest Crym01

Some of you may already have read (i know it sounds a bit strange :)) this article on this page:

http://www.geocities.com/matt_richter_99/ResearchPaper.html

here is a quote of the text:

_________________________________________________________________

First is cooperative mode, in which the players work together to defeat their adversaries and move on to higher levels. This mode provides a team combat experience interesting enough that the US Marine Corp used a modified version of Doom in cooperative mode to train some of its soldiers.
_________________________________________________________________


I remember some years (i think it was in '95 ... hmm, perhaps '94 or '96 ... but I think '95) ago I saw this on TV (in the news of the Austrian TV). A Marine played this modified version. And I am sure, that he had a weapon, that is not available in the original Doom Version, and this was an Electro-Shocker.

So now my question:
Does anyone know where I can get this modified version?

Description : This is the first of what we hope will be many efforts to provide an inexpensive fire team simulation to the fire-team. Set up is a demonstration of the fire team in the defense.The situation is high intensity combat-with opportunity to prosecute a follow up counter attack against enemy held positions. The intent is to provide follow on improvements and enhancements following user feedback on this initial offering...

or

The top link is for the original, the bottom is for a redo which eliminates some unessesary wad resources. AFAIK they both work the same in the end.

Doom was also used by the Australian Dept of Defence (as they spell it). Levels & graphics were created to familiarize personnel transfering to a new base. The US Navy used it in a similar fashion. There is one other, but fuzzy math is setting in.
