Hello. I have the Xbox 360 Doom/Doom 2 ports downloaded and I currently play them on my Xbox One.  Is there any way I can download the TNT/Plutonia episodes for free or do I have to download the latest Doom/Doom 2 ports?  

Thanks

I hope you're aware that this is a Doom 2 mod. It's nice and quite popular.

I'm aware

Sorry if this has already been mentioned

Not mine, but I think he did a great job

What's his name did this on Ultra Nightmare, but with only grenades and a pistol.

Was it Zero Master?

I just got the game today and I'm only on the second level, so my opinion is early so to speak. Anyway, what percentage of classic vs new DOOM do you feel this game is?

My current opinion: 40% old DOOM/ 60% new DOOM

It seems the game (early impression) is a bit arcadey. It's fun, but it is lacking some old school elements. I do miss the old school former humans/zombie men/chaingunners. I think the imps are cool though. I also feel the game is lacking the catchy music that loops throughout each level. These are just a few things that come to mind.

Topic. (One thing from the classic series)

Curious about your favorite and least favorite doom song is in each Doom and Doom II. I'll have to get the names and list mine.

Topic

Which classic maps are included in the game?

1. Are key cards as prominent as they are in the originals? Do you need them to beat every level?

2. Is the Baron of Hell more of a boss type character or do they appear frequently during gameplay?

3. Are there any hanging bodies/impaled bodies in the levels?

4. Besides the UAC lab/foundry and Hell type levels, are there any other types?

Thanks all

Count me in

It seems like the shotgunners, zombiemen, and chain gunners aren't really being incorporated into the game as much as I thought. There were hoards of them in the originals and now they seem sorta like filler material in the new Doom. Chaingunners were always a challenge, especially in numbers. I hope they use these guys effectively in the new game

I'd say they could milk about two gallons.


Sorry for that one

Thanks for the help guys. The TNTCOMP command fixed the issue

Hi all. I'm stuck on map 25. Please see below from doom wikia. When I turn on linedef trigger model, it doesn't fix the problem. Do I have to turn it on and restart the map? I'm using GL boom plus. Thanks


Boom, PrBoom, PrBoom+, the Eternity Engine, and ports in the ZDoom family alter the behavior of Shortest Texture floor. This affects the linedef (1289, Type 30 - W1 Floor Raise by Shortest Lower Texture, Tag 26) tagged to sector 274 in this map, which relies on the original engines behaviour to function properly. Triggering the line with a port that has altered this behavior will cause sector 274 (a teleport) to rise to its upper side, preventing the player from entering it. Fortunately many of the above mentioned ports feature compatibility options to restore the original engine's behavior in this circumstance. Users of PrBoom and PrBoom+ must turn on "Use exactly Doom's linedef trigger model" and Eternity players need to toggle "Use Doom's linedef trigger model". Starting with version 2.3.0, ZDoom automatically detects the correct compatibility settings for this map, if using an earlier version of the port the option to set is "Find shortest textures like Doom."

I just found out the Baron of Hell and Hell Knight are an estranged couple

- Watching any enemy take down a cyber demon
- Rocket blasting big groups of zombiemen/shotgunners
- Eacaping the arch ville blast last second
- Watching annoying pain elementals explode

Pain Elemental and Revenants

Some tough, but good ones

Alien Vendetta
Hell Revealed (1 and 2)
Scythe
Going Down
Sunlust (currently playing this one)


There's plenty more, but I can't remember them all

I'm no tech guru, but I've been playing wads via GLBoom+ for awhile now. The graphics are crisp, but the lighting effects are always so bright. I'm guessing this is a default setting? Is there a setting I can change to have the lighting mimic the actual presets of the map (with darker more atmospheric lighting). Thanks

E3M1 is just messed up. You start off in a ruined put of rotting trees with a red sky above. To get to the shotgun you have to run through an invisible wall with bloody altars. Just before the exit, more altars. And to leave the map you step into a floor of satanic images. Sets the scene for the rest of the episode.

True true, but for some reason I always hated that map. Never liked the design or colors.

To this day I still get tense if I'm playing a map and a cyber demon comes around the corner blasting away. And I'm nearly 30. Lol

It' is Christians hell. On E1M6 there is a hidden room with a Bible and it explains that it is indeed A Christians hell

What do you think are the creepiest maps and/or sections of maps in DOOM? My choices have a lot to do with nostalgia since I started playing when I was 6 years old, but here they are:

E1M2 - the strobe light maze area. It's dark, eerie, and it occurs early in the game

E1M5 - the music alone is creepy. And the opening with the big acid pool is haunting IMO

E1M8- again, the music is depressing and eerie. The map itself is dark and feels "empty"

E2M4 - Deimos Lab - for some reason, this map just stuck out. Maybe it's the music or level design, but it's creepy

E3M4 - House of Pain - I remember thinking it was a torture chamber and all the dead bodies, etc. hanging from the walls scared me when I was young. Plus the bloody walls didn't help

Doom 2 didn't really have many creepy maps IMO.
