To the people complaining how it's like most modern shooters, most of the features are optional (The iron sights, the fatalities themselves, meatshields etc) I also love how it's re-energized the doom community in general, i can't even think of a doom mod that has made this much of an impact (not taking the hard work away from other doom modders, just that a normal megawad isn't gonna go and really grab peoples attention) I don't play it all the time but i play it every now and again and definitely like it, for one it's different in a good way, vanilla maps and megawads etc are a dime a dozen so i actually like to play mods that change things up (Reelism did that for me gameplay wise this year). You are a casual gamer, and is trying to play hardcore maps with hardcore gameplay mod, probably using Ultra Violence skill when you shouldn't even be playing it with Hurt me Plenty with vanilla balance!Īll other posts are based in personal taste, so, they are fine. THe problem is not with BD's balance, the problem is with you. Brutal Doom revamps the whole difficult of vanilla gameplay, it gives you a powerful starting weapon, weak points to kill big enemies faster, and actually deadly enemies that gives you a reason to always engage them and not just run and evade them.

I personaly enjoy playing the vanilla Doom 2 levels in Nightmare difficult, and I don't even need to save. Many wads such as Alien Vendetta, Hell Revealed, Doom 2 Reloaded, Revilution, and others can be perfectly played with Brutal Doom in Ultra Violence Skill. Second, you are having a bad time with the balance because you have not played enough. Also, Grandvoid hosts one survival server if you haven't noticed it. Everyone uses Real Guns Advanced or Hard Doom. Not even 10% of Zandronum coop servers uses Brutal Doom. It either turns a well-balanced hard map into a mess suitable only for infinite life coop with no tactical apporaches ("IMEGINE CHILAX WITH BRUTAL DOOM, THATS HARD" case) or turns a well-balanced easy map into a horrible map suitable for one-time playthrough ("hey let's try doom2 with it" case) for me.įirst, check your glasses. Offline it was fun for maybe an hour, then it got old. Tons of boomy sounds, visual effects all over the place and 10 deaths per minute, so playing it online makes me want to puke. 90% of players online use brutal doom for playing in coop (not survival) and just rush rush rush rush rush mindlessly.
