Modders Bring DOOM Weapons to Original Doom

Modders Bring DOOM Weapons to Original Doom

A group of modders – some brilliant, dedicated modders – are endeavoring to recreate the 2016 version of DOOM in the original Doom. The project is appropriately titled DOOM for Doom . The recent and unexpected success of DOOM has brought with it a revival of fandom, and that revival is behind several incredible projects. You may have already seen, for example, this toy chainsaw running Doom 2 .

DOOM for Doom is a little more ambitious in scope, but there’s a great team working on the project. Thanks to a particularly gifted modder who goes by the name “Neccronixis” on the ZDoom forums, several of the newer weapons from DOOM have been lovingly recreated in low-res form and are running perfectly within the framework of Doom 1 & 2. In the video below you can see the machine gun, combat shotgun, plasma rifle, and gauss cannon tearing up some familiar foes. Even the BFG makes an appearance. Everything seems to be running smoothly, and the team is confident that DOOM for Doom will be ready soon.
