Last Man Standing

Well, there's finally a reason to start up Doom3 again on the comp. For starters we have the Last Standing Mod, which allows full co-op play through both Doom3 and the ROE expansion over the internet. Ping is usually great, but a few hiccups can be found here and there depending on how the server is set up(overall, it's fucking fantastic).

Then there's Classic Doom for Doom3. This is an entire remake of Doom1 in the Doom3 engine. It looks and plays phenominal, using the D3 engine to take advantage of dark corners to heighten the already awesome experience of old school Doom with a more profound sense of tension and dread. This is also fully playable in co-op using the LMS mod.

I've been hooked on this for a few days now and it seems that there is a need for more competent(ie; not a retarded 13yr old fob who joins a server, snags the ammo and runs into a pit and dies) squad of players. Hence why I've created this topic and will be providing links below. I'd love to get some massive group of Space Marine ownage going on online, and since there's almost no excuse for having a comp not able to run Doom3 now...this is a given if you're even remotely interested in either Doom3 or just a solid online co-op experience.

Classic Doom for Doom3: http://cdoom.d3files.com/
LMS co-op modification: http://lms.d3files.com/

Note: Both of these mods require that you have Doom up to date(v.1.3) for them to work.

Note2: Yes, I'm fully expecting "fuck this, I'll play on xbl instead" replies but at least the offer and links are available.

I guess it's about time I picked up Doom 3 (or borrowed it from my friend).

btw; From what I've noted, after you update D3 to v.1.3 there is no need to have the cd in your system when playing the game. This could lead to alot of people jumping on if they're too cheap to buy a copy for 19.95

Nice, they finished that Classic Doom mod (well, as finished as it was going to get). I was just talking about that last night with one of my friends and meant to look it up today. Now I just need to free up some space to reinstall Doom 3.

I'm quite impressed with the detail that went into this and hopefully they'll get even more levels listed. Now the music on the other hand, I know it wouldn't be Doom without the classic tunes, but I've grown too accustomed to the music in both psx and n64 versions. I'm just hoping somebody will add an extra mod for that some point down the line.

I'm finding this amusing btw.

I've only played the first stage of Doom 3 in over 3 years. This won't change that.

The crappy character model for the main character and the "sounds like a high school kid" voice acting really had me bummed out until I watched the gameplay.

Heck yea, that vid looked sweet (gameplay wise).

Good stuff. I've never played doom 3, this makes me really wanna check it out though, to try the mod atleast.

Yeah, the intro is done SOLEY for the point of parody and that's it. They focused on what mattered, and that was the recreation of DOOM using the D3 engine(and it pays off).

Good lord, Classic Doom looks hot. Reinstalling now.

Remember, you have to have Doom3 updated to the most current revision(v.1.3) for any of the above linked mods to work.

Ep: Go snag LMS and let us know so we can play with you on Classic Doom

Wow, that classic Doom on the Doom 3 engine looks awesome!

Amazing that after all of these years there's finally a PC game worth playing aside from the original Doom....and it's the original Doom. :p

Also: Lol @ punching a cyberdemon to death. I really hope that guy was somehow able to get laid for his efforts.

He easily did. Chicks dig PC gamers. That's the secret that console snobs never learn.

Wow, mods like that are pretty much the only thing I really love about PC gaming. That's just too damn cool.

I'd love to play some classic Doom, but alas, my computer won't even play Doom 3 with a decent framerate. Someone lend me a video card.

I'm currently playing through the ROE expansion(first time through, so it's unnerving), but if anyone wants to do some online just hit me up with a pm(or tell the rest of us in here) and we can set it up.

Damn I want that... I don't have Doom 3 tho. I could just play it XBLA...

Assuming that the rest of your system is up to par, you could probably run this game with a $50-$75 video card, as the Doom 3 engine is pretty well-optimized for lower-end systems.
