While eagerly awaiting the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages, fans are revisiting the classic DOOM games. Good news! The developers have resumed work and recently released an update for the DOOM + DOOM 2 compilation.
This update significantly enhances the games' technical performance and adds much more. Crucially, it introduces support for multiplayer modifications. Mods created using Vanilla DOOM, DeHackEd, MBF21, or BOOM are now compatible. Cooperative play is improved with shared item pickups and an observer mode for players awaiting revival. Multiplayer network code has also been optimized. Finally, the mod loader can now handle significantly more than the initial 100+ subscribed mods.
Looking ahead to DOOM: The Dark Ages, accessibility is a key focus. The game will feature extensive customization options, surpassing previous id Software titles. Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasizes the team's commitment to accessibility.
Players will have granular control over enemy damage and difficulty, projectile speed and damage, and various other gameplay elements including tempo, enemy aggression, and parry timing. Stratton confirms that prior DOOM experience isn't required to understand the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and its connection to DOOM: Eternal.
