Id's revival of the series last year might have given the classic Doom mod scene a bit of a boost (or at least a little more press coverage), but 2017's spree of manic activity from one of the oldest and strongest mod scenes out there was entirely attributable to the community.
The game may be 24 years old, but Doom mods are cooler than ever, democratically speaking. The masses have been heard, and ModDB's Player's Choice award for best mod of 2017 goes to Sgt Mark IV's splatteriffic and ambitious Brutal Doom, which saw a major new beta release this month.
True classics never die on PC. They evolve, grow and become stronger than you could ever imagine. Check out some of our most recommended PC oldies here.
One of the most common complaints leveled at Brutal Doom is that by changing the core game's balance so much, it doesn't pair up well with most commonly played level packs, vanilla Doom 2 & expansions included. The (beta) v21 release aims to address that twice over. Firstly, if you play the original Doom 2 campaign, you'll find many of the levels remixed and enhanced so as to better match the style of the mod. This is an entirely optional feature, but an interesting one.
