| Classic DOOM Shotgun (1.0) - File Description |
 |
Description:
This is a mod that makes the shotgun in Doom 3 act more like the shotgun in the original Doom, and less like the double-barreled shotgun from Doom 2.
The rate of fire of the shotgun is increased significantly, and the pellet spread is reduced from a 22(!) degree cone to a 7 degree cone. To help keep the weapon balanced, the number of pellets the shotgun fires is reduced to 7 from 13, and the reload time is doubled (one shell is loaded per reload animation instead of two). Zombies can readily be killed in one good hit, or 2-3 average hits (depending on zombie type), while it usually takes 2-3 solid body hits to take down an imp, though a good headshot will take them down in one.
The shotgun zombies also had their shotguns tweaked to act more like yours in terms of spread (damage is unchanged). (Interestingly, their shotguns already fired 7 pellets in a 5 degree cone. They now fire them in a 7 degree cone.)

S1lentOp From: Joined: August 7th, 2004 Posts: 430 | Well that's stupid. Don't name it "Cl*****ic doom shotgun" if all it does is make it more powerful (like 10 other mods out there). If you say "Cl*****ic Doom Shotgun," people just kindof *****ume that it was remodeled
Stupid modders and their crappy names. |

I mean i care about Rate of Fire and the spread of a shotgun in the game but it doesnt really amount to anything cool unless theres a new model with it.. |
insidious420 Joined: September 27th, 2004 Posts: 3 | nowhere in the file description does the author say "new model!" he simply states this mod is making the shotgun act more like the original one in Doom 1&2, balancing its attributes accordingly.
as stated by the author and me now above, the mod is not just making the shotgun "more powerful like 10 other mods out there"...."people just kindof *****ume that it was remodeled. Stupid modders and their crappy names."--quoted from s1lentop...you know the saying about making *****umptions don't you?
you people need to learn to read. i think this is a great idea, seeing as how the Doom 3 shotgun kind of sucks in my opinion--id should have left in the original shotty and super shotty, not a crappy amalgam of the two.

MicFire999 From: (Niagara Falls) Joined: October 6th, 2004 Posts: 1349 | Okay im sure..... over 100 years in the future there gonna have a wooden stocked double barreled shotgun........ i mean really.... the shotgun in doom 3 is cool looking but the downfall is that the spread is ridiculous..... 3 feet away from a wall and the bullets scatter everywhere its like the shotguns barrel is on 1 inch long..... thats about the only thing that needs to be changed....
Eventually there will be new models.... but unil then we have to do with skins and modifications |
