Yep, even the DECORATE says the same thing too... That is one fast projectile indeed.

That too, but I don't like picking up a ton of it, I mostly just edited the ammo values to fall in line with vanilla Doom's ammo capacity.
I really wish this mod had vanilla Doom's ammo capacity as an option in the menu to enable/disable just like for the monsters. That's the only real serious complaint I have about this mod. Otherwise this mod is golden.
Agreed. It makes me overwhelmed with ammo i have and always feel easy to take them down. Otherwise it doesn't feel so great except you really like to hoard the ammo.
Like russian overkill. It's intentional with tons of ammo, but know what i mean.
i don't think the ammo is much of a problem, myself. yes, it's lower, but when you get too low, enemies will drop a little ammo on death so you're not entirely ammo-starved. plus, the chainsaw gives you ammo when you execute enemies, and you can damage enemies so as to conserve the amount of fuel you use on them. if the ammo caps were higher, you'd have no reason to actually use the chainsaw to keep your ammo reserves topped off, which would make you a bit too powerful as you'd easily have enough ammo to waste everything in sight.
Yeah, the dynamic of 'less ammo overall, but more ways to get ammo' works really well, in my opinion. Enemies drop ammo left and right. Maybe not always for the gun you're using right then, but for /something/. And if you have a chainsaw with fuel, you're one altfire on a zombieman away from full bandoliers.
Ultimately, I felt I could be way more liberal with ammo than usual in this mod. I felt like I could actually /use/ my rocket launcher where I'd normally be super stingy with it. because enemies will occasionally drop rocket ammo, and I can always play Chainsaw Pinata to get more ordinance in a snap.
And it makes the gameplay easier and never worry about the ammo, yeah. Point taken. But some people would never appreciate the tons of ammo drops instead of being thankful. Maybe they want to collect them all the use them as possible or play the game tactically, i guess.
Just a small update, we're not dead. Just dealing with usual autumn fuck-all coming around. For me, means back to college. Thing's aren't stopping, they're just slowing down a little.

I use the chainsaw all the time, just to gain more credits. I don't feel stingy at all about using whatever the hell I want for any situation. The only thing I'm mindful of is the BFG but that's it.
Remember kids, alt-fire's for gaining quadruple the points~! Remember to save some fuel for the really big fuckers.
That's a very nice rendition, however, I have to admit that it's rather counter intuitive. The first one where you use doom4's logo alone and colored it like doom(1) would be awesome if the mod was just called "Doom". Or, it could've been great for DOOM(2016), the game.
Regarding the "doom 4 doom" version, I just think it looks backwards. The logos in that version basically say "Doom(1) for Doom(4)", since the coloring of the "Doom" on top is definitely a "doom1" style, and then the "doom" at the bottom has a "doom4" total whiteness style to it Still, it sure looks very nice!

Man, that's just gorgeous!! Mind if i add it officially into D4D for the next release?
And about the Arachnotron recolor, sure, that'd be awesome!

You get it a 100% right!
That's was the intention all along. Much like in doom4, is not about just stockpiling tons of ammo. It's about "im running out of ammo? quick, chainsaw and refill!". And considering how "common" i made the chainsaw ammo in D4D, I indeed never run out of ammo since I avoid doing finisher csaw kills on big monsters unless they have been weakened enough to just spend 1 ammo bar, so I get the best of both worlds: lots of ammo, lots of credits
Now, for something different...
This is just a bit of doombuilder practice. I havent mapped in years, and I just wanted to mess around with this idea. Two guys from our discord channel (Maxwell & Snivyus) are doing this same thing in their own style, but instead of modifying their work, I decided to mess around a bit and see how it'd look if I did it from scratch. Then again, as I've always said: Im not really a mapper.

That's what I made them for.
Spider guy:
I pretty much just cancelled the blue in all of the purple pixels, and used light shades of pink for the brighter areas.
I had an idea to recolor these guys to look more like the spider mastermind in Doom 4 (with white legs and a pink brain). I'll test that out on one frame in a bit to see how that looks.
Edit:
Welp since this is related to Doom 4 i think this is a good place to i post a thing i did which may be useful...
Recently i've been playing with Doom 4 models and since no one found a way to reach the textures inside the MEGATEXTURES™ packages of the game due to encryption i made my own attempts of texturing them, but today i released i sprite version of the Hellknight.
Probably the next one is Baron of Hell and after him i'll probably take Pinky and done.

Also, the bullet pickup says "50mm rounds" while I'm guessing you meant to say ".50 Caliber rounds" since that's what the weapon codex in the new Doom says that's what the HAR fires. (50mm would be something like a cannon shell! Most autocannons only fire 25-30mm.)
Remember that HAR fires 12,7mm, whereas Chaingun is feed with 15mm, even though they share the same ammo type. So this conundrum needs another solution than changing millimeters into cals in the pickup message.
But neh, it's nothing important, i guess. Since doomguy is already a badass superhuman.
