ZDoom

I'll be sure to play through this when I get to all the WolfenDoom content here on GzDoom and Risen 3D (original WolfenDoom mods in Risen 3D to avoid out of date GzDoom versions, the original missions WolfenDoom and Lost Levels versions are good on GzDoom).

At game Warrior: If my mod is working with this it's TOTALLY random (under graphics and sound mods). Wait, Unless you are talking about the Wolfenstein TC itself working with the mod? You confuse me friend.

After playing the new 2.0 version for a bit, I've accumulated some feedback. For reference, I was playing Whispers of Satan on the "Will Of Iron Knees Of Jello" difficulty setting.

The Good Stuff:

-Visually, this mod rules. The status bar looks tight as hell (especially that ammo counter) and is easy to read. The enemies also all look distinct enough to where I can assess their threat pretty quickly.

-The weapons feel very nice for the most part. The lmg and sniper rifle particularly have nice feedback, and don't even get me started on the heat-seeker, that shit is NICE.

-I really like the scrap concept. Strangely, it's actually quite satisfying to collect all of it, especially after dealing with some difficult foes.

-Special shoutout to the armor mechanic with the enemies. Being able to break their armor, then pick up the pieces as bonuses is super cool. Though I do wish the armor pieces were worth just a little more.

The Not-So-Good Stuff:

-Sweet merciful GOD, this mod can be hard. Like unfairly so. Some enemies (particularly the officer and uberpatrol) have what feels like near-instant reaction times, which creates lots of situations in which a door opens behind me or I open a door, only to have 4 or 5 officers mag dump into my back and take like 30 health off before I even knew they were there. I would recommend either toning down their reaction time, or reducing their damage/accuracy/attack speed to give the players a little more of a chance to avoid catching a bullet.

-The spider mines are also killer. Firstly, the fact that they're completely invisible up to a certain range sucks, because these things deal immense damage and have a huge ass blast radius, which SUCKS in more chaotic situations. Secondly, as I just said their AOE is way too big. Even at the farthest range I can be at to see/shoot them, their explosion still hurts me, and killed me when I was at 11 health and like 70-ish armor. If their blast radius and/or damage could be reduced, that would make these things a lot more manageable.

-This one's minor, but the fullscreen HUD is cut off if status bar scaling is set to "scale to fullscreen."

-The heat-seeker's missile explosion radius feels a touch too high, at least higher than the explosion animation would suggest. It would be a little easier to use if that blast radius was reduced just a touch.

-The lmg won't fire if it has less than 4 bullets loaded.

Aaaaand those are the most major specific feedback points I was able to come up with! In short, this mod can be really fun and has some really stellar ideas, but it feels unnecessarily brutal and unbalanced at times. I feel there needs to be more opportunities for the player to be able to avoid damage, because as it stands, I find myself more concerned with stunlocking and killing the enemies as quick as possible to better ration my health, rather than prioritizing more lethal targets and switching between weapons to suit the situation. This means playing the mod often feels like I'm trying to scrape past each encounter with one finger on the quicksave button at all times.

But regardless, I hope this feedback helped, and I really wanna see what else you have planned because I am truly a sucker for ROTT. Good work, and good luck! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

Captain J wrote:While i agree with Whoah's feedback and was about to mention certain glitches, i still think this mod needs a lot of balancing in later difficulties. I can shrug over how smarter the enemies get. But ammo shortage problem stands mainly because enemies giving me few ammo, scraps being rare and SMG is so inaccurate it becomes the main issue of wasting precious ammo while the original RoTT didn't have that. And i think Gyrocopters need to be more smarter to detect me because they're so slow in MAP05: The Waste Tunnels.

Not hating this mod because of said issues. In fact, i actually fell in love with it. Gotta complete the love so other gamers who enjoyed RoTT could feel the same, imo.
