Disclaimer: while the full title of this mod does, indeed, contain the phrase "Police Brutality," it should be stated that I do not in any way condone brutal actions by police officers. This mod is a work of fiction and is not intended to glorify acts of violence by men in uniform, particularly not actions that lead to the deaths of innocents, that have been occurring in the United States for the last few decades. But if you're just here for a Doom mod... I won't stop you. -ww

It's more than just a reskin of Nazis. Really, apart from the bullet tracers, this is effectively designed from scratch, using borrowed TekWar enemy sprites to give the mod a sort of Lethal Enforcers/Operation Wolf 3 feel. Terrorists! is intended as a tribute to 1980's and 1990's action movies like Commando, Die Hard, Under Siege, Total Recall, and The Terminator. The focus here is on giving you all the tools you need to become your own Man of Action.
The feature set:
This is a Hollywood-realism mod - weapons recoil and need to reload, but that's all! No complicated magazine systems, no bandaging, no weapon slot limits.
Included weapons are cliché, but each one is made using resources that have not been seen yet in a Doom mod. (Although there is an Uzi, it is not Shadow Warrior's, for example.)
"Hostage System" replaces large powerups with civilian hostages that must be "rescued" with the Use key to obtain special items.
Off-hand melee button with two modes: Kick and Taser.
Aims to be cheesy...but *good* cheesy!
And here's a spoiler fulla screenshots!
Spoiler:
The Berducci P92 Sabre is a special edition custom handgun with great accuracy and unparalleled rate of fire. This will probably be the mainstay of your arsenal. (Thanks Mike12)
The Kuznetzov 47M is a powerful, reliable assault rifle with manageable recoil. (Thanks Necronixxus)
The Sherazi Mark IX SMG is fast and relatively light on recoil, but good luck hitting anything at a distance. (Thanks Necronixxus)
The Aartsen Slugger shotgun shoots powerful 12 gauge shells at up to 200 rounds a minute in semi-automatic fire, but it does not eject shells automatically, so reloading may take a while.
The Cooke GLP-140 is a revolutionary new method of delivering explosive ordinance up to distances of nearly 200 meters. Its 15 meter blast radius makes it great for dealing with crowds, but ammunition is rare.
And some comments from the peanut gallery.
And a spoiler fulla strategy guide stuff!
Spoiler:
Every weapon can be melee'd with using the alternate fire button.
Some weapons have alternate modes that can be accessed by pressing Weapon Zoom. Currently this includes the AMR-82 and the Black Boar.
Bind a Throw Grenade key and a Toggle Melee Mode key from the controls menu. The latter of these must be used if you want to try the taser.
Press the Weapons/Ammo/Stats popup key (bindable in Controls) to see your collection of weapons and ammo on one screen.
The AMR-82's damage does not change when zoomed or unzoomed. However, accuracy is (very slightly) reduced when unzoomed. Zooming also centers the point of origin for the bullet, so it is recommended when shooting through gaps to zoom in first.
The Black Boar is much more controllable when steadied. Press Weapon Zoom to steady the weapon, at the expense of movement speed.
Armor is extremely useful when up against foes like Dualie Dooley.
Press USE to rescue hostages. They will drop useful items.
Some enemies wear body armor and will resist pistols, SMGs, or shotguns. If enemies are making metal clanging noises and you're absolutely sure that they aren't robots, try a higher caliber weapon. (Tip: the Magnum and AR pierce armor!)

Grenades -- Level 1: Frag grenades; stronger blast radius and "nail" effect. Level 2: Electric grenades which deal large radius damage and will stun enemies that are not killed by the blast. Level 3: Incendiary grenades with full splash damage and fire effect.
Taser -- Level 1: Sets enemies on fire, does more damage. Level 2: Does yet more damage. Level 3: Chain-lightning effect (thanks Xaser!).
Spoiler:
I decided I'd start this thread up for a couple of reasons. One, so I could show you guys that don't pay attention to IRC or the WIP thread that yes, I am working on something, and two, to start a social experiment about whether my thread would get more attention if it had the word "Brutal" in the title. =P
(To clarify, this mod actually does not have anything to do with Brutal Doom, so please don't try to load this over Brutal Doom; I will not be held responsible for the effects of this.)
Hey WTF? I saw Brutal in the title and thought this was going to be something to do with Brutal Doom. I wouldn't have come here if I'd known it was just some other mod.
Seriously, this looks interesting although I'm not sure how well the photo-captured sprites work against the drawn textures. However, I know the problems that there were tracking down suitable sprites so I guess its a "use what you can get" situation. As such, its perfectly acceptable IMO.
Having mucked around with betas of this, I must say it's great fun. There's a new system in place with the enemies (that I won't spoil yet) that's simple but definitely works to make things more interesting.
Mike12 did the pistol, the Uzi and AK were by Necronixxus, and I sourced the Slugger and grenade launcher from models on Gamebanana.com (full credit is given to the creators of those models in text files inside the mod, and will be included in plaintext when the mod is released). The leather jacket hands are by Midoriman and can be found in the hands thread in Resources.
