Halo mod for Doom?

[Sayla Mass]

Is there such thing as a mod for Doom where the levels are designed like areas from halo? I think it would be a dream come true to kill doom demons in areas that have the same shape as the levels from halo.

what is that specific "shape of levels from Halo", could you give example, like a link to screenshots or video?

if OP means halo 1, there was a lot (and i do mean quite a lot) of room-over-room in halo 1. if you break that game down geometrically it's a lot of the same or similar floors pancaked onto each other vertically 3 to 5 times.

there was also a lot of vehicle-emphasizing pseudo-RTS map geometry, and large pieces of moving level geometry like gondolas and the scarab mech-tank thing you're expected to board and ride, or that space station in halo 2 where the level is a gun that's firing and reloading as you walk around it in zero gravity. like how do you even translate stealing an enemy aircraft into id tech 1? heretic levitation?

marathon levels generally do not resemble halo levels. i might be wrong on this, but i wanna say somewhere around 0 of the halo level designers worked on the marathon series. the only things marathon really shares with halo is the floaty momentum-y physics and having military grade LSD fractal nut-bar lore.

that's not to say OP should avoid marathon, but if you go into marathon expecting its map design to be anything except a series of esoteric hazing rituals and jefferies tubes, you're going to be disappointed.

I'm talking about a rebuild of Halo as a Doom mod.

[Sayla Mass]

I'll try the marathon option and see if it's similar.

[Sayla Mass]

No, sorry but the marathon game isn't the same thing. On the bright side, I highly recommend the Star Wars mod for Doom.

[benakenobi]

the Marathon isn't similar at all, not the gunplay, not enemies behaviour

[Captain n00by]

There is, search the user uploaded mods, there's one with Halo weapons.

What's so special about levels in Halo?

I love halo and I love doom, so why not combine the 2? There might be a doom mod for halo that I don't know about, so I'll check in on that

omg, and the other guy said you can't do vehicles in doom. Thank you for proving my point with this. These are fun mods for Doom

That's not the doom engine.

yeah, it's a large marathon 3 mod that's further reworked using the aleph one source port. pretty sure this version is from the mid-00s if not the early 2010s. for better or worse, it's one of the only examples i go to mentally when i think of attempted vehicle implementation in this kind of shooter.
