Everybody make sure to read the README. It has something about saved games while using the mod. According to it, its best to use when starting a new level. I tried it, looks good.

I don't understand why anyone would want to use this mod. The whole point of DoomIII is to be scary and suspensefull isn't it? It's scary as [-peep-] to be going down a hall and it go dark, have to switch to your flashlight, see or hear something come, switch back to your gun, and battle it out in semi darkness.

Honestly I find the flashlight switching thing not to be so bad, and works nicely for the atmosphere. Not quite bothered personally.

No interest in using it personally, but have to have some realism in games, you'd think a marine in 2145 would be able to handle attachign a flashlight to his gun same way we've been doing for 20 yearsor so even now

What ever am I going to do without your respect? I need it like a fish needs water.

Well, the use of this mod is basically for the same reason why anybody would require a gun rather than a knife/chainsaw in a game like doom3. I am doing without it bcos i think its buggy, its goes on and off. I still love the game as is though its not cheating when using the mod as others say. If you call this cheating then stop using anything other than the chainsaw or else u r also cheating.
Well i guess this is why certain reviews online have rated doom3 gameplay <9. Its logically incorrect to be living on mars without guns or helmets with lights.

<A HREF="http://www.fileplanet.com/section.aspx?s=99111&v=0" target="_new">Heres</A> is a list of Doom 3 mods. They are more for multiplayer action, like the Fight Club Mod. I cant wait to box around people in the multiplayer.

Um, your logic is messed up. Why is using a gun cheating? You smoking the green stuff?

well, all i wanted to say, anything that makes the game a BIT (only a BIT) easier cannot be considered cheating. its still scary with the flash light (which is only on 1-2 weapons). A game that looks/feels good without compromises such as flash lights with guns, is a really EXCELLENT game. And Doom 3 misses it by a mark. But whatever, its still really good and i love it.
No i wasnt smoking green stuff, i m out of it. But i did play the game 2 days ago after gulping 10 beers, and after that i wanted to play doom in real life.

BTW I believe DH was being sarcastic to you Priyajeet. That's his style of posting anyways.

I'm guessing they have gotten so advanced they forget about old fashioned fully functional items like ducttape and glue hehehe.

Or maybe on Mars these things have problems working?

Bah what am I talking about, even screws would do do the thing. Unless the whole place is made without screws?

:eek:

DUM DUM DUM! :wink:

Well I think that the game should have had weapons with integrated flashlights but never was, to promote the spook. Ill try it later but right now I just got my right mouse button to quickly switch between weapons and flashlight.

Speaking of the devil, PATCH HERE!! Every bloddy time I use the PDA, consoles, or go into a new level it seems to loose my quickswitch from light to last used weapon. This pisses me off when I get ambused.

I think they figured that the LED displays on the guns provided adequate lighting in a dark area so they did away with gun flashlights altogether! :lol:
