This is a combination of three mods that wok out perfectly:
-Ballistic Weapons
-Fraghouse Invasion v5
-Unreal 1 Game (by Dots)
I sometimes write a lot, so I'll try to keep it short. Ish.
A guy named Dots (or .:..: )took the original Unreal, ported it over to UT2004, and in the process, added to / ruined it, depending on who you ask.
He has a bonus level I cheated to play, which is Doom styled. As such, he has all the enemies too (along with a plasma-gun wielding commando.)
Fraghouse Invasion has a Doom-styled map, the first one, Hangar. There's been a few different rooms added to it, which kind of stinks, as I'd prefer just a straight-up Hangar myself, but you take what you can get.
You can use the Doom Mutator in two ways: Use it to replace the Invasion monsters with Doom ones, or use it to replace the Unreal single player game monsters with Doom ones. I chose Invasion. I want to play Unreal, not Doomreal. But "Doomvasion" is quite fun.
Then I tried using the mutator to replace the FHI monsters so I could play on the Hangar map. No dice.
So I started a regular Invasion game with the Doom mutator on, then typed "open fhi-hanger-e1m1" (he spelled "hangar" wrong) and wouldn't you know it, I can play on that map...
Then I thought "Gee... the Ballistic mod can replace most of the Doom weapons, can't it?"
I figured 1920x1080 was too big to link, so when I was converting from BMP to JPG, I halved the pic size too. They're 960x540.
If you want a "true-ish" Ballistic Doom experience, you need to establish a ground rule for yourself. NO using a weapon in a way you couldn't in Doom. This means no laser on the GRS9, no laser beam mode on the E23 Viper, no bashing monsters with M763 swipes, etc. etc. If you can't do it in Doom, you can't do it here. Back in the day, our guns fired one way, and dammit, we LIKED it. Burst fire on the GRS9 is acceptable, simply because it's pretty weak otherwise.
Or don't, and just do whatever you want.
Your pistol replacement, the GRS9. No lasering his head off. Zombies fall in one hit, Lost Souls and the shotgun bitch dies in two, Imps die in three, and then the next step up, Cacodemons, take about 15-20 17. You probably won't want to use this on them, and save it for the light cleanup here.
Ah, your trusty shotgun. Even though Ballistic's shotgun can't fire clear across a map like Doom's can, it packs a bigger punch up close. Grinds Cacodemons up in two hits, anything lower than that in one. Even fairly useful against Hell Knights and Revenants, only requiring three or four. This weapon alone can take you clear through wave 6.
"I don't think I'm in Mr. Rogers' neighbourhood anymore..."
Your Chaingun replacement is, uh, well... take your pick. M50, Jackal, XMK5, M353, M925. Any machine gun that fires fast. Just don't be playing with your darts, cameras, sticky grenades, or whatever. You're firing bullets or you're not using it. Personally, I choose the M50. It's just overall got a cool model, good firing speed, and decent enough damage.
"SCHUZSTAFFEL! Wait, what?" Yup, he put the Wolfenstein SS guys in here.
Things start to go a bit pear-shaped here... in Doom the Rocket Launcher fired crazy fast (for a rocket launcher) but in Ballistic, the closest you can get is the G5, or if you want something slightly different, the BORT. Same effect, things go boom. This does more damage, I think. No lasers or mortars allowed, you're dumbfiring this sucker, if you want the Doom play. The super slow reload time coupled with the fact that it seems sometimes the rockets clip through the enemies (so aim at their feet) means you probably won't want to use this. It does do good damage though, I've killed Hell Knights in one hit. Let's see you do THAT, Doom rocket launcher!
"OMG NOT THE ARCHVILES"
You can even replace the chainsaw with the Dark Star's saw, as long as you don't fire it. "What do you get when you cross my saw and Hell's demon spawn? Food for 200 million people."
Sadly, we have to end there, as there doesn't seem to be a suitable BFG replacement. I can't think of anything. Perhaps the HAMR? But it isn't energy based... sadface. You're SOL on that one.
"FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
