I also use Freelook + Autoaim in Duke3D though the implementation is not ideal. Besides, that's how most levels we designed and tested.Īll that being said I do prefer the opposite setup in Quake where I always use Freelook and always disable Autoaim to allow for a better sense of control over the game. Yes on occasion the Autoaim can be a hindrance but the majority of the time it allows me to focus on a larger number of monsters from a multitude of directions and at varying elevations. It's one less control to account for allowing a less cumbersome twitch play style. Fast paced Robotron/Smash TV/Geometry Wars from the first person and with level design.

If you're playing a ZDoom map balanced with that in mind it's all well and fine, on vanilla/boom maps it makes a sizeable difference though, sometimes to the point of turning difficult encounters into snoozefests.īesides, if freelook didn't give any sort of advantage, why would anyone use it ? Immersion ? I doubt many people play Doom with walking only and never strafing because running so fast wouldn't be realistic.ĭoom feels more like 1st person Robotron than a modern FPSĮxactly. Without autoaim, height variation, demons and lost souls are almost irrelevant or at least much weaker not to mention traps specifically designed under the assumption the player has autoaim on.

As you said yourself, freelook allows you to aim where you want to aim all the time. I honestly don't understand your second sentence.
#DOOM 2 FREE AIM MOD#
The mod counts with 9 weapons, besides the fists, a knife, bandages and the Classic BFG that remains unmodified. It forces the player to act in a tactical way even in relatively easy maps, having to aim for the head to save ammo and administrate the inventory. I honestly don't see how freelook breaks anything as long as autoaim is turned completely off. A mod with a bit high difficulty, less ammo, health etc. You can also buy this in a bundle on Steam, where you can get Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Final Doom, and Master Levels for Doom II at 14.99. On Steam, Doom II can normally be found at a price of 4.99 (unless there is an ongoing sale). Same goes for aiming where I fucking want to aim, as opposed to having my rocket be at the complete mercy of an automatic targeting system. Answer: You can find this game nowadays on Steam, a popular program used to buy games digitally.
