Deathmatch Acronium Style
TheMatrixer released a deathmatch map called Acronium for Doom 3 that is designed for Resurrection Of Evil.This level takes place in a sophisticated industrial setting and compares easily to those of DOOM 3 in terms of quality. Without entering into details, "transportation" seems to be one its thematics and it's rendered in very original, amusing ways. That is all on Doom 3 Files.

I just recently got back to tweaking some Doom maps and posted some stuff about that on my site. Also I rant somewhat about games and talk more than I should, but that's what happens when your bored. Until somebody else does something in the lines of Doom stuff, go look at The Megawad and see what's going on.

Double 2.1 Released
Mausus Atlas released Double (2.1 Final) for Doom 3 (updated to 1.3 required):This mod makes the game more tense and stress-inducing by plugging lots of new features into it. There's no room for beginners and the default parameters make the game as hard as possible (it remains beatable though). The "continuous spawn monster" feature does not allow for rest either and you must always run and kill to survive because the monsters show up randomly. That is all on Doom 3 Files.
Bloodworks Review
Major Rawne geared up a review for Semetary's Bloodworks map that is designed for ZDoom / Doom 2 and here is a quote:I feel that Bloodworks is more a piece of art than an actual single player adventure - but don't let that stop you from having fun! Monsters come at you from literally everywhere so you never feel safe. Check out that Bloodworks review that is on Major Rawne Reviews.
TeamKill's Dismal Struggle
TeamKill updated thier Scourge Lunar Eclipse website with a new layout, some updated downloads, new information on thier Scourge: Lunar Eclipse project (including screenshots).

Doom 3 Chess
And now for something completely different. A guy by the name of Brain Trepaning designed a Doom 3 Chess MP mod that certainly sounds interesting:What I have released here is 12+ hours of work. The idea was to make a chess-themed DM map with static pieces, but then I decided to take it a step further to see if this concept was feasible. In a beta build, I'd make the board about 125% its present size, to allow easier maneuvering of the pieces. Go play some Doom 3 Chess!

Shotgun Pistol
If you ever wanted your Doom 3 pistol to act like a shotgun then now you can with this Shotgun Pistol mod by Cyberfreakmadness.I basically made the pistol have 18 projectiles compared to the shotgun's 14 and increased the power to 18. To make the shots go farther I decreased the spread to 18 compared to the shotgun's 22. That is all on Doom 3 Files.
A Couple Ultimate Doom Wad Reviews

Tom Hall Interview
Over on Doom Marine there is an interview posted up with Tom Hall who is currently working on one of those Massive Multiplay titles and he had a few things to say about Doom 3:It looks amazing, and there ARE some great game play elements, following the robots and stuff, but I was disappointed in the lack of use of the physics. They put in Rolling Chairs (which was in my original design), but do they ever use them to trip lasers, or sit in them to scoot over an electric floor? Nope. Take a look at that Tom Hall Interview.
UAC Warfare
Geez the Doom news is kinda slack today. So I went creeping around some sites and found this Doom 3 mod called UAC Warfare but they haven't updated since May.... hopefully they're just in hybernation as it looks promising from the available shots.
Dust2dust
Fastdeath released a single player, 2 level jobby for Doom 3 that is called Dust2dust:Dust2dust consists of two single-player levels for Doom 3. I've changed the normal d3 gameplay a bit: there are more monsters and faster action, but there will always be a way to kill them without being hurt. So you always run faster than the vanilla d3 (you don't need to sprint anymore). I made these maps to become familiar with the D3 engine and I had a great time working on them. It certainly looks cool from the eight available screenshots. That's all on Doom 3 Files.
Doom Movie Trailer On Doom Wad Station
Sematary sent in the news that he now has four versions of The Doom movie trailer available for Download. There is the high resolution quicktime movie as well as a low resolution wmv version. You can go download the trailer without 'signing up' or 'waiting in queues' so go grab that right here on Doom Wad Station.
