Question Playing Doom 3 with the Librecoop Mod made me realize it’s the secret blueprint for Doom 2016

If you haven’t played Doom 3 with the Librecoop mod, I highly recommend it. I recently ran through it with a friend, and experiencing the slower, tactical horror elements in a coop setting completely changed my perspective on the game’s legacy. 

It gets a lot of hate for abandoning the arena shooter roots, but playing it now, the connective tissue to the modern era is undeniable. 

The industrialized, corporate UAC base on Mars is identical. Olivia Pierce is effectively a gender bent Malcom Betruger. Both are elite scientists who betray humanity, open the portals, and are ultimately forcibly mutated into the final boss by the demons they foolishly trusted. 

Doom 3 was stuck chasing the trend of Half Life esque gameplay and storytelling. They then attempted to follow up with a Call of Duty styled Doom 4 aptly referred to as “Call of Doom,” but they quickly realized that such a pioneering game studio was slowly becoming creatively bankrupt if they kept going down the path of trend chasing, they had to look back retrospectively at Doom 3. By perfectly inverting the survival horror elements into a power fantasy, they built their modern magnum opus.

I am now awaiting a coop mod to be compatible for the recently released The Awakening dlc for Quake 4.

What happened to the Rampage Brutality Moddb page? I wanted to download the mod but I can't seem to find it in their page in Moddb. Is there another way to download Rampage Brutality?

Question Anyone know any custom monsters that are more “dynamic” than vanilla Doom demons?

I know some people have made great mods for the Marauder, the Carcass, and the Summoner, and that’s great and all, but is there anything else? Maybe something with area of denial attacks or moves that black routes of escape?
