I recently picked this up on Steam, so far I really like it, for me it scratches the Hexen/ Heretic itch, them being my favourite of the old FPS games. Only thing I didn’t like, the crossbow enemies are a bit OP, you can’t see the projectiles at all and they’re almost instant like a sniper, giving no chance to dodge, playing on the 2nd hardest difficulty was a bit of a pain, as soon as you pop around a corner you’ve got half a dozen enemies at least shooting the crossbows at you with ridiculous accuracy.

Anyone else played it, what do you think?

Looking for more games like the AMC Squad Mod. Thanks!

The other night I found out that wolfenstein enemy territory was added to steam so I loaded it up and played a few matches on fueldump for ol times sake.

Made me realize how ahead of its time it was. I remember playing that game on my family emachine on dial up. It was also a staple in lan parties because it was free to play so everyone could quickly install it. Severs with 32 people, different classes, fast load times, simple objectives.

Around the same time, you also had day of defeat and and battlefield 1942 which were also amazing leaps forward in the shooter genre, but enemy territory appealed more to my boomer shooter sensibilities because of the movement. The speed felt more like quake and doom. It was fast. It was also the first game I remember where there was a hit indication sound. Spraying across the field with a Thompson just had a certain satisfying feel when you’d land some shots. Clunk clunk clunk “I NEED A MEDIC”

Does anyone else have nostalgia for this game? I know some will claim it’s not a boomer shooter but I feel like it was right on the cusp and was one of the titles that helped transition to the modern age. Makes me happy there’s still a decent amount of people playing this classic.
