The DOOM community is among the most active on the planet in the mod field and, needless to say, it took less than 24 hours before it started producing content inspired by the new DOOM: The Dark Ages, just unveiled at the Xbox Showcase. More precisely, a modder, called Craneo, reproduced the already iconic shield with integrated electric saw, the Shield Saw, in DOOM. Let’s talk about the first chapter, the one developed by John Carmack and John Romero.
How the mod works
The mod does nothing more than convert the normal electric saw into the shield, adding some functions to make its reproduction more realistic, such as the possibility of throwing it to slice enemies, and then recovering it. Furthermore, holding it will work like a real shield, that is, it will block incoming shots. Everyone.
Those who have tried the mod say that it greatly alters the balance of DOOM, making it easier, given that the Shield Saw can block any type of damage. It must be said that Craneo produced the mod in truly record time and that, therefore, it is likely that he will improve it in the next few days, perhaps considering the types of damage coming and the direction of the same, as he himself explained. Furthermore, it must be considered that DOOM is a very old and well-known game, so a mod of this kind should be seen as a curiosity.
All things considered, we are talking about an excellent work that has greatly impressed the community, so much so that it has received great praise such as “The devil is fast, but a Doom fan is faster” or “the fastest on Earth”.
