More importantly, this month saw a beta (many maps are still in need of polishing) release of Exterminaton Day, Brutal Doom’s own dedicated campaign. This is an entirely optional feature, but an interesting one. Firstly, if you play the original Doom 2 campaign, you’ll find many of the levels remixed and enhanced so as to better match the style of the mod. The (beta) v21 release aims to address that twice over. One of the most common complaints leveled at Brutal Doom is that by changing the core game’s balance so much, it doesn’t pair up well with most commonly played level packs, vanilla Doom 2 & expansions included.
