What is this? https://store.steampowered.com/app/769480/ProBoon/ And is even legal to sell that? Because I see lots of Doom content in the video.

I played the new Ion Maiden map and I'm torn on it. I really liked the other levels and was hoping the new enemies and guns would be cool but ehh. The flying dudes are ok but the green ones don't really do anything, and the other ones are like the floaty dudes in duke that shoot rockets. As for the new gun, I don't really see a use for it? It's so slow, and it takes a lot of shots to down the enemy that uses it. finally, there were WAY TOO MANY of the head spider things. They were fine in the other levels because they were sparse but they were dumped all over this map and it sucks. It takes too long to put a gun away and bring out the baton. Also there's a bottle of soap in the bathroom with OGAY on it and for a moment I thought I was playing shadow warrior.

Are you aiming for heads? Even on the highest difficulty all the human enemies die in a headshot from anything other than the revolver. The boltcaster is especially good at that - and at one-shotting the little headcrabby spiders. The other option to quickly deal with them is the revolver secondary fire - the lock-on almost always hits them. Crouching down and using the shotgun or boltcaster also works, because the crouch puts you insanely low to the ground. Don't try to melee them, they're a melee enemy, why would you play on their field? Also fun thing about the boltcaster - it has 3 fire modes: Singlefire, Holding Alt-fire a little bit to get a 5-bolt spread in a horizontal line - and holding down altfire until it overloads and turns into a machine gun you can't stop firing for a few seconds.

I played it again and I think part of my issue is that using opengl I have a noticeable mouse lag and 60fps doesnt feel smooth, even though it's a locked 60. Changing to classic renderer fixes the mouse lag but the 60fps doesn't feel like 60. It dipped down to 40 when some explosions went off in the outdoor area, and I'm on a decent cpu and a 1080 playing at 1080p. There aren't even any settings to tweak, and I don't remember the previous versions of this playing this rough. As for the guns, a headshot with the bolt kills fast sure but so does a shotgun, and the spider things love to hop over the bolt when I shoot at them. I'm playing on the third highest difficulty setting because the easier modes don't have enough things to shoot. I'm having more fun with the level the second time through, I just wish the performance got better instead of worse.

So if you want the bombs to home in, you have to hold the fire button until the throw gauge starts to sparkle a bit.

I had trouble figuring out the point of the crossbow too, it looks cool though. I settled on using it to head shot far away guys, its alt fire would be useful against enemies with lots of health which aren't in this map. The flying guys don't really do much except block your shots, they sort of push you out of cover.

Yeah going through the weapons we got, by the number key 1. baton 2. Revolver 3. shotgun 4. SMG 5. minigun 6. bowling bomb 7. grenade launcher which is also the shotgun alt fire? why does this have its own slot? 8. crossbow Maybe they're holding back some crazy weapon that will be fun to use. The bowling bombs used to be this but they nerfed the homing and now they're like grenades that don't go as far

So I installed the latest drivers and did a sweep of my pc for old crud and cleaned things up, now Ion Maiden runs buttery smooth. It's a lot more enjoyable like this! I went thought the new level again for the third time today. Still not 100% sold on the crossbow but maybe it's just a bad map for this weapon, everything is so close up.

I am loving the charged shot. It is great in that open courtyard, and a few other spots.

Ion Maiden needs toggles for switch-on-pickup and especially for auto-reload. In playing the new level tonight, I realized that my Y-Axis aiming was way slow. In the options, both X and Y were both set to 1.0, which is the max. I tried to compensate by lowering X sensitivity and then boosting the global, but that felt worse. I guess it might be a Build thing, to have a slow Y-Axis. I wonder why it didn't stand out to me when I played the game a few days before the update; probably because there were hardly any enemies above you in the first set of levels, and none that are flying around. But in the new level I kept getting annoyed at the Y-Axis. I thought the new level was excellent, BTW. Heavy shades of Blood Episode 2. Blood Episode 2 needs it's own sequel.

Honestly in Build games "easy mode" is hard mode, and "hard mode" is flat out impossible. Those games are all insanely difficult and I have no idea why they were designed that way.

I play every game I can on Ultimate Candyass Mode I love every fucken second of it and you can't stop me!!! That's a lie, Thief needs to be played on the highest setting for those tasty extra objectives. Blood's second easiest is the best because it has the perfect enemy count per level. I quite like Ion Maiden's balancing too, not too hard, not too easy. Although I will bitch that the spider head guys do a ludicrous amount of damage per hit. It's kind of strange because it doesn't seem like any other enemy does that much damage.

Easy mode on Blood can be the most difficult one if you play it vanilla DOS version.

People should play whatever setting they like but in the early FPS thread they do have to expect some light ribbing for playing on babby mode.

Why wouldn’t you want to use your favorite weapons from the get-go and with constant ammo? I still use cheats sometimes when playing old games I’ve never played before, because what is the point of playing those when you don’t have nostalgia and then can’t finish them?
