Spoiler: --== Classes ==-- (Open)

Marines: (Fighter)
Marines start with armor, pistol and some bombs. They are fast and the strongest class in the mod. People who love marines, won't disappoint.
The Marine has evolved into the most destructive soldier in existence. 'Merica!
Special abilities:
Health packs (2) - Portable HP regeneration
Wall Climb - Climb small cliffs
HPshield - Protects your HP only, slowly regenerates
Rad-suit - 100% protection from damaging floors

Engineers: (Support)
Slower, stout. Engineers are support. They can spawn ammo as well as build defenses. They have a powerful array of unique weapons they can use, like a glass cannon. However, the sentry guns are very powerful.
Special abilities:
Create - Armor, Weapons, Ammo, Health
Sentry - Spawns a random gun
Drone - Spawns a very agile drone that repairs itself. A nightmare to any foe.
HP Regeneration - Unlike the shields, this will go up to your maximum HP
Backpack - Starts equipped loaded to go

Assassin: (Rogue)
Stealthy and deadly. The Assassin uses stealth and mobility for tactical engagements. Sneaking past enemy lines the Assassin and deliver quick punishment to anything, anywhere.
Special abilities:
Cloak - Uses energy, can regenerate when standing still
Energy Shield - Keeps HP safe but very costly drains on the energy
Jetpack - Uses energy to fly!
FirstStrike -On some weapons, fire directly out of stealth!
Reaper - Starting Pistol doesn't break stealth when firing!
EMP - Deadly attack to destroy Sentries or Drones
Tatical Map - Picking up a computer map will give total map awareness (IDDT cheat)

BioTech: (Castor)
The Denizens of Hell fear the BioTech. This reaper of souls can quickly change the tides of
battle. Raising the dead or spawning his own personal army of tactical humans is his the core part of this soul reaper.
Special abilities:
Health Pack - Same as marine
Spirit Vision - See and collect wandering souls
Spawn Sprite - Wandering soul sprite will resurrect when it comes in contact with a body
Spawn Army - Spawns a random Human with large bonuses to damage and HP. The army largely
won't hurt itself.

Spoiler: --== Gameplay info ==-- (Open)

--== Elements/Armors ==--
There are 3 Elements that have been added. Ice, Fire, Heavy fire.

Fire is basically any explosion. Only one normal monster is weak to fire.

Bosses will be weak to Ice and Heavy Fire.

Barrels have been replaced with Liquid Nitrogen. They will explode on contact. Assassins collect them for special ammunition.

All large monsters will be weak to Heavy Fire. (Slugs and what not)

Armors have generally been buffed and new ones added. The Shielded armor will protect anyone from
100% damage while it has any value left. Max HP and armor is 500%

The Electronic Blast armor that the Engineer creates is resistant to explosions and zombie arms fire.
It sucks on everything else only giving 20% protection and is very weak to Ice.

The invulnerability sphere has been replaced with the Ultra Shielded armor. 999% Shield rating.

--== Game play ==--
Monsters: With improved AI, the monsters will wander randomly. This give each map a different layout each time you play and adds spice to old maps.

Weapons: All weapons reload, either automatically or manually. Every class has their own unique (mostly) weapons. There are a few weapons that are shared among the classes.

For a good time, visit Map32 in Doom II.

Ammo/Health: Explodes! 'MERICA! (Not effected by Ice)

Trees/Decorations: EXPLODE! 'MERICA!

If you are full to capacity on any ammo. You will kick it instead of picking it up.

Teleporters:
Many gun projectiles now go through Teleporters. So be careful. Ammo will detonate if you teleport
onto it(after you kicked it through the portal). Yes, you can be telefraged by a plasma shot (Not in coop).

--== Sound and Visual Edits ==--

Yes you have a full screen helm hud type thing, but you can also use the standard DOOM Hud. Choose what you want.

Lots of particle effects have been added to the Plasma/BFG type weapons.

All monsters will have a unique active sound.

Corpses will give a 'thud' sound when they hit the ground.

Most Assassin weapons are Silent.

Some Zombies are known to wake up others if the hear about you.

Mood lighting from some floors and ceilings.

kept forgetting the shortcut code!

More Screen Shots Link!

Spoiler: --== Planned Features ==-- (Open)

I would like to make this mod a lot more stable and balance this for Deathmatch and Cooperative and I'll need a lot of help to make that happen.

I'd be interested in any ideas or even dumb things to add. After all, this is 'Merica!

I planning on adding a discoloration to the monsters that are raised by the BioTech. And have them change back to their original colors when raised by an ArchVile. Like in ZdoomWars I.

I'm also planning on making player bodies resurrectable to be a monster, depending on the weapon you died with. So your fallen comrades can be raised to become your enemy.

Speaking of corpses. I'll make the normal map placed bodies of monsters resurrectable as well.

The coop skill level is a bit too chaotic and unstable right now. Something I'll need help on fixing.

Oh and less bugs.

More Explosions? But I'm not sure how that's going to be possible.

I'm going to need help with a few of these. Do it for 'Merica!

Spoiler: --== Updates ==-- (Open)

FYI: The version numbers are adding major features, the letters are bug fixes.

-Fixed the MP40 to allow the Biotech to use his abilities.
-Fixed the fists so the Engineer can't spawn troops.
-Enabled the Engineer to use his own Ammo Spawner, with diminished results.
-Friendly Rocket Zombie now only deals 15% damage to the Bio-Tech.
-Added a MR. Torque soundclip. (More to come)

I don't think players being able to destroy items would work very well online, though. It could attract griefers.
