He's talking about co-op (which I presume he just played with a second controller doing nothing), where yes you just respawn forever. Though you technically don't have infinite ammo; other than your pistol and 50 bullets the level will run dry.
Ancient Aliens is Boom, you need vastly more than dehacked to support that.
Boom support isn't going to happen simply because anybody asked. One of the key developers who worked on the original port is dead (Ty Halderman), and it's under a license that Bethesda/id Software can't reuse (Doom's original DOOMLIC license, which is strictly a non commercial license). The only way it'll happen is if someone does a complete clean room reimplementation of the specs.
It's called logistics. Doom's original netcode (that the 360 version used) is extremely not suitable for modern online play, and adding a brand new netcode isn't something you just do. They already had the splitscreen code from all the way back from the original Xbox version, so they just kept that.
Yes you are, considering everyone should know already that you can't just throw in any multiplayer maps. They have to be compatible with the engine, and they have to be maps that they can get the proper permissions sorted out for. You sure as hell couldn't just throw in Dwango5, for example. Heads would absolutely roll if that happened.
Funny you say decent, because the community standbys are actually Doom2 MAP01 and MAP07. SIGIL does also have some dedicated deathmatch maps, though that's Doom1 so you lack the SSG, which is sort of a deathmatch staple.
Just FYI, you can side in whatever you like on PC or Android, if that's what you specifically want.
I got started with PC gaming around the time Quake was going nuclear so I'm not familiar with how the Doom scene in particular worked, I'm just basing my impressions on all the excellent word of mouth I've heard throughout the years. That said, map 01 being a standby is really bizarre for me considering what I heard, though... that's the one we ended up playing the most as it was unanimously voted "least worst" among us after doing the rounds once over but even then it's just way too cramped for 4 players and the weapon variety is too limited. Have no recollection of map07 so won't comment on that but I suppose I'll check back in on it.
You can! Always have been ever since the initial BNet release, which yes is the same one that's been updated on Steam.
Well, this whole thing is a non-issue then. Was completely unaware, many thanks will look into this when I get home!
