I kinda helped with this. The weapons, items and enemies were taken (with permission) from my Aliens TC Remastered mod I made a few years back. Which basically I updated while keeping the original levels intact, I also added Predators and Combat Androids to the levels too, and added a faction system where all 3 will fight each other if enountered together. Its somewhere on the Zdoom Forums. I go by Ben2k9 on there.
Amazing Mod. Hard to believe that nowadays big game companies like Gearbox are unable to make a game as atmospheric, terrifying, or high quality as someone modding Doom.
I managed to beat through this mod without cheating, but I will say that the most egregious sin is it doesn't clearly indicate where your objective is via the map or the dialogue bits. I spent like 30 minutes longer than necessary on level 2 because I didn't see that tiny door in the back of the control room you're supposed to go through after hitting the switch. Other than that, great experience!
This is possibly my fav Doom mod of all time. Love anythin Xenomorph related but the mod guy got the ALIENS atmosphere down perfect with this one. Ive been watching all the films starting with the classic 79 original. Love the horrific, creepy environments created. Cosmic horror inc.
Damn this is the most impressive mod I’ve seen. I’m whistling the motion detector sound effects faster and faster for you when in combat with the xenomorphs
I beat the mod without cheating :D. I did have to quick save a ton in the very end though. Oh god... I see there's a 2014 version. Gives me reason to replay it. Challenge accepted. I kinda wish there were way more aliens but that they died easier like in Alien vs Predator Gold(which is where most of the sound effects are from). It was so satisfying to pop hordes of them instead of the tediusness of unloading shotgun shells and pulse rifle mags into a single alien.
No worries about the sickness, get better soon! Only going to give one suggestion this week... and a lazy one at that. :P Chex Quest 3, just the fact that it exists deserves coverage I think but it's also genuinely well made and deserving of the cacoward it got.
Excellent mod. A lot of hard work and dedication went into this. Love games that kick my ass.. My only complaint with this mod the Xenos could look a bit better..but other than that well done.
He hasn't done LoS yet? But... that has the best Doom gun ever! Aside from, ya know, awesome levels, custom enemies, a remixed arsenal, some tweaks to gameplay, an epic bossfight at the end...
Wonderful commentary and really enjoyable to watch. This particular mod looks a lot of fun. Though I suspect the ragequit would be strong with me too. Thanks so much icarus. :)
You are soooooo right about this mod. It's extremely hard - like if it was set to nightmare by default. And no it's not just you being bad at playing this mod. I've seen many walthroughs of that mod but none completed, i wonder why :P Seriously that mod is almost like a Dark Souls game, it's expected to die often and it's not because the player is bad. Once again good video, i can't get enough of those mods so keep it up :D
gotta say, I like your videos! You can be critical without being a killjoy. You usually rise good criticism whilst giving credit where credit is due. Subscribed!
I think its ok for games/mods to sort of suggest a certain playstyle, but I agree it can't be the way it is in this mod. Because, I agree, there is nothing obvious to the player to indicate which works, other than iddqd.
There was another Aliens Colonial Marines but I think it was a TC. It was in Spanish last I remember. Edit: I just found out it was an older version of this. A 2007 demo.
Have you showcased CHOOK Doom on this channel yet? Its a Doom 2 mod that turns Imps into chickens and the regular BFG into a Shoulder-Mounted Minigun of sorts that shoots eggs, among other changes. I'd recommend looking into it if you haven't already.
Really awesome work was put into this mod. But I think that there are some problems. There's some serious imbalance with how OP the aliens are. The shotgun is too weak. You can't reload the pulse rifle whenever you want, so you have to reload once your clip is completely empty (in the middle of combat). Specific areas (like the rec hall) are hard to find (especially with so many Aliens coming at you). A huge number of Aliens infinitely spawn wherever you are. Overall, I recommend it, but it would have been better if there was a difficulty setting.
Did it on stream :D www.twitch.tv/majorfoley/v/53506592 Theres about 10-15 minutes of black screens at the start because of hotkeys due to obs being a bit of a dick. Never set hotkeys but OBS thought otherwise I guess. Anyways Some sections were really testing my patience, and I spent a lot of time on level 1 because when I kept reloading a save I forgot to push a button. Other than that level 2 was kinda smooth sailing till the end... Then I figured crap the exit was right where the satellite starts... 3rd Level was probably the most annoying enemy wise, too much close quarters. 4th Level died once but that's because I missed the 2nd room full of ammo. Other than some more rage inducing moments, I enjoyed it
This is why I love Doom 1 & 2. Modding. It's crazy how many mods there are. It's why I'm disappointed with Doom 4 not supporting mods outside of SnapMap. SnapMap is just a console-dumbed-down level editor that can only create indoor areas.
+MegaKosan Let's hope they change their mind after the release. If many people ask for it, it's a chance that we get to mod it like we want. I guess they will wait to see what people think of doom 4 and see what they want in updates.
+MegaKosan Hopefully it's just a matter of time, i like the fallout series but doom and the elder scrolls are more fun in my book. Still as it stands i'm still excited for Doom 4, it looks awesome. I will probably play it for a while before considering mods. Still doom mods is one of the Major reasons why the classics are still popular, there are so much great stuff out there like prodoom, complex doom and many more.
Hey icarus, use in some future Gameplay, the Mod Weapons of Saturns who adds new stuff like a Brutal doom...buts of curse haves a such unique stiyle. Check out
Hmm, i feel like this mod could use some better weapon sprites, i don't know they look too soft in comparison to the environment, other than that, looks like a great mod for sure, and a way better game than that unpolished piece of crap that was Gearbox's Colonial Marines, i'm glad that the Alien franchise got the awesome Alien Isolation after that mess. Also Icarus, about wad suggestions, i've sent you a private message through youtube, check it out ;P
+Andrea “Batandy” Gori Agree with you but it's a fairly old mod and when it was done there were practically no sprite to use and the author had to made his own if i remember it correctly.
It actually says that you playing the Gearbox Aliens and not Doom >:D Stupid youtube :D edit: And the guns look like they are riped out of the Playstation Alien game :D
I got this to launch on my system, menu options are good, but when i try to play it, it's choppy as hell. What kind of resources does this need to run properly? I have an AMD quad-core with 4G ddr3
playing trough it yeah the many ragequits are real. im stuck in level 1 for well 30-40 mins easilly and im stuck as fuck... its very not obvious where ur supposed to go. other than a message telling me a while back to get the fuck to med bay.
Go to the ZDoom Forums "Projects" page.You will find the best mods there. Also, get away from ModDB. You wont find anything good there, you will just find bad mods like Call of Duty mod and Brutal Doom.
The funny thing is that DooM was originally going to be an Alien game.
Funny how that works out.
Oh? Now I'm intrigued. Also, watch your 6 Doomguy.

You wanna create some more sprites?
Renegade Great work, I have to check this out. Is this a megawad? I‘m surprised by the lack of actual Aliens content in the Doom modding scene.
Nice job homie. Respect.
What... Predators?!
Now I have to download that ASAP! :)
@Renegade666
I couldn't find the user Ben2k9 on Zdoom forum...
Could you send me the link there for this Predators addon?
Better than that pile of Gearbox crapola.
i liked Acm but ok
Ranger Flash me too
Amazing Mod. Hard to believe that nowadays big game companies like Gearbox are unable to make a game as atmospheric, terrifying, or high quality as someone modding Doom.

Reminds me a lot of Alien: Trilogy, awesome game.
I thought the exact same thing
Cacyademonenom same sprites
There's something i really like about those old shooter engines. It might be the simplicity of the 2d sprites in a minimally 3D map.
This is possibly my fav Doom mod of all time. Love anythin Xenomorph related but the mod guy got the ALIENS atmosphere down perfect with this one. Ive been watching all the films starting with the classic 79 original. Love the horrific, creepy environments created.
Cosmic horror inc.
You can really tell the modders spent time and love on this mod.
Damn this is the most impressive mod I’ve seen. I’m whistling the motion detector sound effects faster and faster for you when in combat with the xenomorphs
I remember playing this. I am no marine. Couldn't even get as far as you. Hope you feel better soon!
im proud to say that i play this shit, and complete it... was a real goal for me.
awesome mod, have gotta try 2 finish this without cheats.
I beat the mod without cheating :D. I did have to quick save a ton in the very end though. Oh god...
I see there's a 2014 version. Gives me reason to replay it. Challenge accepted.
I kinda wish there were way more aliens but that they died easier like in Alien vs Predator Gold(which is where most of the sound effects are from). It was so satisfying to pop hordes of them instead of the tediusness of unloading shotgun shells and pulse rifle mags into a single alien.
This is a great mod for doom. I hope someday the creator of this mod will provide more new maps with same style.:)
Y'know what Icarus, challenge accepted
Get well soon!
AH! KAKO DEMON! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Check those corners. Check those corners!
No worries about the sickness, get better soon!
Only going to give one suggestion this week... and a lazy one at that. :P Chex Quest 3, just the fact that it exists deserves coverage I think but it's also genuinely well made and deserving of the cacoward it got.
Excellent mod. A lot of hard work and dedication went into this. Love games that kick my ass.. My only complaint with this mod the Xenos could look a bit better..but other than that well done.
Great WAD. Very atmospheric and difficult. I hope you get around to reviewing Legacy of Suffering. It's pretty fun!
He hasn't done LoS yet? But... that has the best Doom gun ever!
Aside from, ya know, awesome levels, custom enemies, a remixed arsenal, some tweaks to gameplay, an epic bossfight at the end...
And the soundtrack (I know it's from painkiller). My only complaint about it is that there's not enough ammo in some of the levels.
You sound a little American when you have a cold, lol
This remindes me to Alien vs Predator 2.
Pretty neat game.
Wonderful commentary and really enjoyable to watch. This particular mod looks a lot of fun. Though I suspect the ragequit would be strong with me too. Thanks so much icarus. :)

Once again good video, i can't get enough of those mods so keep it up :D
Nah Dark Souls is because the player is bad, this is just frustrating
gotta say, I like your videos! You can be critical without being a killjoy. You usually rise good criticism whilst giving credit where credit is due. Subscribed!
Happy 5,000 subscribers!
Love your mod showcase videos. Subscribed
Need to try this one for sure.
Pretty sure the flares are to distract the xenos.
I think its ok for games/mods to sort of suggest a certain playstyle, but I agree it can't be the way it is in this mod. Because, I agree, there is nothing obvious to the player to indicate which works, other than iddqd.
The right way to play: Play three times, not more, not less. Ragequit every time. Then the fourth time you press IDDQD and you win tge game!
8:10 So what you're saying is that you should fire in 'short controlled bursts' then :P
you should do a review of boss battles, its a fantastic mod with beautiful map design and shit ton variety of enemies. one of my favs
This would be great in VR
BIG ANGRY BLACK XENOMORPH?!
THAS RASISS!!! REEEE

Id love to see Zen Dynamics or Cold as Hell
I was sitting at my pc just waiting for you to upload. I hate you. Pls stop making these awesome videos.

Gratz on 5k subs man xd
то чувство,когда мод в 10раз лучше оригинала

jimmies: confirmed rustled.
If you haven't already you should try the "Unloved" mapset
This is why I love Doom 1 & 2.
Modding. It's crazy how many mods there are.

SnapMap is just a console-dumbed-down level editor that can only create indoor areas.

zippo71111 The sad thing is that they really push modding with Fallout 4.
No love for DOom :c

zippo71111 Yeah
+MegaKosan I don't recall them saying anything about mods on pc being dumbed down to maps only. Either that or im just out of the loop.
Getting killed by your own century and rage quit 😂
Oorah to ashes!
Hey icarus, use in some future Gameplay, the Mod Weapons of Saturns who adds new stuff like a Brutal doom...buts of curse haves a such unique stiyle. Check out
I would love to play that in coop
You know what i use paper sheet for ? Wiping my ass after i shat. Come here xenos xenos xenos !...
better than the original
Would love to know what where the first 10 mods for Doom ever made...
O.O i love alien, i love doom and i love hard wad
10:54 There's a simple way without cheats, choose an easier difficulty.
u cant pick... its default
Can you check out "Don't play with hell - Black edition" Please? It's an awesome mod.
I think they have updated this to have the avp2 pulse rifle.
You're always finding such great mods for us Doom fans, I'd love to make something as great as this.
there is a fart in the beginning of your video
BIG BLACK xenomorph
Yes
I wonder if there'll ever be a Kirby mod for Doom.
Can I suggest you checking out the Psychophobia mod for Doom II?
Hmm, i feel like this mod could use some better weapon sprites, i don't know they look too soft in comparison to the environment, other than that, looks like a great mod for sure, and a way better game than that unpolished piece of crap that was Gearbox's Colonial Marines, i'm glad that the Alien franchise got the awesome Alien Isolation after that mess.
Also Icarus, about wad suggestions, i've sent you a private message through youtube, check it out ;P
+Andrea “Batandy” Gori Agree with you but it's a fairly old mod and when it was done there were practically no sprite to use and the author had to made his own if i remember it correctly.
+Ace Acer the weapon sprites are from a game called alien trilogy, was on PC, PS1 and saturn, pretty good too
i have the big box version on pc but i never got it to actually run :o
Yeah, Alien: Isolation is a great new movie in the franchise! It's too bad we haven't yet had a good game in it, though.
There are other Doomers out there who can cover your mods. By the way, the sprites are fine.
It actually says that you playing the Gearbox Aliens and not Doom >:D Stupid youtube :D
edit:
And the guns look like they are riped out of the Playstation Alien game :D
kcuF dniM it's like confusing a gold nugget with a turd.
So ICARUS I gone ask you again.Are you going to do a mod review on DoomRL Arsenal?
+Cybruiser57Péter I'll get around to it eventually, it's a complex mod in terms of what you can do so i'm taking my time with it.
+Colonel Commissar
check his channel out. He made a video about it.
"Get started whit GZDoom"
Check Out Brutal Wolfenstien
idk why but its kinda glitched for me i cant switch weapons without losing the pulse rifle and shotgun :(
I had to IDDQD my way through this mod.
I actually beat this pretty easy on the hardest difficulty.
Do a review on the Chosen TC mod for doom 2.
The frame rate is terrible in the beginning for me unless I turn the rain off.
Why those turrets dont shoot him when he goes around them? How come they only shoot the xenomorph?
I heard Gearbox made a shit version of this.
You should do AvP By endless and jdredalert
Does Total Biscuit know you stole his voice?
"Thought." The word is thought.
you have to play ths one with low brightness
help! i cant get flare lights or sky texture on
I got this to launch on my system, menu options are good, but when i try to play it, it's choppy as hell. What kind of resources does this need to run properly? I have an AMD quad-core with 4G ddr3
Can you play Doom Center?
Can you combine this with Russian Overkill?
does this work with Project Brutality or no?
playing trough it yeah the many ragequits are real. im stuck in level 1 for well 30-40 mins easilly and im stuck as fuck... its very not obvious where ur supposed to go. other than a message telling me a while back to get the fuck to med bay.
Icarus you do know the cheats of the console: "resurrect" and "god"?
Better than Colonial Marines (2013)?
Iam crazy or this is a Re-upload of a previous video?.
+DieHard300 he covered 3 other alien mods
+DieHard300 do you know the names of other alien mods.
NexusCool1 "Aliens TC(total conversion)", "Aliens:The Ultimate Doom" and the one of this video are the only three I know.
Where do you get all those mods from? When i type in Doom 2 mods the only place with a few mods are moddb..
Anywhere else?
Look up doom wads instead. You should find alot of rich forums.
+Tereith doomworld
ZDoom projects forum
try those
Go to the ZDoom Forums "Projects" page.You will find the best mods there.
Also, get away from ModDB. You wont find anything good there, you will just find bad mods like Call of Duty mod and Brutal Doom.
Well brutal doom is epic and love it. But thanks will check it out
+Tereith I dont like Brutal Doom myself but I see why someone would like it.
Are those weapon sprites from the old
Sega Saturn Alien fps game?
That game was brutal
and i couldn't save due to a dead battery in the console.
help! i cant get flare lights or sky texture on
