WHAT IS QC:DE AND WHY USE THIS? (in my own words):
Doom 1 will always stay in my heart as the true classic that it is, but after trying out Freedoom 1 & 2, well, I wasn't overly impressed, I mean it's okay and a great effort of many people involved, but because of some enemies plus the music and feel it just didn't wow me that much.
However: using QC:DE with Freedoom Phase 1 or Phase 2 even only for Single Player will turn Freedoom into a whole new experience:
-the feeling that this is a different game to Doom, more modern, unique, but still retro-ish.
-having 3 soundtracks to choose from, being it from UT, MIDI or the great metal soundtrack from MARKIE which I absolutely love and which keeps your heart pumping to the action on screen.
-the sourceport that they've chosen is incredible: very high performance and it looks great. I can actually play this game in 1080p and still get between 120fps and 400fps permanently on my laptop(!) even with complex lighting enabled, which looks great. I usually play games with 1280x to 1680x resolution. While recording with OBS I had to decrease the resolution to 720p to get a proper recording without stuttering. The performance even with an AMD Ryzen 3 5300U is really good.
-the way Freedoomguy, I mean Menelkir moves is just different, the weapons feel great and are nicely animated in beautiful pixel-art.
-the pacing and atmosphere with Freedoom + QC:DE is just another level.
Well, that should be enough bragging, I guess.
