Sound, gameplay & quality of life improvement mod for the original Doom-3.
Aimed to polish and further emphasize the slow and methodic demon-
killfest
of the original, by turning it into a fine-tuned action-horror experience in
the style of Silent Hill and Dead Space, without any of Doom-3 odd handicaps.
 Remade sound FX, unique atmospheric flashlights, weapon/ammo rebalance, more quality of life.

MOD CREDITS
----------------------

DOOM-3-BRAVO Mod (all versions) - created by HexenStar.

The flashlight part of the mod - is a derivative work: it is my modification of
the "TH Lights" mod, - which originally created by Talon Hunter, and is used
with permission. His idea of making atmospheric flashlights was absolutely genial!
