   "FreeRoam" Doom 1 & 2 Mod Makes Game Open-World   
   A modder has changed up the first two Doom games in a big way,   
   connecting their levels to create large open-world maps for players to   
   explore.   
      
   Few games have been remixed by fans as much as the original Doom.   
   While there¬ÇÖs a well-recorded history of Doom being made playable   
   through unconventional means like pregnancy tests and inside other   
   video games, plenty of modders have taken a different approach and   
   focused on applying more modern game design ideas to the 1993 shooter.   
   Case in point, the latest of these mods has turned Doom and its sequel   
   into open-world games.   
      
   This reimagining comes courtesy of a modder known as ddadd, who   
   released a Freeroam pack for Doom 2 this week after releasing   
   one for Doom 1 back in September. Like the name suggests, these mods   
   remove the linear structuring of the Doom games levels as well as   
   the menus that separate them in the official versions, giving longtime   
   fans a brand new way to explore these classic demon-infested locales.   
      
   Both feature plenty of new terrain linking all of the original   
   locations together and secret pathways to discover, though ddadd notes   
   that the open world is better in the Doom 2 pack than in Doom 1, with   
   hills, lakes, and other bits of varied terrain. What's more,   
   in addition to new ways to enter levels, the Freeroam packs provide a   
   few other new features, including merchants that players can trade   
   with for items and weapons and new bosses to fight.
