Due to its popularity and success, Doom II was later released for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, the Tapwave Zodiac in 2004, and on Xbox Live Arcade in 2010. The release of the original Doom source code has facilitated ports to many other platforms, including the Apple iPhone and several other types of cellphones. On August 13, during the QuakeCon 2009 media conference, it was announced that Doom II would be ported to Xbox Live Arcade, and was released in May the following year. Doom 2 Download was not dramatically different from its predecessor. There were no major technological developments, graphical improvements, or substantial gameplay changes. The game still consisted of the player navigating large non-linear levels. Each level is infested with demons that can be killed with a variety of weapons that can be picked up throughout the game. Levels are completed by finding an exit, whether it be a door, elevator etc., the goal is simply to advance to the next area. The levels in Doom II can be completed in a somewhat linear fashion, however, because the levels are non-linear players can wander off the beaten path, and those that do are often rewarded with bonuses, like health pickups and more powerful weapons. Due to the larger and more complicated maps with larger groups of monsters, the game had somewhat higher system requirements than the original.
Rather than the player playing through three related episodes as in the first Doom, gameplay takes place over one giant episode, albeit with interludes for when the story develops. Instead of watching the player's progress on a map (as in the original episodes of Doom), the screens between each level simply show a background (as in the bonus fourth episode of Doom available on The Ultimate Doom expansion pack). This also means the player is never forced to lose all of his or her inventory after completing an episode.
Doom II doubled the number of non-boss monster types and started using bosses from the original Doom as normal level enemies, in addition to adding a new weapon, the double-barreled shotgun (called the Super Shotgun in the game), and a new power-up, the Megasphere.
Doom 2 Download Multiplayer
Doom 's multiplayer functionality was greatly improved in Doom 2 Download, including "out of the box" support for a vastly increased number of dial-up modems. The two player dial-up connection allowed one player to dial in to the other player's computer in order to play either cooperatively or in deathmatch style combat. There was also LAN functionality added, which was improved upon as patches and updates were released. This functionality was later incorporated into the original Doom.As with the original Doom, multiplayer games used to be played using the dial-up or LAN by the internal setup program (setup.exe), through the online service DWANGO or with once popular programs like Kali and Kahn (using SPX) in Windows 95. Nowadays, in the modern standards, Doom II can be played in almost any version of Windows across the internet using third party source ports such as Odamex, Zandronum, ZDaemon, and are still popular today. The Xbox Live Arcade port of Doom II supports online multiplayer via Xbox Live.
Doom 2 Download Plot
Immediately following the events in Doom, the player once again assumes the role of the unnamed space marine / Doomguy. After returning from Hell, Doomguy finds that Earth has also been invaded by the demons, who have killed millions of people.The humans who survived the attack have developed a plan to build massive spaceships which will carry the remaining survivors into space. Unfortunately, the only space port that's capable of launching such ships has been taken hostage by the demonic invaders, who have placed a force field over it, causing it to malfunction. Doomguy then battles millions of demons and is able to deactivate the force field, allowing the remaining humans to escape. Once all the survivors escape Earth, Doomguy is the only human left on the planet.
Just as he sits down to await death, knowing that he saved mankind, Doomguy then receives an off-planet transmission from humans in orbit, who have managed to find out where the armies of Hell are coming from. The message reveals that the alien base is in the center of Doomguy's own hometown. Doomguy then fights through the city until he reaches the base, but sees there is no way to stop the invasion on that side. He then decides to step into the portal to try deactivating it from the other side.
After fighting through the hordes of Hell, Doomguy reaches the house of the biggest demon he has ever seen, called the Icon of Sin. He kills the Icon of Sin by firing rockets into its exposed brain. The Icon of Sin's death results in the destruction of the Hellish portal. Now with Hell in ruins, Doomguy joins with the other humans in an effort to restore life on Earth. During the last level, an eerie demonic voice is played. It is actually a recording played backwards to give it a demonic sound. When the sound is played back in reverse, it clearly says, "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero." When using clipping mode, if you go behind the demon's face you can see what is assumed to be John Romero's head on a stake.
