Last Man Standing Coop

Last Man Standing Coop (LMS) Coop Mod is a popular Doom 3 single player and multiplayer modification that aims to bring back the classic Doom experience. The "LMS Mod" gametype is survival in nature where the player faces swarms of attacking monsters. It also fully supports single player cooperative play both on the normal Doom 3 maps through the "SP Coop" gametype and on the Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil (ROE expansion pack) maps through the "ROE Coop" gametype. As a note Coop support for ROE is not even featured in the XBOX version, only LMS does.

The goal of the modification is to blend together elements of Dooms 1 and 2 and Doom 3 together into an "LMS Mod" gametype, and also to provide cooperative play for the Doom 3 single player campaign and the Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil single player campaign.

Cooperative support for the Classic Doom 3 modification is scheduled for the next release.

Map Types

There are three different map types employed in the gametype "LMS Mod":

• KF (Killfest). The basic goal is to kill as many monsters as possible and remain the last marine (player) standing at the end of a match.
• Prog (Progression). Players progress through custom-made levels much like in Doom 3 single player levels.
• Def (Defense). Players are forced to hold off a certain area, protect a VIP, and/or progress backwards, holding off an invasion force of monsters until a timer runs out or an objective is completed.

Miscellaneous Features

• Infrared view, which is only available in the "LMS Mod" gametype, enables players to see monsters much more clearly than in normal view.
• Additional weapons, again only available in the "LMS Mod" gametype, include a double-barelled shotgun (not the same as the one included in the Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil expansion pack), a "plasma thrower," and a "plasma sniper" gun.
• Soundtrack that features several heavy metal songs.
