[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63730, member: 1"] Within hours of Xbox revealing Doom: The Dark Ages, a modder had added the upcoming game's seriously metal saw-toothed shield to the original Doom. Posting to [URL='https://x.com/CreeperOfSteam/status/1800033013881004087']X/Twitter[/URL], modder Craneo showcased a retro version of The Dark Ages' saw shield being used in the opening level of Doom 2 on PC. The mod replaces the original game's chainsaw with the new shieldsaw, but this isn't just a re-skin. In an effort to truly replicate what we saw in The Dark Ages' trailer, Craneo's modded saw not only cuts through enemies, but can also be thrown into distant foes and used to defend against damage. This work arrived in quicker than quick time: Craneo posted the video of the mod to X/Twitter barely 12 hours after the trailer for Doom: The Dark Ages had debuted as part of the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-games-showcase-and-black-ops-6-direct-june-2024-everything-announced']Xbox Games Showcase[/URL].
