DOOM 2 Cosplay Brings Ruthlessly Retro Doomguy Armor To Life
One fan's DOOM 2 cosplay puts an original spin on Doomguy's iconic armor from the brutal demon-slaying series. 1993's DOOM is considered to be the world's first true first-person shooter, and its 1994 sequel pushed the envelope even further by introducing larger levels featuring new weapons and demons. Despite the franchise's age, modern sequels and fan-made creations like the DOOM 2 fighting game mod have helped maintain the series' infernal legacy.
DOOM featured groundbreaking innovations upon release, including three-dimensional graphics and networked multiplayer, and DOOM 2 managed to perfect and expand upon the first game's foundations. A new super shotgun was added to Doomguy's arsenal of high-octane weaponry, and a new health-regenerating megasphere power-up could be found in the game's more elaborate and immersive maps.

The first game's accessible mod support was also carried over into the sequel, with modern modifications like a recent DOOM 2 NFT monkey mod still being released today.
