Doom Mod Turns Game Into an Homage to Nu-Metal Band Limp Bizkit

Since the reboot of the series back in 2016, Doom has been brought back into the limelight. Not that it ever truly left, given that the original two entries which released in the 90s are still considered influential to this day. On top of that, id Software has recently started hiring for an unnamed project, which could see the fast-paced shooter be given a new installment. Over the decades, fans have kept the classic games alive through modding and making it run on unusual pieces of hardware, and now it looks as though someone has married their love of the original title with their love for early 2000s rap metal.

As spotted by PCGamesN, user 40oz has managed to create an add-on for Doom that comes with 12 new maps and also pays homage to Limp Bizkit by replacing some of the game's textures with images of the band's frontman Fred Durst. For those who don't recall, Limp Bizkit was a nu-metal act fronted by the red cap wearing Durst and enjoyed mainstream success at the turn of the millennium, particularly when the band's hit «Nookie» went to number six on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts in 1999.

Another popular Limp Bizkit song was «Rollin',» and as it happens, one of the names of the mod's custom maps is called «Keep Rollin'.» In fact, all of the levels are named after Limp Bizkit songs or lyrics, such as «Did It For Tha Nookie» and «Generation X.» There are a ton of Doom mods out there which do interesting things, but this one is fairly unique in that it could easily have just added 12 new maps to the game, but the modder decided to incorporate some nostalgic music into the mix. However, there may be an issue regarding copyright as the mod uses Limp Bizkit's music in its soundtrack
