Weasel Presents: Terrorists!

John SomeGuyWithAPistol, Ethnically-ambiguous terrorists have seized control of your favorite Doom and/or Heretic WAD file and have issued a set of nonsensical demands. We're certainly not planning on paying, releasing, or... doing whatever the hell it is they want, and sending the whole Army after them is a waste of our considerable defense budget, so we're sending You in, alone, to do your shooty, kicky, explodey thing. Just try not to let the hostages die in the process - they're carrying your powerups.

Terrorists! is a mod I originally released in 2012 and am only now uploading here. It is intended as a semi-satirical, definitely-silly tribute to 1980's and 1990's action movies like Commando, Die Hard, Under Siege, Total Recall, and The Terminator, and to mid-1990s light-gun games like Lethal Enforcers, Revolution X, and Virtua Cop. It does this by way of the enemy sprites from William Shatner's TekWar, and a lot of other creatively repurposed assets from other games. The focus here is on giving you all the tools you need to become your own Man of Action.
The feature set:

• This is a Hollywood-realism mod - weapons recoil and need to reload, but that's all! No complicated magazine systems, no bandaging, no weapon slot limits.
• Included weapons are cliché on purpose, but each one is made using resources that have not been seen yet in a Doom mod. Weapons level up as you use them, gaining extra attachments or characteristics that make them more fun to use.
• "Hostage System" replaces large powerups with civilian hostages that must be "rescued" with the Use key to obtain special items.
• Off-hand melee button with two modes: Kick and Taser.
• Aims to be cheesy...but *good* cheesy!
• Awarded a Missed Cacoward in 2024 as part of Doomworld's 20th Annual Cacowards celebration.

Featuring contributions from the following amazing people:

• Cardboard Marty as the voice of terrorist liaison double agent, "Alfred Wester"
• BouncyTEM as the voice of terrorist leader, "Mister Falcon"
• Code contributions by Xaser, Kinsie, LittleWhiteMouse, BouncyTEM, TheDarkArchon, Kate Silver (rest in peace), DavidPH, Blzut3, Ed the Bat, and possibly a lot of others I've forgotten in the years since I finished this mod.
• Credits for resources can be found inside the PK3 file (extract it with your favorite ZIP program) inside the folders containing those resources. I know, it's not the most accessible place for them, and I'm sorry.
