A ridiculous Doom 2 mod turns all the grunting marines into vrooming automobiles, making the whole thing resemble a crude approximation of Destruction Derby or Twisted Metal.The mod, entitled Byngu, debuted on the Zandronum forums (http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=101) where user mr fiat posted his bizarre creation (thanks, Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5990094/an-ingenious-mod-turns-doom-2-into-twisted-metal)). Evidently it consists of four classes of cars, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. There are also several custom power-ups.Based on the clip below by Youtube user
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ARc1flxpZ44, the Byngu mod makes players look less like cars than marines larping as cars, as there's little momentum to the characters' movements (though you do sprint like the six-million dollar man), but it still looks fun and utterly chaotic regardless. Feel free to download the mod at the Zandronum forums (http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=101).
