Twilight Warrior is a tactical military Doom II total conversion created by Black Shadow Software that requires source port Doom Legacy. The initial November 15, 1998 release hosted on Doomworld was followed by a v1.01 upgrade on December 20, 1998.

Covert Operations, a remake for EDGE, was released by Black Shadow Software in 2000 and it reuses many of the Twilight Warrior resources.

Story[edit]

The WAD places the protagonist in a secret military unit called Global Counter-Terrorist Operations (GCTO). As a "Twilight Warrior" the player is a Special Forces soldier without rank or identity. The WAD includes a file briefing.txt that contains a mission briefing for each of the 10 new levels. Missions include base infiltration/clearance, hostage rescues, and an ordered assassination.

Levels[edit]

All levels by Sidearm Joe unless otherwise noted.

• MAP01: Killing Room

Enemies[edit]

Five of the new enemies are edits of Doom's zombieman sprites to make human foes. The grunts and commando have medium-to-high damage hitscan attacks that force players to turn corners and enter rooms deliberately.

• Guard dog (from Wolfenstein 3D)
• Jungle grunt
• Desert grunt
• Bazooka guy
• Special forces commando
• Helicopter gunship (graphic and sounds from All Hell is Breaking Loose)
• Assassination target

Hostages[edit]

MAP03, MAP05, MAP07, and MAP09 contain friendly hostages that must be rescued from capture. By making use of the Icon of Sin's A_BrainDie code pointer, if any hostage dies in crossfire the level immediately ends and the next level will begin. A similar effect appeared in Sidearm Joe's Hostage Rescue 3 WAD released in January 1998.

Weapons[edit]

The onscreen display of the new weapons are angled, similar to Duke Nukem 3D.

• Commando knife
• Browning 9mm pistol
• OICW (Objective Individual Combat Weapon) rifle
• OICW grenade launcher
• H&K MP5 submachine gun
• Hand grenades / flashbangs
• Flamethrower
• H&K PSG-1 sniper rifle
