Doom 2 In City Only is a 36-level megawad for Doom II designed for MBF21-compatible source ports, created as a result of a community project, led by Alex Decker (myolden). The project started on December 1, 2023, and the first version was released on March 15, 2024. The final version was uploaded to the idgames archive on May 18, 2024.

Doom 2 In City Only was named one of the winners at the 2024 Cacowards.

Content[edit]

The mod uses custom PLAYPAL and COLORMAP lumps. The plasma gun's firing sound has also been changed to the one of its Doom 3 counterpart.
