This is HacX with OpenAL Soft's HRTF in GZDoom. Released in 1997 by Banjo Software, HacX was the last and most ambitious out of all the commercial Doom add-ons. It was a complete overhaul of Doom II that not only replaced all of the graphics and sounds, but used DeHackEd to modify the enemies and weapons as well. It also boasted the involvement of some incredibly notable figures like Iikka "Fingers" Keränen, Anthony "Adelusion" Czerwonka, Adam Williamson, and Kenneth Scott (art director of Halo 4). With all that hype going for it, surely HacX must've been a masterpiece, right?
Well no, HacX sucks. It contains what are easily the worst maps in each of the level designers' resumes. The cyberspace levels are so horrifically ugly and confusing that it's a wonder how anyone could've thought they were acceptable. The revamped weapons and monsters are completely unbalanced, leading to some really boring gameplay. To this date, I have never beaten HacX because MAP12 puts me to sleep. Had it not been released for free by Rich "Nostromo" Johnson then turned into an IWAD, I don't think anybody would've remembered this flop.
Case in point: Xaser, leader of the "HacX 2.0" development team that has yet to release any content in nearly 7 years.
