Halodoom
A downloadable game for Windows
Halodoom is a fangame that pays tribute to the Halo universe and seeks to push the Doom Engine to its limits!
While utilizing the source port Zandronum, Halodoom offers a totally unique and standalone modern Halo experience within the classic engine that originally spawned the first person shooter genre!
Halodoom was a solo project I first started when I was 15 years old and had no idea how to go about making it happen. Initially brought about by a desire to play Halo on an iPod Mini after learning it could run Doom, the project soon snowballed into something that I would carry with me for half of my life, and would set me on a path of game development that I am still on today. It has seen several iterations in the past, and gone by many names, a comfort project I could pick away at whenever I felt the urge. Now, 15 years later, it's time to finally do justice to the first game I ever made. It's time to finish this fight!
FEATURES
16 Weapons and 4 Grenade Types and Classic Powerups
Halodoom's Weapons Sandbox includes : Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, Magnum, Sniper, Rocket Launcher, Shotgun, Spiker Rifle, Mauler, Chainsaw, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Rifle, Carbine, Needler, Fuel Rod Cannon, Energy Sword, Beam Rifle, Frag Grenades, Plasma Grenades, Spike Grenades and Firebomb Grenades. You will also occasionally find an Overshield or Active Camo!
8 Armor Coatings With Adjustable Primary Color
Customize your Mark VI Armor set with 8 different coatings, combined with a slider system for primary color, you have a myriad of different aesthetic options!
Flood and Covenant Firefight With 8 Hidden Unlockable Skulls
Fight against waves of either Covenant (On the map Terminus) or Flood (On Flood Gulch). Firefight offers a range of difficulties from Easy to Mythic, as well as the option to Save/Load your game. Once you've found and unlocked Skull modifiers hidden within the various maps, you can enable them in this mode to yield some pretty absurd results!
72 Possible Game Mode Combinations!
Halodoom offers a handful of familiar game types including Slayer, Oddball, King of the Hill, Juggernaut, Infection and SWAT (With more on the way in a future update) . Coupled with 12 unique weapon start templates, you'll never run out of variations to try out! You can also play either Free for All or as a Team!
Interactive Main Menu Map
Halodoom contains an interactive main menu with visual aids to better help you get started. Custom views will pop up for map selection, player customization and bot selection.
15 Custom Bots
Engage in combat with these highly customized bots. If you've ever played Doom with bots you'll know they can be a bit... simplistic. These bots have custom behavior which allows them to better utilize the maps and game types.
13 Multiplayer Maps
Test your skills against bots on 13 multiplayer maps which contain classic remakes of both Halo and Doom staples, as well as a healthy dose of original creations. (Online multiplayer with custom server browser coming soon in a future update!)
Lockup - Remake of the classic Halo 2 map Lockout
Warehouse - A small and claustrophobic arena map
Submerged - A carousel of carnage
Rebellion - Medium sized arena map with a great view of High Charity!
Ghostship - A faithful remake of Halo 3's Heretic (Midship)
Liminal - One of the only non-gimmick Halo CE maps never remade. The Rat Race is back on!
Flood Gulch - A flood infested reimagining of everyone's favorite box canyon!
Verdant - An elevated series of ramps and platforms suited for long range!
Terminus - A remake of Halo 2 's Terminal
Schism - A cyclical midsized arena map reminiscent of several Halo staples.
Threshold - A reimagining of the Doom II map Entryway tailored to Halodoom's gameplay style!
Trigate - An asymmetric arena map with a wooden finish

I have a Miyoo Mini with Onion OS, am I able to run this on there? Looks really cool
Really good gam but I think you should add a sprinting mechanic or increase d$the player speed
This is a great FPS in general, let alone a great Halo fan game. It's amazing what this engine can do when pushed to this degree and the game provides lots of options for replayability.
Two things I would suggest are bot difficulty settings in Offline Multiplayer, like seen in the Firefight mode, and pathfinding updates to the AI. As it is, the bots like to peer through even the smallest gap between structures when aiming, making them unnaturally accurate, and can often have trouble moving through the maps. Allies can occassionally become useless as they simply refuse to pathfind from time to time, while enemies often stay clustered in a single area.
Likewise, the ability to play Firefight vs Covenent and Flood on more or all of the maps would further serve to broaden the experience. Each enemy type is currently limited to a single map and this is quite limiting in terms of gameplay.
Released on 7/7 . . . My mom's birthday! Amazing gift dude! Cool project! Now a campaign/story mode would be awesome! I know you ow us nothing, but it would be so fun! I know a perfect story line that would have mistery and betrial, what do you think? I can share it if you want to you. This is a neet and great project you have there! Never give up on your dreams.
The movement feels more slower and more clunkier than the other halo games
not sure if I set it up wrong but it ran really slow, gonna try again when I see an update. awesome idea
w game and w creator
how do i start a game
how to make halodoom better and funnier
1. pls add a campaign.
2. pls add a Search and Destroy gamemode ~ Search and Destroy: Teams have to take turns either planting the bomb to destroy an objective or defending the objective.
3. pls add driveable vehicles like hoverboards maybe add jetpacks.
4. pls allow us to make custom maps, and custom weapons.
if you add these things halodoom will be ranked #1 on my top favorite games list (halodoom's number #3)
Absolutely no, you wanna make halo like call of duty! Go play more HALO and less cod
k, thx for the advice 👍
Tf do you mean? Campaign, drivable vehicles, and custom maps have been in the Halo franchise since the CE. If anything, adding that stuff would make it MORE like Halo. Having a S&D game mode could be pretty interesting given Halo's game mechanics. Maybe don't talk about things you know nothing about.
"Maybe don't talk about things you know nothing about."
calm down, i was just making some suggestions
no need to get mad about it also darkhero67 asked for story mode
Campaign (or Story) Mode is useful as a term to distinguish it from other modes of play that a game might offer.

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to blacks7orm2025. I agree with what you were saying.
CoD became sh1te a while ago, i played THIS game, and i had to choice between this game and CoD? I take this game any day of the week! CoD has been made by greedy b4st4rds, this game is build out of a passion, which is thé reason games exists in the first place, including doom, because it was made out of passion!
A campaign is indeed something i miss as well, but remember that this person is doing this all by himself, he doesn't ow us anything, but hoverboards and jetpacks isn't something the doom engine isn't known for, it might do some crazy things . . .
Well if the developers can only make this game available on Android it will be the best for me
This is one of the best games I have ever played. If there is a multiplayer update or even just a LAN update this would be top 5 game for me of all time. You mentioned you are in game development. I don't see any of your other games on itch, what are they?
This is awesome! One question tho...
Do bots also work for coop?. . .
I will be disappointed if not
awesome
ive never downloaded a game how do a start it
any plans for a story mode
GZDoom port when ?
this is the bees knees, awesome job.
I love this dude. How the hell did you keep this gem of a project a secret!?! You, my friend, are a real one. True masterpiece. Keep it up for the sake of humanity!
This is legit OG Halo gameplay! So Awesome bro!
marry me
WOW this game is so awesome tysm
This is so GASM Great mod
This is marvelous, wow!
Thank you for this. Its been fun. I heard you were supposedly going to release a standalone version of the enemies in this mod. Is this true, and if so, any idea when it will come out? Thank you in advance.
Hello... I wanted to say that this game is fantastic.. I play it on my mobile device with the Delta touch application.. I've been playing it for days without stopping, the bots work wonderfully, it has all the details of a halo... Thank you very much for creating it..
when you launch if you click zandorum.exe it will take you to a unfinished game called free doom
There are launch instructions on this page, but basically you have to launch Halodoom through its own custom launcher, via Halodoom.exe or the shortcut to it in the root of the folder.
Zandronum.exe will just run Zandronum with the included free version of Doom haha.
i already know how too launch halodoom i like the game i just found that free doom was on there
Unfortunately its not very well optimized. I can't even play it it lags so bad, even with all the settings lowered. Looks really badass though on the video!
I'm sorry to hear you're having issues, would you mind sharing your specs?
8 gigs ram, AMD Radeon Vega 8 GPU, AMD Ryzen 5 345OU 4 core CPU 2.10 GHz
Similar issues here with i7-10750H and GTX 2070.
