And darkness. Thanks for the most useless flashlight in history!

And Doom 3 isn't even that fun gameplay-wise...

The first mod the game ever had, to my knowledge, was the Duct Tape mod that put the flashlight on some of (but not all of) the guns because a common joke about the shitty flashlight mechanics was "there ain't any duct tape on Mars? Cmon!" 🤣
