Anyone else here enjoying AD's chaos mode? It's a big deal for me because Quake's original maps are still my favorites and AD's new enemy types make them much more challenging.

As mentioned in the previous thread, I took issue with the widowmaker being available in the mode because I felt that it was too useful over other weapons. Apparently one other reason why I find shotguns too useful over nailguns in chaos mode is because the randomizer often replaces small shell boxes with large ones. Also, the mode randomizes armor and powerups and I think it's dumb when a yellow armor gets replaced with a green armor or a biosuit gets replaced with invulnerability.

In addition to removing the weapon upgrades, I ended up removing almost all the randomizing functions except for the monster randomizer. However, I did keep the randomizer which occasionally replaces health packs with enemies because that's fun.

If you're a purist like me and prefer having the original 100 ammo cap for shells, although this change affects the rest of AD and not just chaos mode:
