'''''Marine Doom''''' is a 1996 [[mod (computer gaming)|modification]] of the [[first-person shooter]] ''[[Doom II]]'' for [[United States Marine Corps|US Marines]], which was later made available for download to the public. In the game, a [[fireteam]], comprising four Marines, is supposed to accomplish a specific mission, the default being the destruction of an enemy bunker, although other scenarios such as a hostage rescue in a foreign embassy can be designed. In order to allow coordination of their movements, these soldiers play on separated computers in the same room. The fireteam consists of a team leader, two riflemen and one machine-gunner. ==History== In 1996, [[General]] [[Charles C. Krulak]], [[Commandant]] of the US Marine Corps issued a [[directive]] to use [[wargame]]s for improving "Military Thinking and Decision Making Exercises". He entrusted the ''Marine Combat Development Command'' with the task of developing, exploiting and approving computer-based wargames to train U.S. Marines for "decision making skills, particularly when live training time and opportunities were limited." A group of U.S. Marine [[simulation]]s experts originally led by [[Major]] Kirk Skinner, including [[Lieutenant]] Luis Velasquez and [[Lieutenant]] Scott Barnett as the project officers with Sergeant Snyder as one of the designers and modelers, in [[Quantico, Virginia]] of the ''Automated Information Systems Office'', and later ''Marine Corps Modeling and Simulation Management Office'' (''MCMSMO''), obtained a copy of the commercial ''[[Doom (video game)|Doom]]'', released in 1993 by [[id Software]], and used it to develop a simulation which focused on mutual fireteam support, protection of the automatic rifleman, proper sequencing of an attack, ammunition discipline and succession of command. Their [[source code|code]] was adapted for the commercial ''Doom II'' before its release, and requires a commercial copy of Doom II 1.9 to run. ==See also== *[[Recruitment tool]] *[[America's Army]], a complete game developed on behalf of the United States Army, as a recruiting tool. ==External links== * [http://www.usmc.mil/directiv.nsf/0/86b631baa8c30301852565600071ec85/$FILE/MCO%201500.55.pdf "Military Thinking and Decision Making Exercises directive 1500.55"] by Marine Corps [[Commandant]] (on April 4th, 1997) * [http://www.tecom.usmc.mil/techdiv/mcmsmo.htm "Marine Corps Modeling and Simulation Management Office"] * [http://www.tec.army.mil/TD/tvd/survey/Marine_Doom.html survey at the ''U.S. Army Topographic Engineering Center''] * [http://doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=5190 mirror for ''Marine Doom'' downloads] {{fps-videogame-stub}} [[Category:1996 video games]] [[Category:Advergames]] [[Category:Doom mods]] [[Category:DOS games]] [[Category:First-person shooters]] [[Category:United States Marine Corps in media]]
