Some AAA games are complete crap. But honestly, if we're going to talk about  
high-quality games, I think I'd reference games like Xonotic, Armagetron  
Advanced, and Freeciv rather than Freedoom. Freedoom is really fun and a  
great project, but it's still in alpha and doesn't have an ending (it just  
starts repeating the same non-level fillers over and over again after a  
while).

I agree, Fredoom is great! What's the pratical difference between Odamex  
and Prboom?

Basically compatibility with other wads: since doom engine got GPL, there  
where many forks with different features and developers decided to take  
advantage of the new functionalities provided. As a result, a some wads are  
compatible only with the engine it was designed for. For instance, Hacx is  
not compatible with odamex and does not work well with prboom but works very  
well with eternity engine.


There are more differences like being able to look upwards in Odamex.

I would recommend doomsday but I couldn't make the latest stable version  
work.

Odamex is more advanced and supports multiplayer.

Actually, PrBoom+ supports looking up and down, though it doesn't support  
manual vertical aiming.

between Odamex

I think Odamex (odamex) has a console even in singleplayer, 
and also network support.

PrBoom (prboom) doesn't have a console, and doesn't have 
multiplayer support.

PrBoom+ (prboom-plus) doesn't have a console also, but 
has multiplayer support.

There's also Vavoom (vavoom), but I couldn't get it to run.

I also tried Doomsday Engine (doomsday-engine), it has 
improved OpenGL support, but yet uses less resources, but 
the latest stable version requires the original Doom 2 as 
IWAD (main game file) if you're trying to play Freedoom 2, 
and the majority of levels get normal players stuck (unless 
you use the noclip mode). If I recall correctly, the version in 
Trisquel's repositories works with Freedoom 2 as IWAD 
(main game), with no need for the original Doom 2, but you 
can't respawn in multiplayer matches.


Respectfully, Adonay.
Have a nice day.

Er... Freedoom is not a AAA game. That term refers to games with really high  
budgets and marketing, and I'm pretty sure Freedoom has little or none of  
either.

I have to admit that I have spent WAY too much time playing this. It is all  
the joy of Doom from the 90's but done so much better.

I know.
'AAA' implies quality, and I said We got Freedoom, bitches! implying that  
Freedoom was of higher quality than an AAA game in a half-jest half-not-jest  
manner.

Yea, it's pretty awesome. :)
I've played Odamex with some great WADs- it's perfect.

 Greetings ladies and gentlemen:
 
 I've recently been playing Freedom 0.9 and Strainfix 
through Freedoom and
 I'm impressed. I recommend it if you have spare time.
 
 Odamex and Prboom-plus are very good engines but only 
prboom-plus is in
 Trisquel's repos. Odamex can be compiled without 
problems but be carefull
 because it doesn't have make unisntall so I suggest you 
install it where
 is easy for you to remove (checkinstall is usefull in cases 
like this).
 
 I only had the need to share my opinion if you are asking 
why I did this

I like both Freedoom and Freedoom 2.
