Ok, so now I'm gonna talk about how to make old D2 more like D3...

In D2 this could be made too, not mentioing new ports which allow 
scripting.

D2 levels can be made dark too, so it's a matter of level design.

This could be easely implemented in a D2 port.

My conclusion is that all that scary stuff could be made in D2 or can be 
made in D2 ports. I'd really like to see a D3-Doom2 port. :)))

Or maybe a total conversion. :)
