Doom is a fairly important game for many reasons. As well as being a well remembered shooter, Doom was the basis for a lot of the modding of games back when it was released and continues to be up until this day. There'll soon be a new Doom released and unfortunately its been confirmed that modding will not be supported.
However, it does seem that Bethesda are trying to make up for the lack by overhauling their map-making option to allow for the creation of "completely custom game modes."
The trailer is from E3 but there's an interivew with id Software's Marty Stratton and a few others over it, in which they talk about the 'SnapMap' feature and while it isn't full modding support, it is at least something. There's an accompanying blog post over on the Bethesda blog as well that goes into more detail.
Doom is due out sometime during the next Spring. Are you excited for the new Doom?
