Unless shotguns are a starting weapon, they are terrible:

- forced as a melee weapon (same range as a real life Halberd, RL shotguns are supposed to be a close range (0-50m)
- more like a training shotgun, weak damage, too far spread

Unless UAC was distributing weaker than normal ammunition, they should buff weapon damage.

some Zombiemen seem to use some form of Plasma Pistol, another possible weapon? Possible Starting weapon?

Rocket Launchers are also bad, they were used against some sort of grunt enemy and it took two direct shots.


In terms of weapon power, DooM and Saints row are some what parallel
SR1 & D1: Weapons were powerful, somewhat relastic
SR2 & D2: Identical to first
SR3 & D3: Weapons were somewhat good
SR4 & D(2016): Weapons are weak, most likely to cater to the twelvie audience they were/are trying to tend to

Some sort of Heat Ray/Microwave Laser could be seen at one point during the Hell spotlight, possibly some form of Enemy weapon, but hopefully a usable weapon.

The last weapon is not the BFG9000. You can see the BFG in the last part of the hell gameplay video.

Edit: ah okay, my fault.

I love the Super Shotgun and Shotgun, they look pretty cool and seem pretty beefy, at least In terms of punch. I think the sounds should be beefier, the Super Shotgun Is fine.

So far they all look very, very satisfying, especially in comparison to Doom 3's feedback-less ones. They've got the punch and the enemies show it. Plus, alt-fires are a thing I've missed for a long time, they fit pretty well in Doom. I also dig the sleek, future-retro look they've all got to them.

They look good and beefy and the shotgun's sound effects are great, just a bit too generic in this day and age; besides the super shotgun, they all look like Destiny weapons. I guess there is so much you could do with futuristic sci fi space weaponry, but still.
I actually prefer some of the Doom 3 weapon designs over these.

Oh God, not a frag grenade. Hopefully that's only for multiplayer. Because I won't be using It In DM. The personal teleporter, I like. The weapons I love.

I can understand why'd they put In a fuckin' Frag Grenade though, to attract more modern gamers.

What's wrong with grenades? You throw them somewhere you don't want to be and ignore the mess that follows. It'd make sense for a space marine man to have them.

I know, but It doesn't feel right for a game focusing on being a classic FPS. Eh, at least It's optional, If I do feel like using It I'll just use It In a rough time on DM.

Well, Blood can be considered a classical fps and it had dynamite which functioned similarly to grenades. Also, of course, Quake 2 is considered classic and it had actual hand grenades.

You have a point, but Blood's way of doing It was sort of... Creative, It was TNT after all. But you have a point.

There are Wads that include grenades for Doom and actually very useful! Think of the map "The Waste Tunnels" in Doom 2, where there are various Imps hidden inside mini trap doors in the floor. Dropping a grenade in those does wonders. Makes sense too.

Actually, come to think of it, Duke 3D has pipe-bombs which are essentially remote activated grenades, which makes them much more useful than regular frag grenades. Thanks to pressing the 6 button, you can also spam them so you can set up a very effective ambush. There are also trip-bombs but they aren't nearly as useful since a laser's going to be more visible than a little pipe-bomb and you might accidentally set them off yourself.

You guys have a point, specially using the hand grenade In Brutal DOOM, It can be useful In Underhalls In those holes.

Doom 3 has hand grenades. They are pretty useful as a faceful of explosions when you need it.

Nah, D3 grenades sucks a lot, I finish first this game without using them because it took too long to throw them while fighting all those demons that try to jump on my face. On second my second play I use them more often but mostly because I know where demons hide. There should be button for throwing them like in FEAR or Halo, so they can be used during fight without need to cycle throe all guns I hold.
