The Best from Doom

What are some of the things you like the most from the game Doom and why?

The gameplay, because it's highly enjoyable and holds up well to this day.

The WAD file format, because it makes the game's assets easily modifiable.

The soundtrack. It's easily one of the best I've heard in a game.

I think amongst other things obviously, the sound effects are brilliant, makes for a very satisfying experience and one of the many reasons doom has stood the test of time.

A few reasons why I LOVE DooM, Both playing and modding it:

1: An exceptionally helpful forum that almost always answers issues I have when I am editing the game

2: A very active modding community

3: The shotgun is actually effective at a range further than literal point-blank (I'm looking at you DooM 3/4 >:( )

4: Fast paced

5: DooM 1/2 gives you a nice supply of health, ammo and armour throughout the entire game

6: User-friendly (for the most part)

7: Contains some of the most easiest to learn editors ever.

8: If I lose HP I actually have to run away rather than be a little wuss and hold crouch for a few seconds

9: A big variety of ways to tackle a situation (Should I pick off the enemies with the chaingun, run in with rockets flying or nuke them from orbit with a BFG?)

and 10: P L A S M A R I F L E OwO

It has a very addictive gameplay which focus on level design to work well. Also, it has 3 of the best weapons to be used in any FPS: Rocket Launcher, Super Shotgun and BFG.

how everything fit great together. gameplay-music, level design-music and tons of more variations. 

The successful blend of photo reference & hand painted pixel art. Feels 100% hand drawn.

1. Massive depth: You can study Doom for years, and still learn new things about it. Just check out the size of the Wiki for proof!
2. Source code. I can change how it works!
3. Totally moddable. I can make maps, weapons, sprites, music, sounds. Just about anything.
4. Unlike any other game I know, I can play any way I want, and get results:

• Cerebral, and tactical
• Mindless, or in the zone
• Careful, or ape-shit

Weapons and game level design. A paragon to this very day ^^

The closest to virtual reality that I was able to get in 1994.
