ghetto Posted February 19, 2003 Who has a good Berserk story? Get a good kill? Been killed? My favorite berserk moment was when my friend Berseked my homie into a teleporter. It was funny. 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted February 19, 2003 I beat e1m8 on ultra violence with only my (non-berserk) fist. I got 100% kills. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted February 19, 2003 I berserk-fisted somebody in DM, I forgot who. Heh, then I was rocket-raped. Note to self : never run around with a fist in non 1on1 >_< 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted February 19, 2003 Once I picked up a berzerk pack for the first time playing without god mode, and I got 100 health. I was like 'woah'. 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMBoy Posted February 19, 2003 I remember I cheated and beserked my way all the through E1 on UV. Needless to say, it definetely took more than one try. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kerstens Posted February 19, 2003 This one is really embarrassing, but oh well. My brother and me were playing on my home network, and at a time I was standing atop a teleporter. The teleporter to my position was closeby, so when I punched my brother, his corpse blasted away, INTO the teleporter, so I got telefragged by his splattered corpse! That was funny! 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted February 19, 2003 Heh, it was like 2 weeks of playing back in '94 before I realised the berserk pack gave you strength as well as being a mega medkit. Anyway, gibbing a chaingunner is always fun. 0 Share this post Link to post
Stealthy Ivan Posted February 20, 2003 The best shit I ever saw, was on some map on our old bbs that had like 50 berserk paks in it. And every one who was deathmatching was using the fist... It reminded me of a drunkin bar fight..! haha 0 Share this post Link to post

Best berzerk moment was when I found out that it refilled your life. I thought it only increased your strength. Second best is when I found out it lasts for the whole level. 0 Share this post Link to post

chilvence Posted February 20, 2003 Berserks the best weapon! It gives a whole new life to wads youve played to death :) I remember first being hooked on berserk when playing e4m2, and running out of ammo at the end where all the cacodemons are. I was surrounded by about 5 or so, killed three and seriously injured the fourth before they could put me down. That was before I even knew about the mouse :). I know it can be easily bettered nowadays, but that was my first beserker rush so its my fave Since then whenever I get a berserk I have to stay true to it and go on a berserker rampage. I mean its just so much fun to watch zombiemen splatter for 20 yards when you hit them :) 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted February 20, 2003 Vulg@r said:I beat e1m8 on ultra violence with only my (non-berserk) fist. I got 100% kills. I once began to try and beat maps with only the unpowered fists but I eventually lost my patience - it's too boring to be worth it and since I hate braggers, I usually try not to become one myself (so the bragging right is no motivation for me). (Sometimes, however, I do end up doing some bragging about something). 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted February 20, 2003 I've never been too good with the berserk fist. I did one demo where I put it to pretty good use though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Job Posted February 20, 2003 I tried to kill the cyberdemon in Tower of Babel in the PSX version entirely with an un-berserked fist. I got the pattern down pretty well...though it's kind of tough to dodge volley after volley of rockets. I got pretty far, probably one or two BFGs worth of life off of him but then he finally splattered me. : / I went through the game trying to see what enemies I could kill entirely with a normal fist: Trooper: Yes - Pain Elemental: Yes Sergeant: Yes - Lost Soul: Yes Commando: Yes - Hell Knight: Yes Imp: Yes - Baron of Hell: Yes Demon: Yes - Archvile: No Specter: Yes - S.S. Man: Yes Cacodemon: Yes - Cyberdemon: Kinda Revenant: Yes - Spider Demon: No Mancubus: No - Player: No Arachnotron: No When you know all the levels well and it seems like you've done everything, the final frontier in Doom is trying to Tyson every demon without berserk. At least in plain vanilla Doom/Doom II 0 Share this post Link to post
Gokuma Posted February 20, 2003 Chainsawing someone to death who was trying to berserk punch me to death. I just sawing him in the sides and backing away when he'd turn to face me and punch me. I don't recommend attempting this in a port with client prediction over the internet. While someone appears to still be facing away, they may actually be looking right at you. Jumping into a 4 or 5 player map32 deathmatch on csDoom or ZDaemon late and berserk punching people to death like mad whether they were using the SSG or BFG, it didn't matter. Jumped up to second place before it ended and had streaks of at most 8 skills in a row between getting killed. People might be interested to know that in Ultimate Doom, E1M1 has a berserk pack on skills 1-3 in multiplayer. 0 Share this post Link to post
m0l0t0v Posted February 20, 2003 Is it possible to berserk a arachnotron? every time I get close its plasmafire pushes me away :-( I'm pretty sure it can be done to all other monsters, although the SMM must be very difficult. 0 Share this post Link to post

The SMM and the arachnotron have a sort of "personal space" bubble that you can't enter. So it's next to impossible to punch them. I'd say about maybe 1 in 7 punches are successful. And, by then, you're dead. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted February 20, 2003 That's just because the sprite and the cube that makes up the thing are not the same size... if you learn to stand at the appropiate distance you can punch them, but it's harder than against monsters with more accurate sizes. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted February 20, 2003 It's actually quite easy to kill an Arch-Vile with berserk, once you get close enough that is. Since he has no melee attacks, you can just punch him without worrying about claws or whatever. When he starts his attack, he remains stationary, giving you a perfect, albeit somewhat short, opportunity to get in a few licks before he releases his attack. I would hit him once or twice, then duck behind something, and go back and do it again until he dies. It works best in small areas or around doorways where both of you can't fit through the door at the same time. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted February 21, 2003 For some classic berserk moments, try this. The first level of my first wad is a chainsaw/berserk map, which can be good for berserk moments as well. Punching a baron to death is still the best moment for me. Speed demons (demons with -fast) are great as well. And punching a barrel into a group of zombies/imps a few hundred units away is fun... 0 Share this post Link to post
