reflex17 Posted October 8, 2019 The infighting would be insane and mostly decided by max HP at that point Spoiler Yo dawg, we heard you like chaingunners, so we put some rapid-fire hitscanners in your monster closets so you can RIP while you run. 6 Share this post Link to post
Doom_Dude Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Might as well include an Arch-vile with a chaingun that fires incendiary rounds. :D 2 Share this post Link to post

Loud Silence Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Lost Soul with Berserk Fist, Revenant's missiles with noclip, actions from @Job fantasy/avatar turn to reality. Awful thing that actually happened to me - Archvile revived Revenant squashed by elevator. 4 Share this post Link to post

Fun fact: The beta version of Doom (Press Release version) actually had a lost soul with a ranged hitscan attack (not continuous like the chaingunners, but still) 2 Share this post Link to post

reflex17 Posted October 8, 2019 I'll see your hitscan rockets and raise you a dual-wielding SSG with a tightly focused spread and zero cooldown 2 Share this post Link to post
spineapple tea Posted October 8, 2019 With that kinda profile pic I don't think you should be telling me what would be awful. 2 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted October 9, 2019 It would be even more awful if they all had the Zombieman attack because then the game would be really boring. Job's idea would be a lot less awful. I decided to prove it by making it! badguycg.zip Just load that DEH in your favorite port and enjoy getting perforated. 2 Share this post Link to post

Cacodemon and Revenant: Actually, as long as the cacodemon and revenant retained the same pain chance, whether they had chainguns would be incidental because you could still stun-lock them with relative ease, assuming you had the proper weapons to do that. If the revenant still had rockets and a punch and the cacodemon still spit lightning balls and had a bite attack, and they would only use the chaingun at certain distances, they would be essentially the same enemies that they are now. If the use of the chaingun was determined by RNG, that would be a bit of a pain, because you would lose predictability in how the monsters would attack and when they would attack that way. I suppose then, you could just get next to them, forcing them to melee, assuming the chaingun didn't replace the melee attack (see next bullet point, no pun intended). If the chainguns replaced their melee attacks, them having chainguns would likely be incidental because you would just have to keep them at a distance and fight them the same way you do now. Baron of Hell: A chaingun-wielding Baron of Hell would be a bit of a pain to fight, due to the hitscan nature of the attack, but it would be great in infighting situations. Similar to the first two monsters, if the chaingun was only an option based on distance or replaced the melee attack, it wouldn't be much of an issue, for the same reasons described above. Similarly, if the chaingun use was dictated by RNG, that would be a bit more of a pain due to a loss of predictability. So, all in all, the situation you present wouldn't really suck all that much or at least not any more than usual. What it would do was present interesting challenges for mappers to effectively use these new chaingun-wielding monsters to maximum advantage, which, if done properly, might elevate them higher on the "Monster X sucks" scale. 1 Share this post Link to post

Maximum Matt Posted October 13, 2019 I always thought rocket launcher zombies and plasma gun zombies would've been an awesome addition to Doom and a great expansion to its' techbase side. Like the plasma zombies just shoot single shots, like at the same rate as the trooper/shotgunner, but of course if there's a group of them it would turn into chaos - and then rocket launcher zombies.... just imagine the carnage. And I always thought the arch-vile should've had a melee attack. 0 Share this post Link to post
