cyber-menace Posted September 4, 2003 I'm a bit of a maniac when it comes to what weapons I use. Here's my whole list: Trooper, Shotguy, Chainguy, Imp, Demon, Caco, Lost Soul - Shotgun, SSG Pain-E - Chaingun, SSG, Rockets, Plazma, BFG! Ravnant, Arch-Vile, Knight, Baron - Rockets, BFG, SSG, Shotgun Spider and Cyber - BFG, Plazma, Rockets, RUN LIKE HELL!!!! That should do it. I hate the Chaingun, but it does help against those damn Pain Elementals. Stops them from spawning anything... 0 Share this post Link to post

Draconio Posted September 4, 2003 Trooper, Sargeant, Imp: Pistol, Shotgun, Chaingun, Berserk, Rocket Launcher (for clusters), BFG9000 (A big fuckin' gun for big fuckin' groups) Commando: Shotgun, Chaingun, Super Shotgun, Rocket Launcher Demon, Spectre, Lost Soul: Shotgun, Super Shotgun, Chaingun, Berserk, Chainsaw Cacodemon: Super Shotgun, Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Chainsaw Pain Elemental: Chainsaw (their secret weakness!), Super Shotgun, Plasma Rifle, BFG9000 Revenant: Shotgun, Super Shotgun, Chaingun, Rocket Launcher Hell Knight, Baron of Hell: Super Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, BFG9000 (for groups or if hurt badly) Mancubus, Arachnotron: Super Shotgun, Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle Arch-vile: Super Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle, BFG9000 (Take 'em down fast) Spiderdemon: Plasma Rifle, BFG9000 Cyberdemon: Super Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, BFG9000 ----------------- Preferred Deathmatch usage: Shotgun: Used at moderately long distances, also somewhat useful at closer distances. Super Shotgun: For up close and personal combat. Chaingun: The best weapon at very long distances, otherwise general purpose if no better weapon is nearby. Rocket Launcher: For moderate distance, best if the opponent is near a wall. Good choice for butting in, since a good shot may take out both combatants with one rocket. Plasma Rifle: Waggle back and forth to spread plasma, a nice choice when butting into a fight that's already going on. BFG9000: For when everyone has to die right now. 0 Share this post Link to post

Fredrik Posted September 4, 2003 Whatever consumes less ammo. Berserk when available and health is good. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted September 4, 2003 Yeah, I try to use the weakest weapon possible and conserve ammo. Even if I have the chaingun, I'll still use the pistol. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted September 4, 2003 Using the powerful weapons gets boring. It's more fun to stalk around corners in fear of death. Of course, there's still something to be said abuot charging into a room, guns blazing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scuba Steve Posted September 4, 2003 I usually use weapons I made. I always fire up new wads with something like the Unmaker or the Flame Cannon. 0 Share this post Link to post
chilvence Posted September 4, 2003 I like punching and hacking things. I think I amuse/piss off some people on Doom Connector for that. If only the melee weapons were improved, to make it realisticly possible to punch mankies and spiders. There would be so much more fun in that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted September 4, 2003 Shooting stuff with a BFG works just fine. All the way from the trooper to the Baron, it's all BFG fodder for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dunbar Posted September 4, 2003 I'll use the SSG on anything. It's pretty durn effective. But I won't hesitate to rev up the ol' Eager Beaver when that cascade of spectre's barrels down on me. 0 Share this post Link to post

I don't ever use the BFG on anything, but I do know exactly how to use it effectively when the time comes. SMASHING PUMPKINS INTO SMALL PIECES OF PUTRID DEBRIS!!!!LOL 0 Share this post Link to post

Inferno Posted September 5, 2003 If you want to conserve ammo try crossfiring also, then use berserk. It'll help you out thin crowds to get the job done faster/safer without wasting a bullet. However it depends what baddies your brawling with 0 Share this post Link to post
