Veteran = Ulta Violence ? (aka "the skill level thread")

[Deathmatcher]

When I fired up Doom 3 for the first time, I was eager to see if id included the original 5 skill levels with proper naming. I was a little disappointed to see 3 totally new ones. The old names would have added a good deal of originality to the game (like it was the case with RTCW). But after all, I can live with it. The question however, is, which of the new skill levels has which original counterpart. My first guessing would be:

recruit = I´m too young to die/Hey not too rough

marine = Hurt me plenty

veteran = ultra violence

NM = NM

So far, I´ve only completed the game on marine and I haven´t started it on other modes, due to lack of time. Some people here complained about Marine and Veteran skills being too easy (although I found that Marine was a perfect "normal" skill - as opposed to several other fps of the recent past, which seemed to mix up the term "normal" with "hard". So maybe some people here would rather make the following decision:

recruit = I´m too young to die

marine = Hey not too rough

veteran = Hurt me plenty

NM = NM

This would mean that there isn´t a proper equivalent for the all famous "Ultra Violence" anymore and with NM being challenging as ever (25% life cap/no medipacks (good ideas IMO)) there would be a big gab between veteran and NM.
In terms of monster placement, the original Doom had three categories; The first two skills, as well as UV and NM shared the same monster placement. So, what about Doom 3 in this regard? Does every single skill level have individual monster placements this time or do vet/NM share them like UV/NM before?

Looking forward to reading your opinions.

Doom3 follows the Quake 1-2 setup of Easy, Normal, Hard, and Nightmare. I think bringing back the original Doom skill names would have been a nice touch, but oh well.

Also, from what I've seen, I think the main differences between the three different starting skills amounts to damage received. I played through Hell on Skill 0 and 2 without noticing a single difference in the monster placement.

... and while I'm going nuts with the editing, yeah, Veteran skill is a breeze once you get used to the atmosphere. I imagine that if you started on Marine skill, Veteran skill would actually seem EASIER because, despite the increased damage, you can better anticipate the attacks.

So is it possible to select the skill levels a monster is supposed to appear in, in the editor?
