4: can you tell me why the level E3M9 it's just the level E3M1 modified?

1. No clue.
2. Because they didn't have a reason to make him talk. Doom isn't story-based, and Duke Nukem 3D was merely a glitter in someone's eye.
3. Check out the top of this ToastyTech.com page.
4. To freak people out, I guess - it worked.
5. One could argue that it is, but others insist that no, it's just a futuristic pistol. I'm undecided on the issue - I believe that it's inspired by the Beretta, but it's not exactly a Beretta...

1. They came in 3 other colors in multiplayer games.
2. Who would he talk to? Himself?
3. They weren't "inspired" so much as taken right from a picture of some "sugar loaf" mountains in China.

I'm not sure where Kevin Cloud scanned the picture from, but it's from a book that had a nice looking mountain range in it. He was more concerned about having a cool-looking outside sky than a realistic one.

You were supposed to wonder what was going on; you had already been on that level. At the end, you got a big surprise and had to go all the way back to the beginning.

5. Dunno. Can never get a firm answer about this.

What's funny though about E3M1 and E3M9 is right at the beginning. Go to over beside the door until you can see what normally would be the side of the "Keep". It's funny, b/c the hallways and whatnot come from nowhere, a flaw of the engine, yes, but still funny. But it makes sense. It's Hell, stands to reason you'd have doors from nowhere.

1: the space marines suits are green probably beacause green is usually a color you would think of on a soldier. So they used green, but in deathmatch u have all colors.

2: the main character doesnt talk because if he did you wouldnt have the great feeling of bein alone, also who would he talk to??

3: I think thats somewhere in Eastern Asia by the look of the full pic.

4: maybe Id was running out of creativity ;)

5: Dunno...

1. So that they could enter green slime and become hard to see.
2. Demons bit off his tongue.
3. Sky.
4. Already answered by Rom.
5. I don't know.
