Kennychan Posted July 18, 2006 For me, I like to use Plasma gun, BFG , Rocket and Supershotgun. Supershotgun is extremely powerful in short range. One shot, one kill for a doomer BFG can kill several people in the same time. If even the people aren't hit by energy balls, they are seriously injured by radiation emitted by energy ball Rocket ,like BFG, also powerful to doomers. Be carefull, it hurts yourself if it use in short range.( Unless you want to suicide) Plasma gun is a upgraded version of mechine gun. The shooting rate is as fast as Chaingun or minigun. Each energy ball can deduce 10 - 20% health of a doomers. If someone shoot another in short range, the guy who got shot will die in short time. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted July 18, 2006 Lemme see... Well, Shotgun in Doom 1, and SSG in Doom 2 :-) I also use the Shotgun in Doom 2, but only when I need to save on ammo, or "snipe" that imp on that distant cliff, or shoot through windows (the SSG wastes too many pellets on walls in those situations). Chaingun...bah, that's a hot & cold kind of weapon. It's just like shooting your pistol rapidly (including the sound). Was really weedy in vanilla doom, only good vs imps, cacodemons and pail elementals/lost souls (since it kept them at bay) but far too weak and non-painful for anything else. In source ports it seems buffed, for some reason, though. Rocket launcher: everyone like this one, cool even against groups of infantry in closed rooms, if you know what you're doing. Berserker pack: I prefer this over the chainsaw, if available. Lets me wade through those pinkies and even tyson some hell knight/baron and even mancubus/cace with no trouble, thus saving ammo. Very nasty if used through windows/openings vs walking-by baddies :-p Plasma gun: good for crowd control e.g. keeping that bunch of Barons busy, but it's more efficient to use the BFG, if you have it. 40 BFG cells != 40 Plasma cells. BFG-9000: good for solving most "trouble" efficiently and quickly. Can show its limits in too crowded skirmishes, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jodwin Posted July 18, 2006 All but pistol and melee weapons. :P SSG is a definite winner, sure, but they all have their uses. That's why it's better to have "only" 7 weapons instead of that massive +10 in modern games, where every gun has the same use and most of them end up being useless. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Ronge Posted July 18, 2006 Weapon usage is very dependant on the map being played, and the enemies faced. See here ,here, or here. Or here. And so on. 0 Share this post Link to post
nategorga Posted July 28, 2006 In Skulltag, Railgun, but you need to be REALLY acurate, but its an Insta-Gibber. In Everything without SKulltag Weapons, its Shotgun, umm.... because it looks cool. 0 Share this post Link to post
Hellbaron Posted July 29, 2006 Shotgun and SSG. In Doom, they're always the default weapons. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted July 29, 2006 The Supershotgun because it's always there, plus the ammo is plentiful. The other guns I use besides that are the Chaingun and Rocket Launcher. 0 Share this post Link to post
Craigs Posted July 29, 2006 I usually use the shotgun on zombies and imps. When I'm up against a pinky demon, or medium monsters I use the ssg or rocket launcher. I reserve the chaingun for revenants and distant chaingunners. When there is a Cyberdemon, arch vile, or spider mastermind around, I pull out the BFG 9000 or the plasma gun and hose them down with it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted July 30, 2006 I propose a new "what .... do you ... the most" thread. "What type of personal Doom preference thread do you see on these forums the most?" :P For me, it's probably the "what weapon" one closely followed by the "favourite/least favourite monster" ones. 0 Share this post Link to post

The only time I really use the shotgun is when the SSG isn't available, or if I'm up against weaker monsters. Otherwise, I keep the SSG out. If I don't have a shotgun, or a SSG. The Rocket Launcher is my back up weapon. The rocket launcher is great at medium range, but I don't trust it enough at long range. And I sure as hell don't trust it at close range. 0 Share this post Link to post
