Doommarine_maxi Posted September 10, 2013 Hi, I want to share this for you. Chainsaw only gameplay of Doom 1 Episode 1: E1M1 and E1M2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI-qlMhO7E0 E1M3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHLH_xgvhY4 I'm a noob with chainsaw, but was so fun do it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vermil Posted September 10, 2013 You also know there is a cheat code that just gives you the chainsaw and not blue armour etc (i.e yourself used IDKFA); 'IDCHOPPERS'. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted September 10, 2013 How come there's not a specialized category for chainsaw-only gameplay, e.g. "Doom Leatherface", akin to "Doom Tyson" only that the use of any weapons except the chainsaw is prohibited (exceptions maybe for E2M8 and the such)? 0 Share this post Link to post

According to the Doom wiki, the Chainsaw is allowed in Tyson runs. http://doomwiki.org/wiki/UV_Tyson 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted September 10, 2013 huge chainsaw fan here. I could probably do the whole game. 0 Share this post Link to post

While some enemies would be easier to kill (zombies pinkies, imps, lost souls, PEs and even revenants and cacos), the "sucking" effect would make it harder to fight against pretty much everything else that has a nasty melee. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted September 11, 2013 What about a "fist only" category? No chainsaw, no pistol. "Pure Tyson". I can imagine it is quite difficult in maps with no Berserk and hitscanners, for example. 0 Share this post Link to post
Acid Posted September 11, 2013 http://doomwiki.org/wiki/UV_Tyson There exist collections of demos recorded with additional restrictions (on levels where they are possible), such as not becoming invulnerable, playing with fast monsters (also called "Grandmaster" or "GM Tyson" style), using only the fist and berserk fist, or using only the chainsaw. These distinctions are not recognized by Compet-N. Also, you have to fire the weapons in some levels to trigger gunfire lines, but I'm not sure if that breaks any rule (for those interested in a nothing-but-melee run). 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted September 11, 2013 @BloodyAcid: I think that gunfire-triggered actions also work with the fist, like those switches that you can shoot or "punch", is that correct? 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonsbrethren Posted September 11, 2013 They do, but you'd have no choice but to use the pistol if a vital switch was placed outside of melee range. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted September 11, 2013 You're right, I don't know why the hell I don't think about that stuff when I post. So, this kind of categories may render some levels impossible, right? Like a “BFG only“ category. No BFG in the level, so you make it Pacifist, or you just can't do it. That sounds interesting. BTW: What about Nightmare Reality? 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted September 11, 2013 Now imagine doing chainsaw only on -fast mode. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

RL-only sounds more interesting ;-) I'm confident that however many crazy restrictions you place for a run (e.g. RL or nothing, no healing, "stealth pacifist" etc.) you will always find someone with enough time/not enough of a life to try it -and master it! 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted September 11, 2013 Apparently, this was discussed here years ago. 0 Share this post Link to post
