If you could make any item you want, what would it be?

[joe-ilya]

Super Computer area map - Same as the regular one, only you can find secrets and see monsters with it.

Enhanced invisibility - All monsters will shoot 180 degrees of you, lasts 2 times less than the regular one.

Armor pieces - Will grant you 10% armor, acts like the regular armor bonus.

Dehealth bonus - More of an obstacle than an item, will give you (negative)-2% health.

Silencer - Your pistol and shotgun won't wake up monsters upon shooting and will be more accurate.

Radio - Will spawn 3 buddy marines. Each with a shotgun or a chaingun.

For doom? Quad Damage.

[Guest Unregistered account]

The Silencer and Radio sound awesome, although the Radio wouldn't make any sense storywise.

How about a power up that lets you deflect projectiles? Or one that lets you jump?? (I dunno, make up some junk about the default boots being too heavy)

[Fuzzball]

Pretty much anything can be made for Doom with the tools we have... :P

How about something that automatically blocks any mention of brutal doom?

[purist]

Quad damage would be a good fit. Maybe something that temporarily freezes monsters for a short time could have interesting uses too.

[Urthar]

Armour Pieces, Quad Damage and Slow Time would be pretty cool.

I might go for a Pentagram that turns a non boss monster into an ally.

[Havoc Crow]

Aw, I thought the thread was "if you could create any Doom item in real life..." :p

[RichardDS90]

For a mod, an item that makes you a badass. I would want it to give you:
Invincibility
Reflection
Increased speed
Increased attack speed
4x damage
Increased jump height
2000 health
2000 armor at 100% protection
Infinite ammo
Complete ammo refill
Full brightness
Stopping time, invisibilty and flight in the first few seconds
Elemental, radiation and drowning protection after invincibility.

Icon of the Legend seems to be a fitting name.

icon of win

because hey there's no challenge anymore once you pick that up

[General Rainbow Bacon]

Canteen
Life Sphere
Grappling hook

The Canteen would allow you to pick up water when you walk through it and save it for 10 health later.

Life Sphere would prevent one death per level. Like if an attack would have killed you, it stops the damage.

The grappling hook would allow you to aim at a piece of wall and move there.

That's been done already. Name: Super Map.

Well, minus the secrets so nevermind :P

[nxGangrel]

Special gloves that make your fists silent. That would be wonderful.

The fists should be silent by default, really :P

[Deleted_Account]

Crate Disguise - Upon picking up this powerup you become a UAC crate. The effect lasts an entire level! Obstruct enemies without worry, just be sure to avoid narrow openings and whiny Doomers who complain about crates in Doom maps.

[esselfortium]

A katamari ball with which to roll up the map.

Yes please.

Yeah it should. One of my biggest pet peeves of DooM.

[Deleted_Account]

They can hear you punch the air, but they cant hear your running chainsaw. It's no wonder a lone marine was able to slaughter countless demon hordes over and over, including their big boss demon. Add that to the fact that the demons so easily infight each other and have hard time navigating steps.

[VGA]

I would like a powerup to show me which switch I've missed to progress through the map.

[Cupboard]

Definitely the Power Shield concept from Quake 2 the Reckoning. It uses your cell ammunition as an alternative form of armor. Maybe have it only protect you from 33% of damage, and enemies can still damage your health after dealing damage to your jacket armor.

[Ralphis]

A health pack that awards exactly 7 health units

Heavy boots of lead, fills his victims full of dread.

Maybe some kind of confuse would be cool, that makes the player dealt damage to be misdirected for other monsters, so they would infight like crazy.

[Captain Red]

Blink sphere: Basically gives you the blink ability from dishonored.

[Avoozl]

The funny thing is is that the Quad Damage multiplier is set to 3 in Quake 3 Arena.

What's funny about the fist is that Wolfenstein 3D came before Doom and it had a knife which didn't alert enemies. I wonder what id's reasoning for not implementing it into Doom would be if they were asked about it.

Let's not forget the ability to store runesspheres for later use instead of automatically activating them.

[Zulk RS]

How about a "YOU WIN" flag that automatically causes you to win the level.


Jokes aside, I'd like a Giga Sphere, a more powerful version of the mega sphere that gives you 400% heal and armor. The Armor works like the awesome Red armor from Skulltag.

[scifista42]

Partial invisibility which you can turn on and off anytime while it lasts, and which causes monsters to attack less often while you have it on.

I like joe-ilya's Silencer idea for pistol. It would finally make the weapon useful in some situations. Preferably combined with increased damage.
