Guest Mauler Posted January 4, 2001 I have a question that only the veterans can ask, I mean the guys who played the Doom shareware the day it came out. When you heard that Doom II was coming out, what did you think about it then? Were you dissapointed when it came out? Were you dissapointed that there was only one new gun and seven new enemies? There were no engine improvements, what did you think about that? I have only been playing Doom for about a year, and besides I am more of a Quaker than a Doomer (even though I still love Doom), so I don't know what it was like. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Dark_Fox Posted January 4, 2001 Very dissapointed.. Aside from a few good things, the levels where udder crap.. Quake should have been Doom II (Changes being made) 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest RTC Marine Posted January 4, 2001 although i heard "Doom 2 has a few more optimizations to the engine code" when it came out in my time, but i still don't know if its true! 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted January 4, 2001 I just remember that it was sooooooo long from news that Doom2 was to be made to it's release ! Rather similar to what is happening with Doom3 now :) 0 Share this post Link to post

The first Doom 2 release was 1.666, whereas I think Doom 1 was on an earlier version at that time, so technically it did have engine optimisations :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest NiCoTiNe Posted January 4, 2001 I was totally unaware of doom2's release at the time until I walked into a game shop and saw a doom demo running on one of their show comps. Curious I ventured forth and pressed the ESC key to bring up the menu, when I saw the title 'DooM II' I almost shot my wad. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gautigoth Posted January 4, 2001 Well, I think that the big difference might have been about space. Doom II allowed higher levels than Doom I. If you think about it Doom II has more space and a more varied setting in the environments than the original one. Pardon my bad English, but I just wanted to set those classic facts straight. If I'm wrong I'm sure there is someone out there to tell me... 0 Share this post Link to post
