PhantomTMac Posted July 7, 2016 Not sure how many people will agree with me here, but I find the maps in DOOM 1 to be much more creative and enjoyable than the maps in DOOM 2. However, DOOM 2 introduced a lot of elements that perfected the DOOM engine. 0 Share this post Link to post

Allow me to go back through the entire DoomWorld forum scouting for threads on this topic. xP Voros said:That's actually a very popular opinion. AFAIK that is. Perhaps you're right. I guess I just haven't seen much love for the first game's design. The second one had some cool maps, but a lot of them feel dull and uninspired at times. *Cough* Underhalls... 0 Share this post Link to post
RUSH Posted July 7, 2016 The whole Doom vs Doom II thing has got to be the most popular argument ever. There will still be threads on this in 2025. And nobody will ever be right or wrong. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted July 7, 2016 PhantomTMac said:However, DOOM 2 introduced a lot of elements that perfected the DOOM engine. Now, THAT's debatable at best. All it did was introducing 1 new weapon, new monsters and linedef actions, but as far as the engine went, Heretic and Hexen were far more innovative, within limits ofc. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted July 7, 2016 Maes said:All it did was introducing 1 new weapon, new monsters. It introduced the SSG, which has become the most iconic weapon for Doom. It introduced the Revenant, which has become an iconic demon of Doom. The rest is debatable. Although, people mostly think Doom 2's disadvantage is the browniness at times, where Doom 1 was a bit more vibrant in color. IMO. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted July 7, 2016 Voros said:It introduced the SSG, which has become the most iconic weapon for Doom. It introduced the Revenant, which has become an iconic demon of Doom. Then the real debate is whether these are "engine features" on par with e.g. freelook, slopes, an inventory system, raised limits, PWAD sprite merging etc. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted July 7, 2016 I too have controversial and unpopular opinions. For example, I believe that pictures of cute baby animals are good. 0 Share this post Link to post
