What irks you that you see some Doom players do?
For me it must be in situations like Doom's E1M1 in the starting armor room. I always see people running over the two armor pickups above the stairs before picking up the armor.
If you don't get the above, basically the security armor can only be picked up below 100 armor, but sets your armor to 100 when picked up. So picking up armor beforehand is wasted.

>People setting Ambient Light Level retardly high because they're too lazy to get a flashlight mod or see if the supposed gameplay mod have it bundled and break the map's mood completely due to that.
>Use Rocket Launcher on Cyberdemon or Spider Mastermind because nice bro, do you know that they don't take the splash damage of RL and that makes the rockets pretty useless against them?
>There's Barrels on a room and pinkies, but the player SSG them instead and completely ignore the barrels.
>That guys who streams gameplays and you know they are too much casull for Doom because they leave monsters behind which suddently kills them later in the video and they keep complaining the map/mod is too hard.

E2M8 does not give you cell ammo and expects you to land direct rocket hits, which still do a nice amount of damage. Not as much as on a baron, but still decent nonetheless.Zanieon wrote: >Use Rocket Launcher on Cyberdemon or Spider Mastermind because nice bro, do you know that they don't take the splash damage of RL and that makes the rockets pretty useless against them?

Bro, in E3M8 you can literally rush the map in 10 seconds by just pointblanking a BFG on Mastermind's face, and in E2M8 you just spam everything besides rocket in Cyberdemon.Tapwave wrote:E2M8 does not give you cell ammo and expects you to land direct rocket hits, which still do a nice amount of damage.

Anyway, i'm talking in overall aspect, the vanilla maps have their uses for Cyberdemon and Mastermind, but i mean in megawads, specially in coop/survival matches in Zandronum, tons of players do this mistake.

Re: What irks you that you see some Doom players do?
not an option if you're doing pistol starts, though. in both e2m8 and e3m8 you have to use rockets, though you do get a small bit of plasma on e3m8. Not enough for a kill though

- Skipping easy, useful secrets.
- Not switching to the earlier, less wasteful weapons for weak, easy kills.
- Related to the above: Using SSG 24/7.
- Standing around and letting enemies shoot them. Why.
- Not saving ever, then complaining about lost progress. (But that annoys me with any game people do this in.)

Re: What irks you that you see some Doom players do?
If ammo isn't an issue and time is (i.e., being surrounded and I'm trying to get out, or am just generally uncomfortable; Ancient Aliens did this a lot), a SSG or Rocket Launcher is my best friend. I need that DPS!NeuralStunner wrote:Not switching to the earlier, less wasteful weapons for weak, easy kills.

Re: What irks you that you see some Doom players do?
Complaining about how people want to enjoy their game, that's the worst
.
Re: What irks you that you see some Doom players do?
Agreed.
The game is what you make it. I don't know why anyone should be so uptight about it.

And hey, if it irks me, I won't tell them to stop playing. But I don't have to watch them. (I've been thinking of this thread in the context of LPs for some reason...)
(Except for cmplaining because you didn't save. Seriously, save more or live with it.)
