Silly detail.

Post by DoomDude2009 »

Any idea why your Doom character wears gloves while carrying a gun but then his hands are naked while punching? it was a bit dumb to overlook that detail. :shock:

He likes to feel the flesh breaking with his bare skin, but doesn't want blisters on his hand from the friction with his steaming hot weapons.

His gloves would cushion the impact enough that it wouldn't do enough damage :P

You know, years ago I used to think the gloves were his hands :lol:

Doom 64, 1.

Classic Doom, 0.

Doomguy in Doom 64 wore gloves when he dealt out his knuckle sammiches. ;)

In Classic Doom, he uses that sharp piece of metal (brass knuckle/nail ?) to jab monsters with. He can't wear that piece of metal if he wears gloves...it'll be too tight.

The gloves are off

At least that's what it always meant to me.

As well as the practicality of wearing a "knuckle duster" without the gloves.

Probably the same reason he's right handed with the Shotgun, SSG, chainsaw, and punching. But left handed with the pistol.

Also, where does he get the knuckle duster on his hand from? No way he's wearing that under his gloves.

But isn't his right hand still naked too, he only punches badies with the left.

I think it's better if his right hand remains naked. I think it would be wierd if you see his right hand with a glove, punch, and then you see a naked left fist.

Plus, if I was Doomguy, I wouldn't like wearing a glove on just one hand. It doesn't feel right; it's either gloves for me or no gloves. I wouldn't want my right hand to be sweating more than my left. :P

He probably has it stashed in his pockets or something.
