Originally, I prefered Doom, because Doom was my first FPS, a classic, but lately I find myself leaning toward Strogg and Earth. I like Doom's single-shotty, melee weapons, pistol, and his chaingun, but when I use the rockets and plasma gun, I just feel like I'm spamming. Since these two are his heavy hitters, this stales his play a bit for me.

I like strogg because it has the widest variety of weapons, by far. This leads to the most variation and the most fun, regardless of whether I'm winning or losing. If I don't want to snipe people with the rail, I can challenge myself with his slow-ass rockets, or go for tricky kills with hand grenades. There is no weapon type that strogg doesn't have, other than melee (my only complaint). Stroggs weapons tend to be the most exagerated and most true to their own weapon type. The strogg super shotgun is a very shotgun-ish shotgun; the spread is huge. The explosives are very explosive; wide blast radius and very damaging. The chaingun winds up to an EXTREME ROF. The rail gun is the original, with huge damage and huge reload time. The BFG is like Doom's but even bigger. The shotgun and MG are nice spawn weapons and backups, and when you run out of shells and mags, it nice to be always have a blaster to finish the job, if you're desperate enough. With Strogg, you have a gift for every occasion.

I also like earth because it has some of the most unique weapons. The sniper rifle is the only long range weapon in the game that actually allows you to remain hidden, plus you can do ricochets. The mortar is even faster than the slippy RL, allowing for insta-hits if you aim right, and you can arc over stiarcases and ramps for out-of-sight, under-cover kills. The flame thrower lets you damage your enemy without actually shooting them (once they catch fire), is the ultimate chase deterent, and prevents the enemy from escaping with only a thread of life left. The hand grenades are just like strogg's but it's harder to see them coming. The gats are the ultimate clean up weapon. Unique=fun.

I would like to get better with slipgate some time just because of the potential for weapon combos and insta-switching, plus air control, which are pretty unique features, but rocke-whoring isn't a big insterest of mine, plus whenever I try to strafe jump with slippy I invariably end up in the lava.

First of all, Tabun has already spoken about Earth. Earth is based on Wolf3D, NOT on WWII. Secondly, yes, Tabun looks a lot like Freeman.

Finnaly, someone who knows what JDOOM is!!!

if i have an opportunity to play with you guys, then DooM I shall be. Slippy? I don't think so!

There's one thing here, on this very board, that says it all...


And if you didn't see that one coming, then... well, there's not much to say... Q1, for, life!

  Funny you should mention that ...

Any Barbie fans out there? ~

I'm never gonna look at the Earth class the same way again.

Meanwhile back at the topic, let me just say that I've taken Arena players down with my bare hands (hope somebody got a shot of that on Saturday night), so Slippy shouldn't be too much trouble.

Bah, all those classes are NOTHING against the big-boned Master-Class:

The Sumo Gladiator.

Soon. It'll be one of the first custom games.

me too.

QBALL!
