So many favorites, so few choices.. I'd have to go with: 1 - Zerked Fist: It's the personal touch, really... 2 - Mortar: BOOM! from ANYWHERE  3 - Doom SSG: Nothin says lovin like the greasy remains of whoever stands between this puppy and a wall. |

1. DUAL GATS!!! The ULTIMATE ballistic bloodbath! 2. Berserked Fists: Quick smack in the chops, just to piss the other guy off! 3. Earth Hand Grenades: Perfect for tripping up that nasty BFG-wielding Arena player |

3. Earth Hand Grenades: Perfect for tripping up that nasty BFG-wielding Arena player I think that chainsawing the Arena BFG whore on Entryway was the best kill I ever got.  |

The Strogg Railgun. While it doesn't have the bouce-back of the Earth Sniper Rifle, it has no delay and is a bit easier to use at incredibly long range. I have gotten used to the Earth SR as of late, so my opinion on which is better may change over time. Doubt it though  ~ The Slipgate's Super Nailgun has also grown on me, and i'm sure i'll love it even more in the next version. |

Favorite weapons huh?
1.DooMers Double barrel shotgun-death to he who comes to close.
2.DooMers Rocket launcher-AKA clacker-just a deadly weapon in general
3.Chainsaw-the sound of it finding its mark is enough to make you jump if you didn't see it coming.Not to mention chainsaw "jousts"thats a riot in itself.

I like Doom's single-barrel shotgun a lot. It's deffinitely the best single-barrel in the game (not that there's a lot of competition in that area). Pretty powerfull as a midrange weapon, as double barrels miss much a lot at that range and take longer to reload; works really well on Q3DM4. Plus, I added the sound effect from Doom64, which makes it very satisfying.
The Doom pistol is actually a very reliable finisher because it's so accurate. Just now Grunt had quad and blasted Bitterman with his SSG, somehow Bitterman survived, but before Grunt could finish him off I capped him with my pistol, 1 shot kill.

I really prefer Strogg's single barrel shotty, if we're comparing those. Feels more solid, has a more rounded spread and does plenty of damage. It also sounds better, and I like the model & Strogg style better aswell.. :]

Heh, actually, because I'm using a different sound effect for the Doom shotgun, I put the Gen Doom shotgun sound on the Strogg shotgun. If you listen to the original sound from Q2, they're actually very similar. I used to like the Strogg shotgun, but lately I've felt it to be rather weak. I have yet to go on killing sprees with it like I have with the Doom shotgun. I used to use it a lot in Q2 though; I always had trouble getting to the high-tier weapons, so when people attacked me with railguns I would just kill them with shotguns and machineguns! ~ I agree the Doom shottie looks do seem to be missing something right now. I think Pho's right, the 1st person positioning could be improved. I think if it was higher up and then pointed a little more flat, it would look better. |

Definately.. the Shotgun in doom was.... like Flat-topped... it gave a feel... plus ya know, the cocking of it was cool too...
1) Slippy RL - it's a weapon of mass destruction that causes much shock and awe...
2) Doom RL - Who knew that goodyears could be shoulder-launched?
3) Underwater Thunderbolt - Specifically underwater, because it's just fun!

Oh yes, especially in Doom, the shotty has style. I'm just saying I'm fond of the more futuristic and original design of the strogg shotgun. It's not just picked from a Guns 'n Ammo catalog yadig? :]

The strogg shotgun, with it's straightline configuration and drum magazines, is miles ahead of the Doom shotgun in terms of visual design, I deffinitely agree with you there. Doom's shotgun was a little better in Doom64, where it had black composite furniture. Doom 3's shotgun is looking pretty good, although it's kind of a SPAS-12 knock-off, and IIRC it doesn't have a stock, which makes it look silly as a military weapon.
On that subject the Doom 3 pistol is looking really good. It looks completely original instead of the Berretta look-alike we had in Doom1.

There's nothing wrong with "classic" style pump action wooden-clad shotguns. They're great in their own right, I just think they're a bit out of place on a Martain military base, when such shotguns are allready being replaced today with more modernized shotguns. Even though the military continues to prefer rifle-caliber weaponry, I can deffinitely see them issueing shotguns in setting like security detail on space stations and moon bases, I just don't think they would look like the shotguns you used to shoot ducks with your grandpa.
On the other hand the old wooden shotguns were great for Quake because it had that dark-age look to it, they were like "medeival shotguns"; I just don't think they were as appropriate for Doom.
