Spoiler (click to show/hide)1: Chaingun always ends up being my staple weapon, at least for the early game.
2: I've never gotten the hang of the rocket launcher - too slow to reload. The missile launcher is awesome though.
3: Large med-pack is a lifesaver, of course.
4: All of them have their uses
5: Damage of course, followed closely by reload.
6: A quick reload is usually better than another shot in a tight spot.
7: Armor is damaged quick, and every little bit helps.
8: Mobility is nice to have but protection is better for armor.
9: Mobility is much better on boots as you're almost never in lava.
10: For when you are in lava, protection is much better.
11: The map is so handy for finding the exit, other powerups, items, etc...
12: Not worth the risk usually.
13: Arachnotrons are fun to fight and there's strategy in handling them - do you get up close (where they're harmless) or stay away?
14: I have died so many times to revenant missiles.
15: Huge armor rating + speed + self-repair = fantastic item, even with the life drain.
16: I don't like the rocket launcher as it is, and one with a questionably useful ability and that can't be modded just doesn't seem useful.
17: A good fun challenge for the early game.
18: Just a waste of time and health.
19: Usually easy to navigate and get to cover.
20: Just annoying to find the exit, and it's easy to get blasted around corners.
21: It's easy to control enemies using doors - not everything can open them.
22: Teleporters just seem dangerous as you don't know where they'll take you (into the middle of a lava pool, for instance!)
23: Eagle Eye is just useful for everyone (except maybe shotty users), and unlocks two other awesome traits.
24: Badass isn't as bad as it's made out to be (even one level has a noticeable effect on health decay) but there's just better traits out there. I'd like to see it increase power-up duration or something.
25: UV is a big challenge, it took me many many tries to get anything more than a half win.
26: I wouldn't lower myself to playing ITYTD. :P
27: Playing with pistols is just fun.
28: Never played it but the idea just doesn't appeal to me - it sounds needlessly frustrating, and I like the idea of challenges that require the player to come up with new tactics.
29: Very fun game and very doomy too - I'd like to see more challenge modes, monsters and unique items.
ParaSait:
Okay, I'm now trying my best to get these results ready. Let's say I'm approximatly 85% done, I will complete the rest tomorrow and post the results.
But jeez, the work is much bigger than I thought and my thumb and little finger now really hurt of pressing Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. I would appreciate a small applause a soon as I get this ready =D
THE RESULTS
Here are the DoomRL Poll results! After this post, this topic will only be used to discuss the results; New forms will not be valid anymore.

H) Rocket launcher: #------------------------ 6.67%
I) Plasma rifle: ###---------------------- 13.34%
J) BFG 9000: ------------------------- 0%
K) Chainsaw: #------------------------ 6.67%
0) No Opinion: ------------------------- 0%
- Chaingun seems to be the most loved weapon. Logic, because if you want to do game without any self-challenging intentions, this is your primary weapon for, like, 75% of the game.
The suckiest weapon is definatly the shotgun. Weak damage, unless shot from REALLY close, and you have to reload after every shot... The shotgun should need less damage loss with range!
3/4) F/S item?
F)
A) Small medpack: ------------------------- 0%
B) Large medpack: ##########--------------- 40%
C) Phase device: ------------------------- 0%
D) Homing phase device: ######------------------- 26.68%
E) Envirosuit: ------------------------- 0%
F) Thermonuclear bomb: ######------------------- 26.68%
0) No Opinion: #------------------------ 6.67%
S)
A) Small medpack: #####-------------------- 20%
B) Large medpack: ------------------------- 0%
C) Phase device: ######------------------- 26.68%
D) Homing phase device: ------------------------- 0%
E) Envirosuit: ########----------------- 33.33%
F) Thermonuclear bomb: ------------------------- 0%
0) No Opinion: #####-------------------- 20%
- Competing with Homing phase device and Thermonuclear bomb, the Large Medpack is the best item. There is no better life saver!
Envirosuit is the most useless item. No sane player would just take an acid/lava bath, he will always try to find a way around. It's only really useful in The Lava Pits. Someone also did a good suggestion
that it should protect the player from acid ball attacks from monsters.
5/6) F/S weapon mod?
F)
A) Damage: #######################-- 93.33%
B) Reload: ------------------------- 0%
C) Speed: #------------------------ 6.67%
D) Magazine: ------------------------- 0%
E) Accuracy: ------------------------- 0%
0) No Opinion: ------------------------- 0%
S)
A) Damage: ------------------------- 0%
B) Reload: #####-------------------- 20%
C) Speed: ------------------------- 0%
D) Magazine: ##########--------------- 40%
E) Accuracy: ######------------------- 26.68%
0) No Opinion: ###---------------------- 13.34%
- Well, I think this is pretty clear! If you think of the word "Weapon Mod", automatically your first thought would be a damage improver. Same goes for DoomRL it seems!
The most useless mods are Magazine and Reload. Reloading takes a fairly short time in DoomRL, so seriously, who really needs those? Magazine is only useful for the BFG9K, during the Cybie battle.
7/8) F/S armor mod?
F)
A) Durability: #############------------ 53.36%
B) Protection: ########----------------- 33.33%
C) Mobility: #------------------------ 6.67%
0) No Opinion: #------------------------ 6.67%
S)
A) Durability: #####-------------------- 20%
B) Protection: ------------------------- 0%
C) Mobility: ################--------- 66.66%
0) No Opinion: ###---------------------- 13.34%
- Durability is the most loved one. Because we all feel really sad if our Red Armor gets destroyed =)
Mobility, really, who the hell needs that? The improvement you get from is even hardly noteable...
9/10) F/S boots mod?
F)
A) Durability: #------------------------ 6.67%
B) Protection: ########----------------- 33.33%
C) Mobility: ###############---------- 60%
0) No Opinion: ------------------------- 0%
S)
A) Durability: ##########--------------- 40%
B) Protection: ###########-------------- 46.64%
C) Mobility: ------------------------- 0%
0) No Opinion: ###---------------------- 13.34%
- For Boots, however, mobility is the greatest mod! Because standard boots have no real profit, unless you like walking into hazardous terrain types, and they can only slow you down. So why not make them more
mobile?
The suckiest boot mods are Durability and Protection. Boots are rarely damaged a lot, most player always keep them at about 90%, so SERIOUSLY, Durability can only waste your mobility slot...
11/12) F/S powerup?
F)
A) Small health globe: ------------------------- 0%
B) Large health globe: ------------------------- 0%
C) Invunerability globe: ########----------------- 33.33%

I) Backpack: ###---------------------- 13.34%
0) No Opinion: ########----------------- 33.33%
- The invunarability globe rocks! It gives you the opportunity to escape from crappy situations, or score some melee kills even when you aren't trained for it.
Most people seem to have no opinion on the suckiest powerup.
13/14) F/S enemy?

A) Former human: #------------------------ 6.67%

0) No Opinion: ------------------------- 0%
- The favourite enemy is the former captain; Naturally because if you kill one, you are rewarded with the favourite weapon!
And the suckiest: ARGH IT'S THE ARCH VILE! Pretty obvious, I assume? ;)

- Best unique seems to be the holy, super rare Malek's Armor. You can praise your self happy when you find this one!
The suckiest unique are the Butchers Cleaver(Gah, it's just... an improved knife) and the minigun(Which can't hit the broad side of a barn!).

- Hell's Armoury rocks! THE ideal shopping mall for useful stuff that you didn't fetch (enough) on normal levels.
The most dreaded levels are The Wall and The Lava Pits. The Wall is for people with a death wish, The Lava Pits... just... suck. Surprisingly, the mortuary seems not to be hated at all!
EDIT: Forgot to comment the Suckiest Enemy. It's now fixed.

E) Maze of rooms: ------------------------- 0%
0) No Opinion: ------------------------- 0%
- The favourites are Hellish City and Maze of Rooms. That first one really gives people the thought that they are destroying the homes of those oh-so-hated creatures from hell. Awesome!
The suckiest are Maze and Arena. Maze is way to hard to navigate in, and it gives people cramps in their right hand, and Arena is purely designed to taunt players; You're surrounded by monsters and you
have absolutely no cover, except four small pillars!!

- The Barrel! Who doesn't like to bomb walls and hellspawn? =) The only bad thing about it is that it also might get YOU into a deadly situation, these boys can really hurt you a lot.
The most useless terrain type is the teleporter. Why did Kornel even bother implementing this? It's only really useful in the Spider's Lair...

- The opinions are pretty much divided for the favourite trait. However, the winner seems to be Dualgunner though. Dual pistols, heeell yeah =D
The people seem to agree with the suckiest trait, though! Read the first three letters of "Badass" and you see what the people think of it.

- It's like a stairway; The harder it gets, the more it's loved. However, Nightmare is a bit too much.
... And that's why Nightmare is the most dreaded difficulty level, too. It's simply ridiculously hard.

Here it's AoB vs. AoD vs. AoM... And the winner is: AoB! Congratulations AoB, YOU SUCK!
29) Give DoomRL a score from 0 to 10!
