Did the vanilla game had revenant launchers that you could equip, Dragonslayer, Trigun, Butcher's Cleaver, Former Commandos, barrels of napalm...
I meant vanilla as in vanilla DoomRL. And true the stuff you mention wasn't in original Doom but for some reason it's easier for me to swallow than the monster you suggested. Don't ask why, call me weird if you want it just is :P

Personally, I'm against this idea, too. I see two major cons:

1) A monster like this would probably be in conflict with the rest of the game's content. DoomRL is quite an abstract game (for example, we have a trait that literally gives you ammo out of air). Security officer, on the other hand, is a detailed monster - adding him would break the level of abstraction the rest of the content operates on. Incidentally, I didn't like the inclusion of Pancor Jackhammer into the game as well, for the same reason.

2) Doesn't sound quite doomish enough (which is the reason we don't have assault rifles and the like in the game)

So, in my opinion, such ideas are excellent meat for mods, but do not fit well into vanilla.

So... what... you'd be OK with the Jackhammer if only Kornel were to change its name to "automatic shotgun" and remove all references to the Pancor Corporation, I take it? Seriously, that's a pretty dumb notion...

Funnily enough yes, I consider such a variant to be better. Seems to be working fine for Assault Shotgun, doesn't it? But of course, this is all subjective.

That's a damned fine point.
Also, what about JC? Because the severed head belonged to Romero.

I think that monster is ideal for the Doomiverse. On a scientific-military like UAC you have soldiers, scientists and security personnel. You still have your level of abstraction, it's not the "Kyle, former high ranked security officer, contractor from Kamaz corporation ltd." it is just "former security officer". That's all.


Oh yeah, Kornel might also impelement such mini-boss <hahaha>

Agreed. Also agree on that the cell based weapon should deal half damage to the Former Security Officer and half to its shield.

But still we have to wait for Kornel's decision [;

As for my scientist,H must be a sign,also might be a weapon user. Fierce enemy, like demon(pinky), and should attack you when he sees you, no matter his gun is loaded or no(charge!).
I think h suits it much better. As well as h for the engineer idea (I seem to always with associate yellow with engineers) and h for the security officer.

Your fringe logic does not work.

How do you kill it on AoSg?

In addition, you can kill every enemy with every weapon type relativly easily/normally, except the BOSS MONSTER AoD. (That's the point, btw.)

Plasma Knife
4d3
Acc.: +2
Pickup quote:'What the hell is this thing?';
Inv. quote:'Must be some sort of experimental weapon...'
Sp. Fire: Throws knife.
Special: Instead of Physical damage like most other melee weapons, it deals Plasma damage. The difference is outlined somewhere on the wiki, but it amounts to "Armor is reduced by half before being applied."

You know I actually like this idea. It could be rather handy in AoB.. But a knife?

Plasma cuts armor in half, and this way we have more than just the Chainsaw and Butcher's Cleaver for the lead up to UC.

And lightsaber was already cut down for not being doomish enough or something.
