No. Being able to damage walls at all is based on damage type: melee, bullet, shrapnel, and piercing damage will have no effect.  And though other weapons have the possibility of damaging walls, most walls reduce all damage by 10 (possibly to 0), so weapons like the plasma rifle may still be unable to damage the wall despite having an effective damage type.

So the achievement to "Clear out The Wall on AoMr or AoB" would require either phase items or some kind of nuke/invulnerability combo then?

An early Hellwave Pack could do it on both, I think. In theory; I'm not sure it can spawn in time. Or, for AoMr, the Anti-Freak Jackal or a High Power Blaster could poke through.

I've actually tried using a Hellwave Pack on The Wall: it broke through every layer but one, which really sucked. (Could have been a bad roll, who knows.) Brick Silver doesn't seem to like me at all, though.

Why are there lost souls on dlvl26 in Kristopher's mortem? JC nerf on lower difficulties or something?

I notice some people post their stats in their signature prefaced by a version number (as I'm attempting to copy now).  Does that mean the players get wiped with each version?

Also, has anyone figured out a way to get this to work in full-screen on Windows 7?  I tried DOSBox but it said the game can't be run in DOS mode.  (For those of you that don't have Windows 7, they disabled full screen for the console for whatever stupid reason)

Nope, you can carry your player.wad (the file that contains all your stats) over into the next versions.

You could probably use Necklace of the Eye. It's a roguelike frontend with cool stuff.

Can you win AoRA by waiting for the automatically dropped nuke to blow up, or does it have to be your own?

If you reach Phobos Arena, you've already won. That's the one major upside to AoRA: you don't have to prepare for the final fight at all if you don't care about score.

Not only does player death make all armed nukes instantly explode (thus causing a partial victory if you're on floor 25) but attempting to arm 'your own' nuke while the 5 minute nuke is still counting down will result in a message along the lines of 'Are you crazy!?' and you wont be allowed to do it.

Playing doom >....> and i was wondering... if i get a perk, thats blocked by another perk later. is that perk blocked if i get the other perk.. i.e.
Son of a Bitch is blocked in Sharpshooter.
so if i get Son of a Bitch now, will sharpshooter still be open later?

No; if a master trait blocks traits, those traits cannot be taken at ANY point in the run, neither before learning the master nor after it.

If a moderator could merge this with the QQ thread (located here), that would be excellent. Also, welcome to the forums!
