There's a huge difference, whereas in Doom you can easily charge a large group of monsters and survive by dodging, here, you'll get roasted the instant you try.
Partly because of not being able to move while you shoot.
Also the indirect shotgun fighting, wheareas in Doom it's the weapon of preferance overall, here it's the corner-shot weapon of preferance.

And the little fact that the double shotgun doesn't do 2d4x20 (3d5 in Doom) damage. :x
But yes, values.. Values..

Sambojin:
I guess you were refering to the fact that height actually had very little to do with Doom. It looked 3d, but sort of wasn't. You could still play quite effectively with just a keyboard, never having to use mouse-look for aiming if you didn't want to. Except that mouse-look was better (strafing circles are far easier with the mouse).

On the easiness of mancubi, I probably should qualify the statement a little. One or two mancubi can be dodged at least a bit. A pack of them is rocket-instant-death even if you dodge the first barrage enough to not get wall splattered. Wall splattering will probaly follow regardless, especially if there's a vile or revenant around auto blasting/raising as well.

Say, as a stupid little challenge/medal suggestion, we could have one where you have to carry 13 archvile heads to cybie. Just an equipment room negation medal, with a little flavour and a bit of randomness in aquiring enough heads to complete it (and less backpack room if you do). Alter the number (or bodyparts) required to make it harder as required. Six each of mancubi/revenant/archvile parts would make for a nice medal with the number connection, but might be a lot easier than "x" amount of vile heads.

Just a thought (that should have gone into the challenge ideas thread admittedly).
