Aki:
Well, Whenever i play through on a NORMAL game, not a challenge game, I always see the following:
1 or 2 commandos throughout the game
Loads of rocket ammo
Hardly any Cells.

Whenever I play through (apart from clearing Mortuary) I never get a plasma rifle, and if i get one, i have no ammo.
maybe something like this could work:
A) Reduce rocket ammo, and put more cells in.
B) Make a few more commandos appear.
C) Make BFG Harder to get, and put more cells in the game in general.

And about unloading Commandos guns-I only see like 2 a game.

DaEezT:
Well, cells are food for the BFG and thus should not be abundant. I personally never had the feeling that cells are too rare. You can get quite a few in various special levels and from unloading commando weapons and there are also a few cells lying around here and there.
Rockets also seem fine as they are the only pratical way to blast through walls.

Maybe you like blowing up stuff too much and end up destroying cells along the way ;)

Aki:
i only use the RL on the wall, and picking off barons/HK.
Mabye use some other form of ammo for the BFG?

What about the Halls of Carnage?
I use the RL mostly agains enemies that don't carry items or groups of enemies. Clearing an arach cave by hitting 3 or 4 of them every time you fire the launcher is quite rewarding :D

Nah, it's fine now. If you really want a plasma rifle or enough cell ammo there are enough ways already.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)Beating the arena gives cells
Hell's Armory contains more cells than you can carry :p
Halls of Carnage contain BFG + cells
Mortuary contains adv. BFG/plasma + you can camp commandos
Cells ar not common in normal levels so you have to earn them by beating special levels or save every little bit you find on normal levels. But then again they are ammo for the BFG so they should be less common than ammo for weaker weapons.
I think it's fine now.

PS: I'd think twice about "B) Make a few more commandos appear." because sometimes whishes come true....

Malek Deneith:
Well the one ammo problem I see is the fact that after some level 10mm and shotgun shells start to be hard to get - which is nasty if you play using pistol/chaingun/shotgun... It'd be nice to see ocasional "Ammo Storage Rooms" (rooms like vaults, but packed with ammo - the ammoun of ammo could depend on how deep you are and how rare the ammo is)
