Hell's Football Special Level (Football here refers to the American version, not the usual one we are all familiar with.)O.O
In this special level, you start on one end of a mostly empty arena (which might have some 4x3 pillars that are destructible). On the far end of the level is a room with indestructible walls and a single door (and the stairs down ho ho ho). Behind you, two tiles away, is a standard demon. Your task is to lead the demon into the room on the far end (the Corral) and close the door behind you. Your reward is a Megasphere that will appear in the Corral when the demon is successfully in the room with the door closed.
But watch out! Guarding the room are four Barons of Hell, with the intention of killing the demon (and you of course!). At any time, once the demon dies, you will never be able to get the reward, since it's impossible to have it resurrect so that you can lead it into the room.
Good luck trying to score the touch down for Hell's Football!
The downside? You might become a Cyberdemon eventually. Who knows?In terms of gameplay, how is that a downside? :>
Angel of Min Carnage
"I'm the most unluckiest man alive."
You are a decent marine, having decent aim and all. But whatever weapons you use, you always cause minimum damage. In this Bizarro world twist, everyone and everything does the minimum possible damage while leaving hit percentages untouched.
That's one long way down...
Melee build anyone? Brute and Vampire would go a loooong way making this easy.Assuming you don't get bored with the killing... >.>

I am Death Incarnate! difficulty:
In addition to all normal enemy bonuses on UV, enemies deal twice as much damage and take no friendly fire (including splash). All Former Humans are replaced with Former Captains, and all Hell Knights are replaced with Barons of Hell. Finally, the Cyberdemon's rocket launcher is replaced with a quad-fire chaingun (meaning 16 shots at once) and 400 ammo to boot, and is invulnerable to nuclear damage. Enjoy your stay! (Secretly, JC would have the same changes, in case someone thinks they're being clever.)
And before you say anything, no, this wouldn't be pleasant to play at ALL. I just like the Wolf3d reference.
Angel of Sheer Bad Luck
You are the unluckiest sonofabitch in the marines. All of Hell is against you (doing maximum damage with maximum accuracy), while you are mediocre at best (minimum damage, no accuracy bonuses). Medpacks don't work well with your lousy constitution (heals at 50% of what the medpack usually heals), and you have no bloody idea how to use any of those globes and spheres out there (none of the globes and spheres work, not even automap). Everything you pick up is always weakened (half the number of dice for damage dealing weapons, half the stack of the magazine/clip if it has one, and half the durability for armours/boots), and phase devices just blow up in your face (phase and homing phase devices cause 10HP damage upon pick up). And may God help you if you pick up a thermonuclear device (50% chance of going off immediately on pick up).
At least that environment suit works fine...
And may God help you if you pick up a thermonuclear device (50% chance of going off immediately on pick up).What God? The RNG? Naaah...

Unique Lever: The Vertical Stick
And it should summon Lady Gaga. Or at least flood the level with something if you pull it repeatedly.
New consumable: Opium (common, way too common)No, this sounds very reasonable. Instead of making the player blind, it'd be more accurate to make every action take twice as long. Then give the player a breathe command and if they go to long forgetting to breathe, they die. It's very important for breathing not to display any messages, so there is no way to tell how long it's been since your last breath.
Causes you to be unable to die, even if your health hits zero. Vision drops to zero, cannot fire weapons, and you will move randomly (or not at all). You will die instantly if you consume more than one at a time. Lasts for 40 actions (normal time).
Paint mod pack. It doesn't increase any stats, but your flaming decal BFG has never looked so cool.
Better yet: "Red paint mod", which makes your guns fire/armor movespeed THREE times faster/, because you think it's possible! Clap your hands if you believe, indeed.Not right... red armour makes you slower.

Angel of HallucinationOh the fond memories from my Nethack days...
Too many magic mushrooms make doomguy one confused bugger.
In this mode, it's truly a roguelike -- you can only tell that there is something on the ground, but you don't know what it is.
And you can tell something is after you, but you don't know what it is that is attacking you...
Oh geez, the number of these that I'd have would be downright shameful, I'm sure.

Well, if you aren't walking into enemies to attack with it, how can it be called a melee weapon?Grappling hook.

Forget about those weird episodes. Armed with a random assortment of weapons, you take on the Bruiser Brothers, Cyberdemon and the Spider Mastermind one after another.
If you somehow manage a full win on this, congratulations!
Unique: Slayer's BladeGreat for pain elemental cave farming! ;)
"Have fun."
Damage: 5d4
Accuracy: auto-hit, 100%
Unmoddable.
If you have the Slayer's Blade in your equipped slot (or prepared slot with MMB), you cannot berserk. At all. Berserk packs won't work, Berserker won't proc and if you're berserked when you pick the SB up, you calm down.
However, whenever you score a hit on an enemy, you get a +1 to melee ToDam. This accumulates, so you may very well be dealing 5d4+30 when you're fighting the Angel of Death.
Every three actions you take that do not involve hitting an enemy or being hit in melee by an enemy, you lose one melee ToDam (does not drain any melee damage boost from Brute).
As an added bonus, whenever you have a ToDam bonus that is above 20, you will leave pools of blood wherever you walk.

Actually, the easiest mode, since Pain Elementals don't do damage on their own.And because it's impossible to kill them all, because they just spawn more, also impossible to complete :>
Angel of Modern FPS GamesApart from the last few points involving money, this smells like a mod waiting to be made!
a bunch of technical stuff
if I understand game mechanics correctly, the next turn does not start while there is a creature with more than 5000 energy, and each action decreases the acted creature's energy count by its length in milliseconds. So, in case the Doomguy will receive a 15000 energy boost, he will have free actions while his energy will be above 5000, and the turn counter won't advance, and any turn-aligned special procs won't work, be it nuke, lava/acid wave, N! respawning or monster regen.
Player armor regen uses player actions count, so it WILL proceed - but it's logical, as the time is not stopped for the player, the same with health decay, while I'm not sure which event triggers deadly chill.

When hell freezes over, the floor should turn slippery. You can't move normally, and have to fire a weapon in the opposite direction in which you want to move. Pistols/rapid fire weapons move one space per shot, shotguns move damage/4 spaces, and rocket launchers and BFGs move you in the same direction until you hit a wall/monster.What about pure melee like AoB? How'd you move then?
Grappling boots allow you to move normally. Explosions that deal upwards of 25 damage should remove the icy floor from the spaces that such damage was dealt to.
What about pure melee like AoB? How'd you move then?You would need a _lot_ a knives to throw ;).
You would need a _lot_ a knives to throw ;).THAT IS NOT WHERE I GOT THIS IDEA FROM WHAT MADE YOU SAY THAT you got me
By the way,rings a bell here ;).Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Better: Each time you moved, you'd move automatically every (move_speed x 0,9) in the same direction until you hit an impassable tile (or ran out of momentum). Finally a way to chainfire and dodge at the same time =)
Moving in a different diraction while this movement happens would adjust the vector accordingly, moving in the same direction would increase the speed of automatic movement (with some upper limit) and moving in the opposite direction would cause you to fall and be unable to change do anything until the automatic movement stops.
BTW, to make this realistic, non-flying monsters would have to be subject to this as well... demons would be hilarious like this, though what I'd really love to see is the cyberdemon slipping on frozen-over hell floor and sliding across the map.
THAT IS NOT WHERE I GOT THIS IDEA FROM WHAT MADE YOU SAY THAT you got me;-D
If I was any good at modding, I would attempt something like that, based on rocketjumps. Alas ...OMG, rocketjump training map?! Someone should actually try to do this.
that thing is just too dam long to play without any saves. Imagine a blackout at AoPu N! within this challenge - POOF, about three days of playing are gone. I expect that saving should be allowed at the very start of each challenge on each difficulty (maybe except N! as it's Nightmare!)
Die Hard Medal: Awarded for finishing the game without wearing boots.
[note about how something inconvenient during the N! challenge would kill days of playing]
[suggestion that saving be allowed, except on N!]
Die Hard Medal: Awarded for finishing the game without wearing boots.+1, just for the reference.
Actually not a bad idea.
Ander Hammer, you should read descrtiption of the entire "gauntlet", and find out it includes HNTR/HMP/UV plays throughout every challenge. So, in case of a said game got ruined to a blackout at N! somewhere, the unfortunate player will be able to restart from last UV challenge, without taking HNTR/HMP/UV first.
Female Marines (DoomGirls?)DoomGirls have been suggested on several occasions, I'm not going to bother digging up those threads. The conclusion of most of them is that gender could be set in the config.lua, but it presents some string problems, such as trait names and descriptions. Son of a Gun/Bitch and Dualgunner both have an obviously masculine trait name or make reference to "babes" (not going to sift for the exact wording). Also all the personal pronouns in mortem files (He was an Angel of.... He was a real killing machine.... etc).
You want to play a doomgal, put a femme name when prompted for one. This achieves exactly as much as a gender option would.Did you read this at all:
Mainly because I feel bad for a DoomGuy if I just give him a girls name and pretend. Because I can't help thinking: "clearly he was a guy, its just he got given a girly name by his squadmates". :D
Sure the characterization is a little thin, but Doomguy is still a character, just like Mario, Sonic, Lara Croft, etc. are characters (and you can't change their genders at will).

You play all the challenges one by one from HNTR, in increasing difficulty of the challenge (new difficulty ratings in next release). Then you play them on HMP. Then UV. Then N!.
You cannot save; you cannot die. You may bring one weapon, one stack of ammunition for that (if needed), one armour and one set of boots between each challenge. You may retain only 1 Advanced trait taken between each challenge; but if it blocks some master trait, that trait will be block.
When you die, you start the gauntlet all over again.

Angel of PerfectionJust when I wondered to propose this challenge, with 2DevsOut difficulty rating. You, sir, read my mind :-D.
You only have 1 hit point. Ironman, TaN and Badass are blocked.
2Dev, it's enough to block Bad and Iro with this, because regardless of TaN levels, if you're hit, you are hit for 1 damage at least, which is enough to get killed.It's better if it's blocked, because why would someone spend a point in a trait that doesn't work? Leaving it activated would be an unneccesary thing to do, as one can accidentally choose it.
It's better if it's blocked, because why would someone spend a point in a trait that doesn't work?To get to some Master trait.
Question: Has anyone actually managed a Zero Damage run?You mean other than 2Dev?
Indeed; Marines still get the shot at Survivalist if the traits aren't blocked, which then negates scratch damage.2Dev has (twice, perhaps three times):

BTW, is the gothic armour set actually good for anything? I only managed to get both pieces recently and... it was funny. I was thinking that maybe the lack of mobility would be offset by some bonus to resistances or armour (great for entrenched technicians, I think) but I didn't notice anything like that.

Cigarette packShould drain 1HP per use or something along those lines.
Again a consumable, that takes 120s to use, and it's use is interrupted and lost if the player takes damage. However, you rest when you smoke, so a fully smoked cigarette recovers your fatigue from tired to cautious.
