Title: What about original Former Humans names?
Post by: Blade on January 28, 2008, 12:42

I was always wondering why all monster names are used as they were in DooM, while Zombiemans, Shotgunguys and HWDs are Former Humans. What do you think about original names of them?

Actually...in the original Doom they WERE called former humans and former sergeants.  In Doom 2 they're called differently at the end of the game.  But I'm pretty sure if you check the manuals 'which I lost a loooong time ago :S' for Doom 2/Final Doom, they still call them formers.

My Collector's edition manuals call them "Former Humans" etc., but I think both names are valid.

But I say: leave them as they are now. I got used to this.
