If you could replace the Revenant's attack with anything else of your choice, what would it be?

[BladeWolf]

Because, why not? Me personally I absolutely abhor their 60-damage guided missiles flying straight at me, it would be a cooler option to replace em with dual chainguns or dual plasma weapons.

[Silhouette 03]

 I’d replace the projectile with a giant middle finger, as the devs intended.

I'd replace it with projectile bones, like a prototype to the Zombies in Quake that fling their own flesh. It would move faster than their missiles but always go straight and do no more than 40 damage at worst.

[Pompeji]

I'd have them be called "Ghouls" and they wouldn't wear armor. Just skeletons that charge the player down and punch them. Also give them a screech "Attack" that when used alerts all monsters that can hear it to the player's immediate location, even the ambush monsters(this means that they will still wait to attack only if they see the player, but "alert" ambush monsters wake up when the player can see them in general, even if the player is behind them). Maybe also have a flag for these new Ghoul monsters called "Loud" which makes them screech immediately when they spot the player instead of randomly.

Is that, in any way, inspired by Ghoul's Forest 3??

[CyberHog]

I'd replace it with a guided missile that deals 120 damage.

Nope, never heard of it. Inspired by Screamer zombie from 7 Days to Die. She spawns in when the player is creating too much "Heat", by using forges, shooting guns, and generally being loud. When she spots the player, she screams, which spawns a horde of zombies.

Cool concept! GF3 is a really old horror wad, it's a bonafide classic.

we have demons with pistols shotguns chain guns rockets and plasma 

so why not a bfg demon

[Altazimuth]

I wouldn't.

[vyruss]

Revenants are hateful.  Therefore, I propose they behave similarly to the Pain Elemental, except they spawn a Chaingunner in addition to firing a guaranteed homing rocket that deals no less than 60 damage (up to 140, why not?) and moves a few units faster per tic.

Because that would be unfair. Doom 2's bestiary is fair but can be cruel at times. A BFG demon would cross the line to 'completely unfair and cruel'. Plus the BFG is meant to be OUR power weapon, not the demons' power weapon.

The closest thing demons could ever come to a BFG would be the unmaker (considering it is a demonic weapon, we can always have the assumption that the weapon has been used by demons in the past).

[omx32x]

with the vore projectile from quake with splash damage and a base damage of 150

[seed]

Nothing, they're good as they are.

[xX_Lol6_Xx]

A lower damage output, like holy shit man, I always get near max damage rolls (60-80) from those guys.

 

 

^{That means Rng hates me :(}

[baja blast rd.]

I wouldn't, but if I had to, 8d8 damage (8-64) with no other changes.

I unironically want that as an enemy. Stronger former sarge. That being said, he looks goofy hahaha.

 I've said it before, and I'll say it again: That wad inspires me due to the fact that I cannot consciously make a wad with design that bad. Really raises my self-esteem as a mapper. It's not about the beginner aspects and mistakes that makes me angry, it's the fact that the author wanted to gain some traction by dubbing this as a plutonia sequel. Either that or the author really had very little experience in mapping. This video should do it justice:

If instead of attacking they constantly made me bowls of Kraft dinner upon sight then we'd be best of friends 

 

We can share pajamas and watch movies and party all night long brother
