Obligatory "to defeat the cyberdemon, shoot it until it dies".

 

I watched this video on enemy priority yesterday and found it very interesting. A lot of fights boil down to identifying threats and then dispatching them in the correct order. The video goes into depth on this, also giving examples of cases in which the priorities might change.

edit: You improve by playing. By dying in certain fights you can learn to prioritize, get a handle on the movement, weapon selection, enemy behavior etc.

I'd like an definition of "better player"... Unless you're doing online multiplayer, Doom is mostly single player gaming, where you usually play for your own entertainment. So if a wad is too hard for you, just either change to something easier to play more to "git gud". Atleast that's how I see it.
