pritch Posted November 27, 2001 For me, it's gotta be the single shotgun. I know the double is more than twice a spowerful, but the single is fast enough to keep pounding the bigger creatures out of their wits, and takes care of the weaklings in one shot. It also feels better than any other weapon on any other game to use, nothing in Quake series comes close in my opinion. 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted November 27, 2001 I can't decide between normal shotgun and a super shotgun. They both rock. 0 Share this post Link to post
mr8 Posted November 28, 2001 SSG... Good choice ! The Shotgun too... Noisy, powerful, simple. It's hard to answer that. In the opposite, the weapon I don't like so much is the chaingun... 0 Share this post Link to post
silent_killa Posted November 28, 2001 I havent noticed until a few weeks ago that Doom actually has weapon recoil! 0 Share this post Link to post
Erik Posted November 28, 2001 shotgun (single), shouldn't this be in polls btw? 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted November 28, 2001 1st Single Shotty 2nd Double Shotty 3rd Plasma 4th Chaingun 5th RL 6th BFG 7th Pistol 8th Chainsaw 9th Berserk fist 10th Fist Of course, this time tomorrow that list may be quite different, but #1 is always the Shotgun, and the other 2 are always in the top 3 0 Share this post Link to post
Liam Posted November 28, 2001 Hmm... the favorite doom weapon and monster polls have suddenly popped up for the millionth time. Alright, I like the Shotguns, both the single and double shot. 0 Share this post Link to post
silent_killa Posted November 28, 2001 Seems like everybody's a big fan of shottys. Im actaully surprised that noone said bfg as their first choice yet. 0 Share this post Link to post

seamless Posted November 28, 2001 SSG. Involves more skill and tactics. 0 Share this post Link to post
danarchist Posted November 28, 2001 Definately the Super Shotgun, with the plasma cannon coming in a close 2nd. 0 Share this post Link to post
joemolley Posted November 28, 2001 Super shotgun is awesome, but you just cant compete with a chainsaw. A huge screaming, tearing blade with hundreds of razor teeth ripping at your flesh, tearing it off your body one little bit at a time (really quickly), and flinging it everywhere! all thats left is a gooey gelatinous mess akin to fruit salad. Tho, the ssg does pretty well too. HUGE roaring blast of intense heat searing you skin at close range, then a giganitic mass of pellets ripping whole pieces of your body off and just tosses it like so many beef carcasses, while you yourself soar through the air just like that kite you had as a child. Not much can beat that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted November 28, 2001 The Shotgun. It's the only weapon that's not blatantly defined by the technological limits of the engine. I can make way cooler plasma effects in other engines, or cooler explosions, or a good-looking spinning chaingun. But the shotgun? Hell it feels better than most shotguns out there. I'm not exactly sure why, though... 0 Share this post Link to post
Zeratul 982 Posted November 28, 2001 A tie between the plasma gun and the super shotgun. You know, you just gotta love these threads. =þ 0 Share this post Link to post

Captain Red Posted November 28, 2001 SSG is the most useful, but i have had some fun times with the bezerker patch :) 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted November 28, 2001 The Shotgun. It's the only weapon that's not blatantly defined by the technological limits of the engine.Well, the chainsaw is good too. For me, depending on the mood, it's either single shotgun, rocket launcher or the chainsaw (IDCHOPPERS! :)). But of course the SSG and plasma are more useful. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dark-tenshi Posted November 28, 2001 i often use super shot gun,somtimes switch to normal shotgun for saving ammo.i also have fun with berserk pack too. 0 Share this post Link to post
SirRobin Posted November 28, 2001 Well, it all depends a LOT on the enviroment you are fighting in and on the enemy that your trying to slice&dice... But I would say that shotgun, super shotgun and rocket launcher are propably my top 3 weapons :) Shotgun has a really nice feeling to it... 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted November 28, 2001 The Rail- *cut off by the sounds of rockets, shottys and plasma rifuls being fired* I mean the shotty of corse! :P /me staggers away muttering "stupied doom puirests and the anti rail gun bolocks, I'll lern 'em... I'll Lern 'em all..." 0 Share this post Link to post
Zro Posted November 28, 2001 The shotgun, it's very accurate, and powerful enough. I have killed all enemies with it, except Cyberdemon and Spiderdemon (and of course the boss). I'm making a map where at the most extreme course you will have to kill 3 Cyberdemons with a shotgun. 0 Share this post Link to post
IMJack Posted November 28, 2001 Plasma. Super-accurate (at close-mid range) hose death! So what if the shots take a second to get there... 0 Share this post Link to post

Jello Posted November 29, 2001 Double Barreled Boomstick all the way. Nothing beats splattering someone with it in DM :) 0 Share this post Link to post
silent_killa Posted November 29, 2001 Single shotgun or Chaingun Because the chaingun is like an auto pistol, i find it too weak. 0 Share this post Link to post
skadoomer Posted November 29, 2001 rocket launcher all the way! i like watching imps and zombies go boom and explode, plus in multiplayer, it forces you to perdict where the player will be inorder to get a direct hit. 0 Share this post Link to post
