NiGHTMARE Posted August 27, 2000 I always wondered this, and it's the case with pretty much every FPS there is. But the recent Voyager: Elite Force game actually explained it: weapons, equipment, etc are stored in a personal "transporter buffer". Now, this doesn't exactly fit into the established Doom universe (hell, it doesn't even seem to fit in with the established Star Trek universe, but then a lot of stuff in Elite Force doesn't :) ), but it would be cool if ID come up with a similar solution (perhaps a micro-dimensional gateway or something? =p) 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Kaopectate Posted August 27, 2000 I have a really easy explanation, even though it doesn't really fit to DooM 2... LESS GRAVITY! 0 Share this post Link to post
Jeremy Posted August 27, 2000 BFG and rocket launcher strapped to back, has pistol in his pochet, chaingun in one hand, the shotgun in the other, and the plasma gun is in his back-pack, along with all his ammo. The chainsaw is strapped to his leg, and his dbsg is strapped to the other. There, and he defenintally able to walk too... 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest TossMonkey Posted August 27, 2000 Ummm I reckon that its all done by magic!!! Hes not even on earth on the first game so its not going to be a simulation!! 0 Share this post Link to post
Tetzlaff Posted August 28, 2000 No, it isn´t less gravity (and I really hope Doom III will not be just a space opera)...maybe he has cybronic implants, so he can carry more guns, run faster and jump higher than normal? :) 0 Share this post Link to post

sirgalahadwizar Posted August 29, 2000 You are forgetting one thing though! Even if there is less gravity, there is still the issue of volume - that's right. The same reason why you can't hold a 5-foot wide beach ball very well is the same reason why Flynnie should not be able to carry all that crap. Also, even though it is low gravity, it still has mass and it takes force to move mass. This means that Flynn can't exactly turn on a dime or slow down really fast if he get's running. Fully Loaded the bastard would look like a metallic cube! (hmm... where'd I put that bfg <he already has it>) 0 Share this post Link to post

Guest DoomManiac Posted August 29, 2000 Uh, how about we just say that it is a game and just leave it be. I have tried to think through some game quirks and they just mess with your head. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
