Why does everyone prefer Doom 1 over Doom 2?
Better level design for the most part

>>749002001Doom 2 has good mod support though
>>749002001Ultimate doom is the best package, Doom 2 is iconic and fuckin fantastic and yet the super shotgun is OP as fuck and the hell knight just sorta exists.
Better soundtrack. Doom 2's soundtrack was pretty fucking awful. The levels are more colorful and vibrant as well. Doom 2 is mostly brown and grey.
>>749002001It seriously pisses me off the way boomers will admit Doom1 has far better levels but somehow "DA SOOPER SHOTGUN" makes doom2 a better game>but MUH wadsWads don't fucking count
>>749002001Tom Hall carried Doom 1 despite being fired from it
>>749002001Honestly, they're kinda interchangeable to me. I like them both.>>749003243I'm playing through Doom 2 right now and I get what you mean. There are some good tracks but a lot of the songs just have me scratching my head.
Personally I prefer 2 because it was one of the first games I played as a kid, didn't play 1 until much later.
>>749002038>>749003375it's okay up to level 9 sort of. then it gets too experimental and slogs. also yes you miss the ssg on doom1, and the extra enemies from doom2 do spice up the gameplay too, plutonia makes the most of them. brain spider boss is a hitscan unbalanced joke of a boss

>>749002001Doom 1 has the better campaign / episodes - however, Doom 2 gave the framework for making better WADs as the increased enemy variety has been used to greater effect than what ID did.
