Would of Doom II/2 have been better with a sniper rifle?
>>
It would have been better if they dropped the fantasy setting and made it a realistic warfare zog recruitment tool
>>
absolutely not the railgun was a mistake it can't be balanced

doom doesn't have any good long range weapons and that's what makes it doom

hell no, it would be totally unnecessary, most maps dont have situations where demons are extremely far away, and when they do they dont pose any threat to you as a player. Not to count that could can already "snipe" them with any of the hitscan weapons or some of the projectile ones. There is no need for a Sniper rifle.

>>12840836
The shotgun is a perfectly cromulent long range weapon.
>>
>>12840872
Cromulent?
>>
>>12840872
at an embiggened range the chaingun is better thoughbeit

But Doom had a sniper rifle: you tapped the fire button with the pistol or the chaingun for zero spread. With the game's auto-aim, even the BFG9000 is a sniper rifle if you shoot against a wall at a corner and peek to the side while the ball explodes.
>>12840836
I remember getting thrown the fuck off by Q3A's expansion trying to balance the railgun by reducing its damage output and cooling time. The Xaero fight on higher difficulties is bullshit, but you get used to the weapon's rhythm after playing with it on countless matches.
>>
>>12840829
i dunno . but make a STALKER WAD
>>
Why the fuck would you need a sniper rifle in doom? Have you even played the game?
>>
>>12840881
YEA. BITCH. CROMULENT. OPEN YOUR FUCKIN EARS
>>
>>12841124
it's not a burst fire weapon you can peekshot with

>aim at chaingunner a mile away
>it hits some pinky who happens to be closer within line of sight
Only Marachads with actual aiming in their game could appreciate a railgun or sniper
>>
>>12840829
The base games weren't really designed for it.

>>12840835
MarineDoom already exists, underage.

>>12840836
Just git gud.
>>
>>12840829
Yes
>>
>>12842607
i did git gud in the 2000s and they nerfed the weapon in quake live lol

i'm of the opinion it should be even weaker

most sniper rifles especially in bungie fps are full retard broken
>>
>>12840829
No, the Doom weapons were the perfect mix. No FPS, before or since, has ever matched its arsenal.

they really haven't

the only way to make a shotgun more chad than the doom 2 double barrel is to probably escalate to a quad barrel
>>
>>12840829
You can't look up and down, so no.
