[quote]Been playing the BFG Edition on my laptop while deployed. Can't wait to get home and start this game. From what I've seen, I like the look of the new baron. [spoiler]could the reason there are so few threads for DOOM be that the community really IS mostly children?[/spoiler][/quote] It's gonna be a good time when ya get home. I'm still on my first run through. Started on Ultra-Violence too.. nothing has disappointed me yet. It's new but still feels like the original in level pacing and firefights. Also, I think you may be on to something with the lack of threads about it. I was 8 when the original doom came out and man, it scared the crap outta me back then. IMO it's a good thing the kiddies are staying away though.

Ultra-Violence is THE way to play. Considering the fact that they nuked everything they worked on after half a decade and re-worked it from the ground up... it gave me a good feeling for what was to come and the wait has been utter Hell.

[spoiler]from angry parents...[/spoiler] I remember finally beating the original game with my friend at his house (on his brother's computer). Good times... then I got the one on 64 that made me rage.

Yeah I remember splitting my time between games like donkey kong/Yoshi's Island and then Doom 1 and 2 haha. That level that led to the secret mission from knee-deep.. first time I'd gotten scared of any game. In fact I didn't play another game that made me jump until Bioshock. The new Doom is bringing back that feeling though and I love it. Getting chased around tight quarters by a hell knight is pretty great lol
