is quake better i havent tried that
No, it's still great but I wouldn't call it better, maybe that's a personal bias though. Gameplay-wise I like how it feels like if you recreated Doom in the Half-Life engine (hurr durr maybe cuz its the same engine o algo) but also the enemies can be incredibly annoying, that's my biggest gripe with it. Also the graphics just look a lot more bland but that's more personal.
why are they even called boomer shooters? the median boomer was born in 1955 and they were like 38 when the first doom came out
thats OLD
Because they're the first ever FPS games, Wolfenstein 3D was the first ever FPS game to my knowledge. But also I know this is a bait post lol.
 
In idea or in actual game engine? If you mean in idea then yeah, if Doom never released then FPS games would have been drastically different or even maybe wouldn't be as close to as popular as they are now.
In both idea and engine.
I believe Doom's engine was used to make Quake, which was used to make Source and many other engines
 
Halo combat evolved is better. Someone introduced me to it and I totally agree.


unlike call of duty and og of doom EVERY WEAPON IS DIFFERENT AND VIABLE.

Plasma weapons do better at shields than health

bullet weapons do better at taking down health than shields


Every enemy is unique game-play wise. Unlike doom or cod where "variation's" or different enemy's just look different and you mindlessly take them down(no strategy no using certain weapons, just use any weapon and shoot). Every enemy and I mean EVERY enemy is different in gameplay and ascetics.

For example grunts are the low cannon fodder. They have no energy shields so using plasma weapons is not as effective compared to bullet weapons. They throw grenades, and come in packs. weak on there own but when together can make a difficult challenge.

Jackals are the shields. They have giant energy shields(an actual shield) with a little spot on the right where you can shoot them in the leg with a precision weapon. causing them to bring down the shield to finish off with a headshot. You want to use precision weapons on these guys however plasma weapons can also get through there shields to. They can hold a choke hold incrediably well and rapid fire at you.

The elites are you equals. they can do everything you as a player can and have energy shields. The best way to take them down is to use plasma weapons to take down there shields as like I said before plasma weapons are better at taking down shields. and then use a bullet weapon to take away there health. If you throw a sticky gernade at them they will charge at you and try to kamachaze you. They can throw gernades, use vechiles, and Command troops in battle.

Sentinals are giant laser spewing robots. they have energy shields and have a big weakness which is plasma weapons. bullet weapons arent as effitive but plasma weapons destroy these guys.

This is just a small roster of the huge amount of enemys in this game. Now notice something all between them. In doom and call of duty you can just get any weapon and go on a masscure. However in halo on legendary or herioc if you want to survive you have to use a mix of weapons, there is no one size fits all weapon. Your constantly using different weapons and stragetys Making split second decisions. do I throw the gernade on the grunt which causes him to run to his squad and maybe kill multiple enemys. or do I use it on the big elite who will run twoards me and I will guarentee not kill multiple enemys. do I give away my sniper for the plasma weapon to deal with the sentienals etc. Every enemy has strenghts and weaknesses that your CONSTANTLY thinking about. Every weapon is useful. In order to survive you have to use a mix of plasma weapons, assult rifles, percision weapons, power weapons, and special weapons like the needler(which lock onto enemys)

Plus everything in halo ce is fair. 99% of the time when you die its your own fault. everything that can instantly kill you is telegraphed and told to you before it happens. Energy sword elites will roar and do a animation with there bright glowing sword before charging at you and instakilling you giving you time to react, realize the threat and prepare. your making a bunch of split second decisions in the game that no other fps has given me. Its actually strategic.
