Poll: So I've been playing a lot of DOOM recently...

Chaingun for the hard enemies. Shotty for the grunts.

Shotgun. Because it was badass, and was always available.

It's been so many years!

I bet it was shotgun.

I've always been fond of the Super Shotgun from Doom 2.
It always seems to stun the Arch-Viles, Pain Elementals, Cyberdemons and has been noted to kill the ever annoying Revenants on semi-rare occasions, giving me perfect time to fire again! and again and again and again and again until one of us is dead.

I used the shotgun alot as well, mainly for close encounters.. (Cookies for reference)

Too right mate.......DAMN I've played that oil tanker level too many times.

I think I use the shotgun in every fps game that has one almost exclusively. Nothing more satisfying then close range shotgun to the face, as long as its not your face. Personally, my favorite shotgun analog isn't out of Doom but out of Unreal Tournament, the Flack Cannon. Its got a barrel the size of your head and alt fires as a grenade launcher.

I think of Doom, I think of the shotgun.

It's got single shot power, doesn't take too long to reload and it sounds so satisfying to blow an imp's brains out with.

The shotgun, for me, is the definitive Doom weapon (honorable mention to the chainsaw but I only usually use that for a laugh, or if I'm running out of ammo.)

I still play Doom. In fact I'd call it my favourite game of all. Other, more modern FPSs come and go, but there's something about Doom that just never ever gets old.

There was something so satisfying about killing three or four bad guys with one shotgun blast.

Give me a good old fashion plasma gun any day. Ah nothing quite like the simple things.
