Lol I brainstorm on wads that will probably never be. I went to sleep last night thinking about what weapons would match what theme.

For an old-school rustic vibe in a demonic temple of Doom, I'd probably just use all of Preacher's weapons, except buff the Tommy gun ROF from ~500 to ~700 which is much more realistic. I want to also use D4V's arching grenade projectile for rockets, so I'd use the M79 grenade launcher from Realm667. It'd be weaker than the Doom RL but it has potential to be more fun with the right map design.

Another theme is Doom but with faster weapons and monsters, a la Valiant. First weapon could be the unused Doom rifle sprites, it could shoot as fast as the chaingun (~500 RPM) so that it's like a M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, since the starting pistol is virtually useless anyway. This would make the regular Doom shotgun worse than the starting weapon so it'd have to be replaced. The double-barrel shotgun would become the first shotgun you get in this wad, and the upgrade would be a full-auto shotgun that shoots ~300 RPM, as fast as an AA12, exact same firing speed as the Valiant pistol (1 bullet/7 frames). The chaingun would be Valiant super chaingun which fires at ~1000 RPM. Plasma gun would be from Antaresian Reliquary, it's rate of fire is halved, but the base damage is increased from 5 to 12, so it becomes more than twice as ammo efficient, which I like because the instant you get the BFG the weapon becomes obsolete. Problem with this is you can no longer stun archviles with plasma. You can stun em with superchaingun but it's still a step down in DPS

What if you make a wad with zombiemen who attacked like chaingunners but still had 20 hp, and the shotgunners had the same hithpoints as chaingunners, and wore similar looking armor?

what's the worst doom 64 level?
