If you save the game multiple times per level in Doom... you're cheating.

You should only save at the START of a level, so that you can come back to the game later, if you have to go do other things. Otherwise, you should beat each level in one sitting.

Proof that it's cheating is the fact that you lose your guns if you die, and each level of Doom has guns in the beginning for you to pick up. Why would they make you lose your guns if they intended for you to be able to save a bunch of times and load back up where you were?

You're support to say, "Okay, I died and lost my guns. I need to play this level better," not "Whatever. I will just load where I saved."

Saving multiple times per level on Doom makes you a damn CHEATER.
