Factoid:
Marcus Lehto and the other artists working on Halo specifically designed every single weapon to be recognizable by silhouette so they could be easily identified on the field and on the thumbnails for the pickups.
Big reason why so many of Halo’s weapons are unique and iconic.
I also want to say, while Halo didn’t do it first (I think there were a few games that did it before Halo but can’t remember them), every single futuristic fps game had an ammo counter on whatever the standard assault rifle was.

Honestly for a weapon literally called the "Big Fucking Gun" I always found the design of the BFG rather boring. As a (effectively) room clear device it borders on the realm of cheat code (until later maps that arguably become more dependent on it) but it doesn't have that kind of chaotic oomph you expect from a GUN. There's no real "feedback" from it. Some more fire and carnage would have been nice.

Even though this doesn't play till you get to the second area, I always considered this the iconic Rygar theme. It fits the atmosphere so well, that sort of ancient primeval proto-indo-aryan realm of gods and mystics and stark crystal cold mountain air, I can hear the music echoing over it..

Does the power loader count?

I'm so glad I had the grand and intoxicating opportunity to experience Aliens Doom back when it was fresh and new, before it got "Foxed"- the very word coined from 20th Century Fox demolishing this total conversion to describe the act of a major studio obliterating a fan game or mod. The atmosphere was fantastic, I still remember the chills I got walking in that original software Doom dark lightning seeing pale alien eggs gradually come into view.
