Matt mumbled:
: I was curious about how other people play deathmatch; what "rules" do you
: follow.
Rules? We are talking about a game that is nothing but nonstop,
senseless, gratuitous violence.
: - If you are armed to the teeth, and you come against someone with
: just his fists (or even a pistol), do you just blast him?
: - If someone dies and enters the game (teleports in) right in front
: of you, do you blast him in the face, or give him a chance to
: get a real weapon.
: - If you are playing against someone who has never played deathmatch
: or worse, never played Doom, do you launch a rocket into his back
: at every opportunity to show your Doom prowess?
The answer is obvious. The answer is yes. The ONLY exception is if you
are playing against a close female relative (e.g., wife, sister, girlfriend,
or mother), in which case you must use your fists, no matter what weapons
they might have. The reasons are 1) better sound effects, 2) it is more
humiliating, and 3) you want them to know what is happening, who is doing
it, and that they are helpless.
