The chainsaw is best for pink demons and for spectres--the monsters that
can't shoot at you. Tears them to pieces in milliseconds (Well, maybe
not *that* quickly, but you get the idea...)
It turns Cacodemons (the big, floating, red heads) into total
chickens--they turn away and can't fire at you! Why? Who cares! It's
just neat to take advantage of...
The basic chainsaw technique is to turn around a corner so the enemies
can see you, then dive back around the corner and wait for them to come
after you, a few at a time...and what you do next, you should be able to
guess...
