    This gun _frightened_ me. I jumped the first time i fired it. ;)
The Doom ][ engine can't be complete. I played it at a friend's house and I
know that the levels will be revamped. Most of the them IMHO opinion were just
plain ugly and no fun to play compared to those in Doom. The Title Screen
looked fuzzy and not completed also. I think that when I buy the Doom ][
release I will see a lot of differences. The SuperShotgun (which I prefer to
call the elephant gun) takes a lot longer to reload than the normal Shotgun (2
or three seconds.) You can toggle between the normal and regular shotgun just
like you toggle between fists, chainsaw when you are berserk.
