Pirate fucks have played it, and you haven't.

The baby baron does not have fetal slime on it.

Double-barreled shotgun. It uses 2 shells, and packs twice the
firepower. Excellent for taking out rooms of guys, but uses twice the
ammo, so use it sparingly.

This is true. Excellent new graphics, that really add to the effect.
Doom2 has alot more puzzles, however, so if you like puzzles, you'll like
Doom2. Also, if you like fast and furious action, then a sortof calm to
catch your wits again, Doom2 is for you. It's not like some ameteur
PWADs, where they throw in a Cyberdemon, just to make it hard, oh no.
When there's a monster, theres a reason for the monster. It has a key
part in a puzzle, usually, so look around if you find a Cyberdemon who
seems to just be there for fun.
: The new graphics for the monsters are better than the old monsters.
Definatly true. The new monsters were drawn better than monsters in
Doom1. They have better shading, and most have new weapons (all but one
or two). Be prepared for alot of new sprites, and some things you've
never seen in any game before.
: I can't count all the new textures that are in it.
Quite a few, to say the least. Almost every texture was redone, then
some were added.
: Everyone, get your facts straight before you believe a pirates "review"
: of a piece of software.
Everyone, you're better off listening to someone whos seen the game, then
someone who's relying on hear-say.
