I'd like to share with you some random thoughts and obervations about D3. I HAVEN'T completed it, right now I'm at ENPRO.1. sound effects and music just as impressive as rendering 2. playing game "alone" and at night much better adrenaline rush than playing during day 3. the sentry bots were an awesome fucking idea! 4. plasma gun "best" weapon in ANY game EVER 5. I thought of "Aliens" (the movie)
while walking thru some of the levels 6. ok, im out, its finally dark enough outside...

Yeah, playing in the dark helps to enjoy the overall "get into the moment" experience, definately.

I'd have to agree with all of those except for the surround sound. I cant comment on that one since I dont have surround sound.

imho the pg is crap. in most cases the shotgun is better and more fun to use. except possibly for chaingun zombies and hellknights. and for the small ones like trites and cherubs you can use machine- or chaingun.[This message has been edited by Pext : 08-09-2004.]

The PG is great against Cacos and Revenants IMO. You can shoot out their missiles in mid-air. The plasma bolts are too slow for most quicker enemies though. conservatism = stagnation
stagnation = inevitable death

Don't waste chaingun ammo on trites, 2 bullets at their head with pistol or mg will do fine

facing revenants a real man would only choose something besides the shotgun if he had no amunition. dodge the first rocket, run at him, headshot, jump back to evade the claws, repeat and blow his head off.now compare this to shooting plasma from a far distance while strafing around... boring. in general: all zombies (including chainsaw guys) - shotgun
imps - shotgun
wraiths - shotgun
maggots - shotgun
trite, tick - shotgun / machinegun
chaingun zombie - plasma / grenades
pinky - shotgun / plasma / chaingun
lost soul - shotgun / machinegun
caco - shotgun / chaingun; imho plasma bounces them to much making it hard to hit them
cherub - shotgun / machinegun
revenant - shotgun
mancubus - rl / plasma
arch vile - shotgun
hellknight - soul cube (cheap) / plasma / rl / shotgun (fun)

The shotgun IS the most satisfying weapon, no lie..

Definitely agreed. It requires a bit more agressive style of play since it involves running towards the baddies but it makes quick work of anything when its fired from a couple feet away. Of course a mad sprint at a small group with the chainsaw is even more fun. [This message has been edited by Tormentius : 08-09-2004.]

You should use the plasma against Revenants since the plasma will take out his rockets with ease.As well, if you see an enemy in the distance, a few pistol shots will make it far easier to kill, especially the lost souls.

pistol is low action - and so is shooting rockets by spamming plasma. it's not about getting an easy kill; it's about having fun...

low action?!? I love the sniping with the pistol and trying to hit the rockets before they get to you....it's another aspect of the gameplay folks can get into.
