	Indeed. But I would like to point out that your first post was the
best example of flame bait I have ever seen.
	Flamebait: Expressing a strongly held opinion with a universally
excluding and uncompromising attitude.

	Just because YOU dont like RPG's, or jumping, or pawing about in
your backpack while you get shot (I agree that is a dumb one :) doesnt mean
others might not get a kick out of it. 

	However here are some improvements to DOOM I would like to see :

	Two guns at once: Imagine... chainsaw and gatling gun, BFG9000 and
the roket launcher.Heck add some new guns.

	More Weapons: Of course. Everyone likes new toys to play with. If
the gun needs to be more powerful, add a smart gun ala Aliens fame. You
know, like the chain gun, but autoaims to the target. Vertical AND
horizontal... If it just needs to be neat, Flamethrower comes to mind. :)

	Multiple backpacks: Come on, the guy isnt all that realistic as is,
carring as he does a roket launcher, a minigun, a shotgun a pistol, a
chainsaw, a pulse rifle, AND the BFG9000. So let em carry some 1000 or more
bullets. It will make Ultra-Violence that much more fun :) (Ultra-violence
is the only way to play :)


	Now there are some improvements. Besides, DOOM really couldnt be
made into a RPG. The maps arnt big enough :)

:) <--- This smiley for the Humor impaired.
