Nonsense.  Doom is king of deathmatch.  I'm not going to compare
apples to oranges to pears here, but Doom was too well done to just
fade away.  The weapons rule, and the atmosphere and the feel of the
game are like artwork.

A lot of people really want to make a Doom 3 out of Quake for good
reasons.  Let's just hope that id gives us enough clay to work with
(_especially for weapons_) so that we can make it into whatever we want.
