If there is more than one weapon (I really hope there is) please make
different gun sprites to go on the players!  For me, that is the greatest
drawback of Doom and spin-off games-you can't tell what your opponent is
holding...  It would be more fun to see that he has a shotgun-type gun
where one shot would blow you away and panic than just getting shot when
you thought he had a pistol.  It would also keep the lab quiter from
people yelling "what did you shoot me with???" I hate having to explain :)
Plus people could fake it which would be really fun, but dangerous: 
holding a weapon for which you have no ammo :)  The other guy thinks you
have one or two shots and runs like crazy, or he wastes you and you can't
shoot fast enough...
