	I disagree... While I wasn't crazy about Heretic at first, in time
I found that the new features surpass many things seen in DOOM.  Weapons
like the KFC-9000 (Chicken-Bomb) make Deathmatch a unique experience.  In
DOOM, all enemies have a maximum of one attack/skill with the meager 
exceptions of the Revenant (two missile types plus close range), and the
Arch-Vile (long-range fire plus resurrection).  Even then, they're not too
tough.  Look at any of the bosses in Heretic.  The Iron Liches have at least
three different attacks to keep you on your toes.  When fighting DOOM's
Cyberdemon, you KNOW what to expect at all times.

	Also, you can't overlook the ability to carry items in Heretic.
Very convenient.
