Chaingun, easy. It's DPS is low, ammo capacity is low, and to me it's always been an odd choice to give a marine a chaingun over a battle rifle. Maybe because T2 came out a couple of years before Doom was released? IDK The only reason I use it is sniping or a low shotgun ammo situation. It and the pistol need better DPS options, like dual wielding pistols, and a high RoF less accurate SMG and similar RoF but more accurate Carbine as replacements in the 4 slot. But yea, finding a freakin' chaingun and then realizing it's only capable of ever so slightly more damage per second than a pump shotgun, while that shotgun gives you way more damage from a full ammo pool, that's a real letdown moment.

Edited because I don't proofread well.

If you're new to the doom community and reading this, anything by skillsaw or Bridgeburner. Prepare to have you teeth kicked in, and welcome to Doom. Also Eviternity was great. Hopefully this isn't a sore spot, and if it is I apologize, but if anyone reading this hasn't played Joe-ilya, Cuppykeks, and segfaults' previous work (Auger; Zenith, Mausoleum Nefarium, Dreamcatcher Apparatus, Emerald City , etc.) you should do that right now. A;Z is one of my all time favorite WADs. I'm still currently taking my time playing through EmCity with the Ashes Afterglow weapon pack just soaking it all in. You all did fantastic work and it is greatly appreciated.

Also, it's not for everyone and a lot of people hate on it, but playing Brutal Doom: Extermination Day by SgtMarkIV is pretty damn fun. I enjoy the new mechanics it offers and the campaign itself was fun to me. A modern shooter re-imagining of Doom, story and mechanics. I never understood why it got so much hate.

Lastly, if you like DOOM(2016) and you're looking for a way to capture that feeling in Doom 2, try the HontE_remastered WAD with the Death Foretold gameplay mod (and a good flashlight mod). A subtle redesign of all the original Doom 2 maps with no sector lighting (dynamic lights only) paired with IMHO the best D4inD2 mod out there D4T by DBThanatos & crew. Who needs new Doom games when DBT is cranking out stuff like QC:DE, D4T, and Kar En Tuk.

If anyone knows some awesome Heretic/Hexen wads I'd love to hear them. I saw Cuppykeks is working on one which has me downright giddy with excitement. I've recently gotten into Walpurgis by EHARPER256 and it has gotten me back into Heritic/Hexen.

@Sharazar
I'm also an idiot, because I forgot to include Ashes: 2063 and Ashes: Afterglow. Vostyok and crew made what is essentially full game built on GZDoom. Post-apocalyptic, think Mad Max, Fallout, Wasteland, but Doom. Super fun to play with tons of atmosphere.
