Talk:Doom II

message: When the game has been released? September 30 or October 10? Both dates are in artice (one in text, one in table). --Piotr Rybałtowski 06:34, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Release Date

message: I have taken the liberty of totally removing the short descriptions of the new monsters in Doom II. It seems to me that those descriptions show a large amount of redundancy with the full descriptions, especially in the case of The Icon of Sin. More effort needs to be put into the long descriptions, without taking up extra space where it is not needed. Jehar 19:32, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundant monster descriptions. 

message: Now, I haven't played Doom 2 in many years (atleast eight, if not ten), but I always wondered something. Were there ever propper, in-game terms to distinguish the "old" shotgun from the new one introduced in Doom 2? I seem to remember that the "new" shotgun was called the "combat shotgun", but  of course, this is silly, as anyone who knows anything about firearms knows that a double-barreled shotgun would never be regarded as a 'combat' shotgun, much less if compared to a pump-action repeater. Was then the old shotgun called a 'combat' shotgun, or am I just remembering something that didn't exist?--Stevekl 03:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weapon Question 

message: Anyone know which version of Doom 2 the box art in the preview video shown at the bottom of the article is from? Be cool to have a link to that box art, or just have it in the main article. I bet less people have seen it than the standard one.Doom jester 10:02, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Box Art in the Doom 2 Preview 

message: This article states that the Nazi symbolism was removed in the Game Boy Advance version of Doom II. Perhaps it should be stated that the Swastika was replaced by the eagle-like letter "W" that was used as the logo for Return to Castle Wolfenstein (the box art on the Return to Castle Wolfenstein article has the logo on it).
The portraits of Adolf Hitler on the walls were replaced by portraits of Wilhelm Strasse, an enemy in Return to Castle Wolfenstein. In fact, the picture used in the portrait seems to look very similar to, if not exactly like, the image used in the Wikipedia article (without the visible Swastika).
The Nazi enemies still say, "Schutzstaffel!" when they see the player, which is a bit of Nazism that wasn't removed. The Nazis were also given green blood, despite being the only human enemies in the game.
Sadly, the only source I can recite is just playing the game myself.

thread_title:  GBA: Wolfenstein and Grosse 

message: The article states that the gameplay was not very different than in Doom.  However, I think the following should be noted.  When Doom 2 first came out many were disappointed by the single new weapon introduced.  People thought there would be more.  However, in Doom 2 one thing many came to realize was that gameplay WAS different -  in many levels the player cannot kill all the monsters himself and must rely on them to nail each other.  This is cool and should be mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.31.218 (talk) 03:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

message: 'Unofficial Spin Offs' are by their very nature, not noteable enough to be included in a video game's article. Lots42 (talk) 18:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The section should probably be removed. It's doubtful reliable sources discuss them. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 19:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Dozens of versions exist for pretty much ANY fictional concept that ever existed anywhere. Simply because a modification of the game exists is not enough to insert in the article. <BR>
If the creators of DOOM said they played certain fandom mods a lot, that'd be worth a note. If the fandom mods were involved in legislation, that'd be worth a note. There are many reasons to note fandom modifications...simply -existing- is not enough of a reason. If you want to make a fandom page for all info on Doom 2 mods, go nuts. I'd go read it because I am a fan of DOOM. Wikipedia is not a place just to toss in info, no matter how cool it may be. Lots42 (talk) 02:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unofficial spin offs. 

message: I saw a youtube video that showed a backmasking on the final level and a secret, easter-egg-style shard of gameplay that has john romero's head floating around, crediting him as the "real" last boss. Any confirmation on this, and is it notable enough? --PenguinCopter (talk) 23:00, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It used to be mentioned in the article but someone trimmed it out.  Yes, the final demon that you shoot at is Romero's head on a pike, out of sight -- you have to use NOCLIP to see it.  Xihr  00:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just noticed that there's a bit on it in his own page, but it's unsourced, so probs not worth the mention. Fun though. --PenguinCopter (talk) 01:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Does anyone know anything of the Sega Saturn and PlayStation 1 ports of Doom 2? As I have been trying to track them down on the internet and I have not found anything of them as yet outside wikipeida. If some one could answer that, that would be helpful. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 15:07, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  If you allow Wikia, .  Granted, it's still a Wiki and not reliable (and in this case unsourced), but can be used as a starting point. --Sigma 7 (talk) 20:16, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Secret Ending? 

message: I re-added "No Rest for the Living" under "expansions". Last time someone did that it was reverted for being "hardly noteworthy". How come? The XBLA version is an offical release of the game and the add-on adds for nearly a third of more content. Not what I'd call "hardly noteworthy". Moreover, D!Zone still stands there although it might be considered just one of dozens of unofficial commercial add-ons released in the heyday of the Doom craze.
Any thoughts?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krischn (talk • contribs) 21:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I know this is a low priority article, but you should be careful to watch for vandalism. I just restored the plot section which was removed by a vandal replacing it with profanity, and then a well meaning user simply got rid of the profanity. --Tarage (talk) 08:54, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: this guy keeps blanking the plot section and putting profanity in it instead. He has been warned a few times and the next time he vandalises the page I will ask for his IP to be blocked fully. Sentient Planet (talk) 09:56, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: I have virtually rewritten the entire plot summary. One reference cites Tim Brastow as the author. For the other reference (reference number 5 on the article), it was unclear to me who the author is (the source states "Transcripts from printed manuals by Ledmeister", so  used that). The date of publication for that on the web is also unknown, though it is known that this document was available to the public at least since 1997. Please help me clarify that reference as I'm not sure whether it complies with the quality guidelines. I tried to be as clean as possible in the plot summary as well, but it may still require rephrasing of certain parts. The reference problem is still more important to me. Thanks.

message: Article needs to have current image replaced with a scan of the original box - the current one shows a newer box with the ESRB rating. I think the original box had no rating or an RSAC rating on it. --Jtalledo (talk) 13:36, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
