It's not exactly 1:1 in it's gameplay which is enough for a lot of people. I still put it closer to traditional "Doom/FPS" gameplay than its other big competing contemporaries; it consistently throws numerous big dumb enemies at you per encounter, and it's got a decently big enemy roster you manage with a standard weapon lineup. Top that off with it's attitude towards modding (i.e. "go right ahead, fuck with our shit") and it's very much a "Doom" game to me.
I've also heard how often it gets compared to System Shock 2 in these threads but those comments don't get too far.
