Why isn't he in The Dark Ages?

>>712364530 (OP)
because of the outcry of all the filtered redditors

>>712364530 (OP)
the design doesn't fit well with the combat

>>712364530 (OP)
it really is so fucking hilarious how hard this one guy filtered losers. The arguments boiled down to "B-b-but he interrupts the combat flow!" EVERY SINGLE TIME

4chinners couldn't handle his moveset. He was the catalyst for the forced shitposting of eternal and the modern trilogy as a whole.

the people who bitched about fighting this guy were the same exact people bitching about the tutorial pop-ups

>>712365014
>handle his moveset
you kite backwards in a loop, keep ~mid range to trigger his green eye swing more frequently, chainsaw a random mook because you'll run out of ammo atleast 5x while you kill the dog as well.
He's one of, if not the worst addition and enemy, if not for the retarded gladiator boss.

I miss him bros

>>712364863
And what is incorrect about that argument?

Ive been playing the nuDooms for the first time lately and just got to the marauder. He killed me instantly the first few times until I full understood the gimmick, but he dies in like 7 seconds when you play accordingly. What the fuck were they talking about.

>>712364863
marauder is the antithesis of "push forward combat", so yeah, he's not really a good fit in eternal and nu-doom's philosophy.

he will outstand and outfight you

>>712364790
this is applicable to all BethesDOOM shit which is why it all sucks and isnt real DOOM

>>712365305
>>712365915
Literally a skill issue.

>immune to the sword
>immune to BFG
he's really fucking lame and a personal pet of one of the devs for this shit

>>712364530 (OP)
I also miss the Carcass. A support demon was a great idea.

Marauder would've fit Dark Ages a lot better. The timing mechanics and punishment for not hitting the "parry" is literally Dark Ages' combat.

>its not DOOM gameplay even though they named it DOOM
>"le g-get g-good!"
go back and stay go

>>712366136
Git gud. Real gaymers don't even use that shit.

>>712367991
by that logic Dark Ages is the only "real" one since it has NO BFG

>>712364530 (OP)
>Mauraders are corrupted elite sentinel warriors
>Sentinels arent yet corrupted in the dark ages story
Hmmm i dont know anon, a real brain scratcher

>>712364530 (OP)
Because it would make too much sense.

>>712365358
Wait, I thought the one-bullet weapon swapping was a meme, do people actually do this?

>>712365361
"combat flow" means nothing
>>712365594
>marauder is the antithesis of "push forward combat"
pffft anon took the term "push forward" way too literally. What did you do, walk into his axe???

>>712364530 (OP)
so that /v/edditors don't get their feelings hurt

>>712366035
is this image a troll

>>712369614
Yes, the devs saw tryhards doing it in 2016 and decided to force it on players in Eternal by giving power weapons long cooldowns before you can fire them again, so that if you want to pound a super heavy with Ballista shots it's faster to press Q twice than to wait the cooldown out. And if you're swapping out you might as well swap to the Super Shotgun or scoped rifle and squeeze a blast off in between. All non-fodder enemy HP is balanced around you sweatlording like this.

Kino

Ae you doing kill all enemies speedruns? Ofc you can pump out more damage by swapping constantly but it in no way is it forced on you. You can do a deathless run without it. Is bunny jumping forced on you in Half Life because you can zoom trough the levels faster that way?

>>712369614
At launch the marauder doesn't get staggered as long so people had to do that to kill him fast

Pretty sure there's a secret encounter where you have to kill him in 30s or something

>>712364530 (OP)
Because they don't exist lorewise yet. Dark Ages takes place before 2016.

>>712372517
That encounter was fun, same with the one with Doom hunters and Pain Elementals.

So i've been wanting to make a shooter inspired by Eternal and i had an idea for duelist class enemies. They would be like the Marauder with them requiring your full attention and being dropped into interesting encounters. So basicaly mini bosses. How does it sound?

>>712365915
real DOOM has never been tried

>>712372504
>Devs intentionally gimp the player unless they do a very specific mechanic
>Heh heh (adjusts glasses) why don't you SIMPLY not engage with it you poor buffoon? Who cares if players who are playing in the developer-mandated fashion are putting out twice as much damage as you? Technically you CAN complete the game without doing it!

Post a few webms from your plasma rifle only playthrough, please. It's cool bro, if you run out of ammo just run around for a while until your chainsaw comes back. You're not speedrunning, are you? You won't mind.
