Designing For | Doom & Doom II's Weapons -- Designing For Balance @DesigningFor | Uploaded March 2019 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Designing For is a series which looks at a level in gaming, and analyzes a theme central to that level's design. In this episode, we look at the weapons from the first two Doom games, and how they may be the most elegantly balanced set of weapons in any FPS to this day.
