The main issue in these runs is ammo

iirc Nightmare Mode gives you DOUBLE ammo like the easiest setting.

Yeah, it's like ultra-violence with random spawns, been there before. The main issue in these runs is ammo and losing too much time which makes mobs spawn that don't necessary give you ammo back. Of course, you can just ignore them and keep going for the goal, but if you don't know where to go rip. The game gets a lot harder in the later episodes too. Ep1 is fairly friendly.

Nice. Then join the crew and try to do it in a solid run/share tips (:


And rubix, I received confirmation for ya as far as the secret levels are concerned. For speed running they are not necessary on nightmare or any difficulty, but if you're going for nightmare max completion they are, so it just depends on what you're really going for. I feel that since it is a task in itself to beat the game all the way through on nightmare and that speed running strats are necessary to pull it off, the goal should just be max completion.

Do you have some kind of modified Doom with lots of options to pick from? If you're playing with ZDoom by example, the gameplay is a lot different suddenly. Can be something to keep in mind.

Edit: v- Oh well, didn't knew, looks like I can learn stuff too. ./was still running out of ammo

Nope, Nightmare mode legit make monsters move faster, makes them far more aggressive so they're not just walking around when you're in sight, makes their projectiles faster depending on monster, and gives you DOUBLE ammo.

Thanks for confirming.
