Mancubus don't leave fire every-goddamn-where and their fire hitboxes are more clear, so they're no longer capable of trapping you in a corner with no way out.Ĭhaingunners actually have to spin their gun up, and other zombies have to aim. Before, you basically had to take cover on Black Metal unless you had your Minigun/Plasma Gun out, or you died. Feels more like good old Classic Doom without removing the things that make Brutal Doom special.Ī single Arachnotron can be perma stunned with a shotgun. Still, a lot of them do more damage and have new attacks, so it's possible to dodge on Black Metal now, but you're punished harder for not dodging. Mostly, they're not overly, bullshittingly fast anymore, and since they don't carpet everything with a million fireballs that you can't possibly dodge if there's more than one thing on the screen, they don't slow the game down by forcing you to take cover. v20 makes the game much faster by making the Monsters less ridiculous, but harder in other ways. Nah man, I can't go back to v19 because of the Monster AI changes alone.
