I'm replaying DOOM on my deck. Currently on Doom 2. Map: The Crusher. I came from the last map with low health I've ended up at pistol start.

Pistol start is a funny thing..it made me have to learn a secret close to the start!

I'm replaying DOOM on my deck. Currently on Doom 2. Map: The Crusher. I came from the last map with low health I've ended up at pistol start.

Thankfully (official) Doom maps are meant to be beatable with a pistol start.

The Crusher is an interesting map but the eponymous contraption is only in the first part of the map.

The Megasphere right?

I've been pondering to actually try a Pistol Start run of Doom 1 (or at least the first Episode in HMP).


PS: On a side note I'm wondering if Hurt Me Plenty is still good to play as since the Doom community has accepted Ultraviolence as the new normal mode (although Doom internally considers Hey, not too rough to be Easy, Hurt me plenty as Normal and Ultraviolence as hard while I'm too young to die and Nightmare are just variations of easy and normal respectively.

See how Things are just the same in there? Only the double ammo being given is the change.

I would try doing an "Ultraviolence+" run someday (UV but with multiplayer placement).

I have officially beaten the level since posting. Pistol start makes it a whole different affair.

Also yep! That sphere in the pillar

I generally play og on UV but there is no wrong way to play doom

I like that launchers can do that


According to the Doom Wiki (the good one, not the Fandom version) said:

When the game is launched with the -pistolstart parameter, every level will be started with the pistol only (works on the sourceports: Woof!, Crispy Doom, Doom Retro, DSDA-Doom).

Edit: I prefer built-in launchers in wads but sadly not every have one (ie: Crispy Doom doesn't since it's vanilla).

I hope the next major update for DSDA will put the launcher by default.
