I think DooM series is still inspiring many games to this day, and so here are some proof

Two troopers standing with their back facing you.

And two zombiemen of Doom II Entryway, standing with their back facing you as well.

“I sawed” this demon, I mean, cyborg dude immediately after spotting, of course, if you know what I mean :rofl:

Annnd here’s a real demon. They look pretty similar, I would say. With four combed visor and all that…
Could it be? :thinking::thinking::thinking:

Oh btw, just so you know I’m not saying Blizzard copied it. If they actually referenced from Doom series, I’d lose my marbles and be so happy.

Edit: I really wanted to show the imgur images directly to whoever is reading this, but I somehow didn’t reach trust level 1 I guess, or maybe including links in a post is permanently unavailable.

Here ya go

Anyway, now on the matter. I don’t really think that Doom was the first of coming with the trope of two troopers standing with their back to an entrance. It has probably been done lots of times before in movies etc…

The second one might actually be inspired by Doom though.

You mean trust level 3. :slight_smile: Trust level 1 is for those that just started off or got banned.

To be fair I think design wise the Talon units are from the tribes series.

I remember when I first played Overwatch, I kept shooting at barrels and fire hydrants expecting them to explode. I sure hope Junker Queen will have a chainsaw, especially when you use the IDCHOPPERS cheat code. :stuck_out_tongue:
