5 Reasons Doom Will Always Be The King of Shooters

Doom is an iconic franchise, and also happens to be my all time favorite game. The original Doom and Doom II are legendary games, and in many cases still trump modern day shooters in many ways, but there are many reasons why a game from 1993 is still considered by many as the best first person shooter ever. Here are 5 reasons why Doom will forever be one of the best shooters of all time.

Doom is the Ali of FPS games.

Doom was great for its time but now I think games have surpassed it. The levels were all too similar and being able to aim at enemies above or below would have helped. I am glad Doom came along and paved the road for other games. But for me, Unreal, Quake, and Counter Strike will be the kings.

Doom 2 still has a modding community to this day. Modding jumping and mouse aiming in the game happened years ago.

I agree with this article I remember playing this game back on windows 95, seeing as I was 7 or 8 it scared the hell outta me

Yeah I played Doom 1 and 2 on PC, along with loads of user created levels, then bought the crappy SNES version, then played Ultimate Doom and Final Doom on PS1, and now have Doom Classic Complete installed on my PS3. Tried Doom 3 on XBox and couldn't get into it. I may give the HD version another try eventually. Definitely one of my all time favorite games overall.

I hope Doom 4 is better than Doom 3. I would like a re-envisioning of the original. Doom 3 was not bad, but it did not feel like Doom. Give me a high tech castle with demons to shoot. One of my other old favorite was Duke Nukem, but we won't even mention what happened there.

for me Half-Life for some reason.
