Doom’s not really imbalanced because the competitive community keeps changing up the maps, apparently they’re also playing CTF (http://unidoom.org/idl/rules.html). I mean you can kill someone with any weapon in Doom really well unless you’re stuck with a pistol, the super shotgun just kills the easiest and fastest at the average range. Also it’s easier to make a map for Doom design wise because there’s less in the way of movement tricks to account for (just straferunning/wallrunning and the occasional rocket jump you might add).
Also you can’t call TF2 consolized because the competitive community relies not only on servers with no crits and shit running but also on a ton of scripts to adjust mouse sensitivity per class/weapon, etc. It’s got problems like not many people play it competitive and class balance isn’t really as tight as you’d think (only one demo per team in some leagues, no one but Europeans use heavy as pocket, spy is completely gimmicky, etc.).
Hey what do you think of arcana after playing it some more? If PSN would come back online I’d be playing it right now.
