Trivia
While most of the levels exist highly ruined, the developers first built every level as if nobody had ever walked in them. Going through each level with special developer-only 'weapons', level designers would then dismantle the levels in order to create a highly damaged effect.

Goofs
Mars's gravity is only 45% as strong as Earth's gravity, yet the Marine when outside of com-pressurized buildings walking on Mars's surface, is still walking on the ground as if there is no difference in strength of gravity

Quotes
Swann: I'm here because there seems to be some very serious problems.
Betruger: [condescending] Oh really? Do I need to remind you of the groundbreaking work we're doing here?
Swann: No. But I've been authorized by the board to look at everything.
Betruger: [scathing] The board authorized you? Hmmm. The board doesn't know the first thing about science. All they want is something to make them more money, some product... Don't worry, they'll get their product.
Swann: After how many accidents? Tell me, Dr. Betruger, why are so many workers spooked, complaining, requesting transfers off Mars?
Betruger: They simply can't handle life here. They're exhausted and overworked. If I had a larger, more competent staff, and bigger budget, even these few accidents could have been avoided.
Swann: I'm afraid you'll get nothing more until my report is filed with the board. I will need full access, Dr. Betruger, Delta included. I won't have any difficulties doing that, will I?
Betruger: Only if you get lost, Swann. Just stay out of my way. Amazing things will happen here soon. You just wait.

I initially didn't like this but changed my mind

I first played this in 2003 and was initially disappointed; I felt the developers used the Doom name on something completely different. I felt the original games were focused on running and gunning whereas this was a (literally) dark game with action sequences that felt far fewer in between. I didn't understand the PDF system as a 17 year old who found mountains of text exhausting/uninteresting!

I gave this game another chance a few years ago and LOVED it. I appreciated it for what it was rather than criticising its difference to the originals.

It is true to the Doom name in terms of atmosphere & feel, something I didn't initially appreciate. I wanted more "hell" levels in 2016 & Eternal too. It's one thing I think Doom 3 did better.

I did play with the flashlight attached to the gun this time around, which helped. Also the use of YouTube walkthroughs the few times I got stuck.

I learnt to appreciate the PDF systems too!

No doubt the black sheep in the series, but I don't think that's a bad thing.
