Line 13:
* [[An Aesop]]: A slightly fantastical one that boils down to "Nothing good comes from trying to harness Hell's power to serve humanity". A more mundane interpretation is "Trying to use a corrupting influence for good will only result in letting it corrupt you into evil".
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: Codex Entries tell the story about how the UAC ended up as a demon-worshipping cult. The demons have their own in the form of the Slayer's Testaments, which tell the story of the Doom Marine's rampage through their realm.
* [[Ascended Meme]]:
** Not only does the infamous "[[Memetic Mutation|RIP AND TEAR]]" from the [[Doom (Comic Book)|''Doom'' comic]] get incorporated into the opening intro, but it's delivered in a manner that replaces the [[Narm]] with ominous dread.
** The achievement for killing the Cyberdemon is called [[Captain Obvious|"Shoot it until it dies."]], referencing a GamePro Magazine issue that gave that as a joke protip.
Line 30:
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: It does a good job surpassing the brutality and bloodshed in the original ''Doom'' games.
* [[Body Armor as Hit Points]]: Armor in the game works the same as in old Doom games: any damage you take is done in armor first.
* [[Body Horror]]: In addition to being reanimated zombies in all but name, the Possessed are so warped beyond the people they once were that whatever clothing, equipment or even weapons they had on themselves before being transformed are painfully grafted into their bodies.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: Shooting in the head will deal extra damage and will cause the [[Your Head Asplode|enemy's head to pop like a bloated watermelon on death.]]
* [[Boring Yet Practical]]: The Tactical Scope for the Heavy Assault Rifle and the Gatling Rotor for the Chaingun. Compared to the [[Macross Missile Massacre|Micro-Missile Launcher]] and the [[More Dakka|Mobile Turret]], the former seems rather mundane. However, the scope allows you to use the Assault Rifle as an automatic sniper rifle while the rotor allows you to keep your Chaingun ready to fire at an instant. Both also have a final upgrade that increases their damage when the mods are used, making them extremely powerful to use.
Line 52:
* [[Magitek]]: Given how Argent energy is strongly tied to Hell and how much said energy source has become widely used by human civilization, technology has effectively become this.
* [[Mega Corp]]: The Union Aerospace Corporation/UAC is definitely this, having struck metaphorical gold with the "discovery" of Argent energy on Mars.
* [[
* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: It's pretty obvious even before the Mars UAC facilities were compromised that their safety record was abysmal.
* [[One Bullet Clips]]: Averted, as every gun in the game can hold as much ammo as you're capable of holding. And like the original ''Doom'' games, there's no reload whatsoever.
Line 69:
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Doomguy's drive. The Beserker Artifact is also told in Codex Entries to cause this in anyone who consumes it. [[Oh Crap|Bad news for the demons when the Doomguy picks them up.]]
* [[Unwilling Roboticization]]: The more mechanized demons, such as the Revenants and Cyberdemon are revealed to have gotten that way thanks to UAC experiments, being attempts at ''weaponizing Hell''.
* [[Well Intentioned Extremist]]: The UAC, Samuel Hayden in particular, likes to present itself as this, believing that all its work (including its interest in ''Hell'' for Argent energy) is for the good of all mankind.
