The weapon reset in Episode 4 really funks you up and even though Doom doesn't have some of the extra enemies, it's also lacking that double shotgun and all... I also remember the level design in the original game being a lot more claustrophobic, so it was harder to take cover or something.
I guess you had a different experience, haha. But I had probably played a lot of megawads between the time I played Episode 4 of Doom and then Doom 2, I thought Doom 2 was mostly a cake walk on UV.
TNT isn't too bad either but Plutonia is a bitch, I'm not a huge fan of the level designs anyways and those guys abused the hell out of chaingunners!
I thought the XBLA exclusive episode for Doom 2 was pretty damn impressive. Really complicated huge levels and all, they were pretty awesome and the detail in the level design was very top notch. Would have been cooler if it were longer! I think I remember it was only like ~6 levels or something?
Hell man, at this point I'm never sure. I've played both enough times at this point in my life, I don't remember my original experience.
I think they're both fairly difficult, some levels more so than others. Lets leave it at that, heh.
I don't care for TNT or Plutonia. Not much else to say.
The new episode was pretty short, but man was it sweet. I need to play it again...
