Talk:Chaingun (Doom 3)

From Doom Wiki

Well why would the pistol, machinegun and chaingun share ammo? That would just be silly./Lycanthrope

* shrug *   Presumably to avoid unnecessarily complicating the game mechanics (in Wolfenstein 3D, those three weapons do indeed share ammo).  It's a judgment call on the designers' part, obviously; by 2004, the gaming populace was more accustomed to "realistic" arsenals that required finding a different type of ammo for each weapon.  Similarly, the plasma gun and BFG changed as well.    Ryan W 04:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
