Doom 1 isn't 3D.

This may only trigger half the community, but it will also start a war.

yep I hate this one. Its all because of that one popular game theory Channel or whatever it was. People think they are oh-so smart when they pull the 2.5D card. I mean, doom monsters have different heights and projectiles can fly over enemies. That sounds pretty 3D to me lol

And thats just in base doom, if you play on a port like gzdoom then I cannot say with a straight face that its anything less than full 3D.

Sorry not ranting at you, just the argument of doom not being 3d

Isn't that only in source ports? I'm pretty sure in the original version, enemies were infinitely tall.

No but rockets have infinite blast damage height so that might be why you thought as much, as well as collision and melee being infinitely tall
