I'd give it all new maps, seriously the vanilla maps in Doom 2 were terrible. Everything from the design to just how ugly the color scheme was, Doom 1 was interesting to look at, while Doom 2 just had a bunch of drab, brown places that all looked like sewers and factories.

The guys there mainly discuss mods and the community.

I wanted to have a thread strictly dedicated to the vanilla game.

Different setting, leading to new environment textures (less grey and brown) and enemies, and stronger emphasis on the dynamic light capabilities.
I'd add a new default input scheme that's closer to kb+m (with a dead vertical mouse axis) and controller support.
I would not change the resolution. 320x200, maybe 320x240, and 640x480 if I'm feeling really kinky. The sprites have a resolution designed for the old VGA mode.
I would not touch the arsenal, or pickups. Shit's quite balanced.

Add single images between maps to elaborate a little bit more on the story, how the maps are connected. Add variants of the same map, with things changed according to the story, so the world feels more affected by the player's actions

This. The best things about Doom 2 are the SSG and the new enemies. That's it. Level wise Doom was superior. Also the overworld map.

Fuck Sega/europoor PC cancer.

Already improved by this + Memento Mori, IMO.

Xp unlocks

By not improving it at all.

Doom64

Obviously add a bunch of stupid cinematic kills and have ammo and health show up everywhere. Oh and make the chainsaw instakill.

It doesn't need fucking improvement. Why would anyone need neet scenery in a Doom game? I'm there to kill the fuck out of demons. It gives me the super shotgun as well and keeps it fresh with the enemies. Good enough for me.

More weapons. Less chaingunners

IMO, The problem with Doom 2's maps wasn't the color scheme. It was the lack of thematic consistency.

By loading up a megawad.

Replace all Petersen and McGee maps with their D2TWID equivalents

More textures, it is Hell on Earth and nothing looks like Earth. Possibly another boss/mid-boss since the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind were downgraded once more showing up many times through Doom 2.

Remove Chasm.

>>3324452
More enemies
Actual boss fights

>>3325992
McGee's maps were fine, though

Overhated map

>>3325897
you dont realize how striking and beautiful Doom was when all we had from FPS at the time was Wolf3d which was boring castle tiles and no celings floors or sky textures, Doom was a mix of drab military complexes, tech machinery with striking blues, green marble hell temples, red and white hell scapes, flesh walls, blood walls, green toxic sludges, bright red lava, dark red blood rivers...

Most people don't enjoy walking on thin strips of land and inescapable pits.

>>3326057
JUMP THA FUCKING CHASM

>Most people don't enjoy walking on thin strips of land
I think it makes the map have an interesting challenge.

>inescapable pits.
The only case of this is in the room with the exit door, and its very easy to avoid falling in. I will agree that it shouldn't be inescapable to begin with, though

Remove Petersen's levels.

-HUD indication of when you have SSG
-make Megasphere crimson

that's about it

>>3324467
Less abstract levels.

>>3324452
I get that the subtitle is "Hell on earth" but the mid part of Doom 2, the city themed stages were almost all just weak to terrible. Game has a great start, and a great finish though.

>Remove Chasm.
It was only recently that I learned that people didn't like this level. I always thought it was a cool level since I was ~12. No idea why people have issues with the thin strips... its really fucking easy even when I was new to it. Just fucking take your time.

>>3324452
Change the final boss. That is all.
