A more fast-paced game than other FPS game, even action-packed. This encourage aggressive and strategic gameplay in every combat loop.
What make it stand out as a FPS game is that instead of the conventional defense fighting style, DOOM Eternal not only want you to throw yourself into the horde, but also reward you which such, like using chainsaw for ammo, flame belch for ammo and more. Beside weapon mod for each guns, this game have no reloading mechanism. To prevent boredom from repeated fighting, a big part in fighting demon is Combat Dance. It is a fancy way to say that you will be jumping and moving around the combat area while fighting with your style.
Like it older game, heavy monsters/demons are unique with weak points on some of them. With unique strength and weakness, DOOM Eternal want you to figure out what work best, and what you like the most. It also can be a way to challenge you, with Hugo Martin saying that he's cool with "frustrating you so long as we have something to teach you".
Different from DOOM (2016) which introduce a lot more new enemies to line with it story, DOOM Eternal have reimagined the enemies in it game, with making old enemies much more accurate and aggressive like the Mancubus and new enemies that add more challenge and make the player rethink about the fighting strategy, with the most controversial being the Marauder.

B: I don't know, a bit challenging. But I guess this game take time for you to learn.
A: What about you, C? You play a lot of this game.
C: It's good. Some people may disagree with these demon and boss design, but that's because they haven't found the beauty in fighting them yet.
Doom Loop Delay (or DLD for short) is when a Doom Looper (someone who watches the same TV show over and over again) has been so entrenched in their Doom Loop, that they have become out of touch with current affairs & TV shows. Shows they haven't seen seem like they were released yesterday, although most non loopers have probably seen them already. There are varying degrees of DLD, from mild to severe.

Friend of Doom Looper; Yeah, that came out like 4 years ago? Did you only just see that?

Refers to the large void situated in the main room of "Temple", the infamous multiplayer map for Nintendo 64's Goldeneye. Until the release of Perfect Dark, things would only travel out from the sphincter (eg. bullets, remote mines). The long awaited Perfect Dark allowed players to jump into or "enter" the Sphincter, creating a 2-way traffic system which revolutionized the tactical approach when fighting for the Temple.

Jim - "Throw a timed mine!"
Eric - "Timed mines are shit! Who the fuck uses them anyway?! I'm going in..."
Jim - "You cant enter the Sphincter of Doom here! You're thinking of Perfect Dark!"
Eric - "Shit, fuck, I knew it, now I've lost them. Why is there a fucking invisible wall anyway? Why would i NOT be able to jump down?"
Jim - "Chill man, meet me at the crossroads We'll get 'em there"
