* The EquipmentBasedProgression is actually justified by all the dead Marines you find even in the later stages of the game; the guys with better weapons were able to survive for longer and get much farther before finally being killed.

* The destination of many men, women, children is more disturbing when you read the manual of Doom II. Maybe the lack of civilian bodies are that display dead marines would be more frightening to show, as they were real combatants and they are ''dead''. Now the manual of Doom II and Doom 64 says openly that the demons eat human flesh. [[ImAHumanitarian You can imagine the cause of the lack of common human bodies lying or on display...]]

* Despite being armed with what appear to be assault rifles, zombiemen fire their guns at the same rate as the player character's pistol, and their shots aren't that accurate. While this could be chalked up to their intelligence being somewhat blunted by being zombified, it's also possible that [[AndIMustScream a small part of their personality remains after their transformation]], and they're somewhat hesitant with their firing because their old selves are [[FightingFromTheInside fighting to regain control]].

* At first, the only reason for the Chainsaw to be on the Phobos base is because of RuleOfCool, since regular chainsaws are meant for cutting wood, of which there is none on either Mars moon. But the chainsaw seen in-game more closely resembles a diamond chainsaw, a type of chainsaw which, as the name implies, uses diamond cutting teeth instead of metal, and is mostly used for cutting up rock and concrete, which would make far more sense for a moon base to have around.

** He's also influenced by Sergeant Kelly in Doom 3, being a character in a leadership role who ends up subverted and taking an antagonistic role as the story progresses. Most notably, Sarge ends up making use of the movie's incarnation of the BFG, while Kelly wields one in his boss form as Sabaoth.

* Who do those candle eyes belong to? It couldn't be the eyes of the Icon of Sin (as it has white eyes) nor those of the Cyberdemon on a similar principal. Barons possibly, though the objects never appear in Episode 1, not to mention they appear to have solid black eyes. So who? It's the eye of the Spider Mastermind, as they both have the same shape, and red coloration around the eye, watching Doomguy as he slaughters their minions before the inevitable showdown. Could double as fridge horror as well as your every movement has probably been tracked from the beginning.

The fact that you need to shoot the candle eyes to progress in ''SIGIL'' only adds more corroboration to the theory.

** The same dead humans (or their rests) on display are even more disturbing when you play Doom II. Probably some are civilian and normal people and no marines. And the manual says that ''millions'' died...
