History Fridge / Doom2016

** Also, the Doom Marine's Praetor Suit is pretty advanced and able to interface with UAC technology easily to the point of being able to store and potentially integrate VEGA's software, though naturally not on the same level as the Hell-powered supercomputer he was pulled from. So just what or where the [[JustForPun Hell]] did a demon make this armor from?

* One interesting thing to note is that, despite both making deals with Hell for power, Betruger is given exactly what he wants while Olivia gets the JackassGenie treatment. Why? Betruger is competent and Olivia is sloppy. In ''VideoGame/Doom3'', Betruger made his deal with Hell and then sets everything up for them on a silver platter: he makes sacrifices, corrupts the staff, brings demons into reality, brings the Soul Cube to them and even guides the invasion himself. He even manages to keep the situation so quiet that by the time the UAC gets wind of something being wrong, it is already far too late. And the whole thing needs three Doomguys and two ancient Hell artifacts to stop. Olivia on the other hand is so blatant in her impending treachery that Samuel notices well in advance and starts taking precautions, specifically bringing the greatest threat Hell has ever known out of his prison... ''in Hell''. The Doom Slayer thwarts her efforts at every point and ultimately shuts the whole invasion down before it ever gets rolling, so by the time it comes for Olivia's payment, she achieves none of her promises and Hell is accordingly not in the mood to be so generous.

** Even more pointedly he did actually stop and listen once or twice on the off chance that maybe the humans have a point. After all his people originally owned the Argent energy source and they were doing just fine for a long time. But then the person trying to talk him down gives him bad reason after bad reason to keep using Argent, all of them effectively based on self interest or "the greater good" at the cost of personal loss for everyone involved.

* Why is Hell so sparsely populated in this game compared to previous Doom games? Simple: As this game takes place after a number of historical events that parallel the previous ''Doom'' games, the Doom Slayer has already thinned out the demon hordes rather significantly.

** Then again, it probably is a natural response for anybody to get mad at [[CardCarryingVillain somebody who openly admits to have been using Hell]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist for the "greater good" of mankind]]. But if 2016 Doomguy IS the same Doomguy from ''Doom [=1/2/64=]'', then his outrage would be even more justified. [[OneManArmy He spent two whole games fighting the forces of Hell,]] with the second [[AfterTheEnd fighting on an Earth overrun by demonic hordes to save what was left of mankind]], ''then'' [[SealedEvilInADuel sealed himself in Hell]] to keep it at bay at the end of 64...and ''now'', he woke up to find that [[EvilInc the UAC has become a demonic cult WORSHIPING HELL just to harvest Hell's energy?!]] That'd be the equivalent to [[VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder B.J. Blazkowicz waking up after a coma]] [[VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus to find the United States of America was openly working for]] [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi Goddamned Germany!!!]]

* The Doom Marine's complete lack of patience when it comes to preserving Argent Energy makes sense when you realize Argent Energy is a actually a product of ''his homeworld'' that Hell invaded and absorbed them for. Having to listen to someone try and justify deliberately opening portals to Hell and risking demonic invasion just to exploit the thing that got his home destroyed... it's no wonder he keeps smashing anything associated with it.

* Considering the [[PowerArmor Praetor Suit]] was forged in hell and everything is of Argent AKA hell energy, and the Doom Slayer may be of Hell, the chainsaw and Glory Kills causing enemies to burst into health and ammo drops not only makes sense in mechanics, but might fit the lore as well. The suit literally feeds off the demonic energy of your victims and fashions it into ammunition and repairs damage you sustain. The Doom Marine literally kills to stay alive.
