SO YOU THINK CLASSIC DOOM LEVELS ARE THE ONLY EASTER EGGS IN DOOM 2016?





Another blog, another Doom related entry. It seems that Bethesda Softworks and Id Software loves to throw in great easter eggs to pay tribute to the original Doom games, Wolfenstein 3D, Quake and even Commander Keen. We had three hidden secret rooms in RAGE, hidden Wolfenstein 3D levels in Wolfenstein: The New Order and now we have hidden rooms in every level and can be played once you discovered them in each level in the new Doom reboot. In each level, you just simply find a lever and pull it, a sound will play indicating a hidden door has opened near by. But I'm not hear to talk about that. I wanted to share a couple of new easter eggs found in the game.

THE TERMINATOR SALUTE: (May have minor spoilers to film)



If you happen to die somewhere in the lava. Doomguy will melt into the lava obviously, during the death scene, he happens to give out a very familiar gesture. That gesture actually references the farewell from the Terminator in the film Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Quite a homage if you ask me.

COMMANDER KEEN'S HELMET:

















During Chapter 6 just after you hit the checkpoint and collected an Argent Cell. You will see two paths. The one down below leads to a secret area which not only contains the chaingun but also a very familiar football helmet with two Doom logos on it. The helmet is actually referencing a another gaming franchise Id Software used to work on before they made shooters such as Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. It's Commander Keen, a episodic series which consists of 6 games. The Commander Keen easter egg on Doom reboot isn't even Wikipedia so could it be I'm the first one?

Apart from the main classic Doom levels, I think that's pretty much I can find, if you find more, lemme know.
