Ammo from enemies
Is that ^ still the main way to get ammo in DTDA?

Still not a fan of that.

What would be a better way to obtain ammo, in your opinion?

The way you get ammo in Eternal is a complete opposite of a slot machine. You always get half of your ammo pool whenever you use a chainsaw, your chainsaw always recharged and fodder always respawns. There is no random factor to it. You can start and finish every encounter with a full ammo pool.

Frankly, classic ammo mechanics are more ”random” - you don’t know how much ammo, and what kind, the map designer decided to place on the map until you complete it.

Not from enemies killed. It’s just stupid and really doesn’t make sense.

Would you prefer ammo crates or whatever scattered on the map instead?

Anything would be preferable to ♥♥♥♥ popping out of enemies.

Everybody knows that Half-Life 2 is the pinnacle of immersion, and in that game you get an infinite rocket crate whenever you need to fight an enemy vehicle.

This raises the important lore questions. How much of a threat the Doomguy is when not sponsored by demons

I would, but I'm old school. I'd quite like a classic mode with health and ammo pickups, but that would probably completely break the game design.

There will most likely be ammo pickups just as there was in eternal.
with the difficulty slider and along cheat code, it will be a non issue
also eternal have infinite ammo cheat code, and it works even for BFG (but not for crucible sadly)
Forfeit ammo at all, make cooldowns and disposable weapons!
We need even more primitive gameplay.
