DOOM Achievments

Achievements/Honorific titles

The Compet-n[1] database is the oldest website collecting speedruns and playing styles for the Doom games. Its demos and players are generally considered to be among the best in the world.
Compet-n was founded by British Doom player Simon Widlake, probably in November 1994 (one month after the release of Doom II); the first demos were contributed by Sven "Dasa" Huth on 18 November 1994. Many of the early Doom "gods" started participating during this time, submitting a large number of demos and filling the world-record tables.

Many of the veteran players retired in mid- to late 1997, but a wave of new players emerged in 1997-1998, obsoleting many of the older records; 1998 also saw the first ever Doom II Nightmare! run, done by Thomas "Panter" Pilger, and the inclusion of pacifist and Tyson styles.

All Doom episodes had Nightmare! runs by this time, and NM100S was introduced as a category in 1999. In 2000, Compet-n also started accepting cooperative demos.

The website has since been shut down, but hardcore DOOM players still attempt to play the game using these styles.

UV Tyson :
The objective is to finish the level as quickly as possible in Ultra-Violence, killing every monster at least once, except lost souls, with the following restrictions: no weapons other than the fist, berserk fist, chainsaw, and pistol may be used. Picking up other weapons is permitted, but they may not be fired.

There exist collections of demos recorded with additional restrictions (on levels where they are possible), such as not becoming invulnerable, playing with fast monsters (also called "Grandmaster" or "GM Tyson" style), using only the fist and berserk fist, or using only the chainsaw. These distinctions are not recognized by Compet-N.

The style is named for former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who fought primarily with his fists, but also used his teeth on occasion. Doom does not allow player attacks with teeth…

UV Pacifist

The most famous of DOOM playing styles, probably due to the absurd nature of it, the objective is to finish the level as quickly as possible, in Ultra-Violence, without killing any demons! No harming monsters directly (no shooting, chainsawing, or punching monsters), and no harming monsters indirectly (no destroying barrels that hurt monsters, no activating crushers that hurt monsters) is allowed.

Causing monsters to attack each other is permitted, as are unintentional telefrags. Firing weapons is also permitted, provided no monster is damaged. Players of this style are named “UV pacifists”. Or just weirdo’s…

UV “MaX”:

The objective is to finish the level as quickly as possible on Ultra-Violence, killing every monster at least once, except lost souls, and with 100% secrets.

NM100S:

The objective is to finish the level as fast as possible in Nightmare! with 100% secrets. To acquire this achievement is deemed almost impossible. Good luck, solider…

Serpent Raptor’s made-up Achievements (which is why they are so stupid…):

Pistols of hell:

Knights of hell are evil. And molid. And they see you not as a tough space marine, but as an insect. They have to be taken down! So why not kill them—with a pistol?! Don’t bother if there are more than two at once. (Note—killing Knights in this fashion takes a while...)

I-ain’t-scared-of-no-acid

See that protective suit? Yep. Now wade into the pool of green stuff. Without it. Hey, its only bright green water—right??

Shafting

Sounds dodgy? That’s cos it is! Find yourself a chainsaw. Then try and find a demon that isn’t facing you (There ARE some, depending on the level) and, well, shaft him. Harsh? They shouldn’t be trying to invade earth then!

Kamikaze Barrel

It is a well known DOOM tip, that shooting the barrels whilst demons are next to them is a fast way of killing them. So why not try standing in front of a demon whilst you do it? Then you might die—but at least you take the hell spawn with you! For those of you who don’t care about political correctness, this style can also be called the “Taliban take out”.

Kamikaze Rocket.

Same as the one above. But use your rocket launcher at close range. It hurts. Them and you.

The Skull Posse/Pied Piper of DOOM

The lost souls in the base fly round and round... That is how the song ORIGINALLY went, until they started making up crap about public transport for the kiddies. Now, what you gotta do is resist the urge to kill any flaming skulls you come across. Instead, walk around the level obliterating everything else, whilst they follow close behind you. See how many you can get to stalk you. You’ll have a crew in no time. Just ignore the fact that they are trying to kill you, and it’ll feel like you have so many friends...

Clash of the Titans

Causing Infighting between the different denizens of the den down below is always such fun, but heighten the excitement by riskily using yourself as bait to get, say, a cyber demon to fight an Arachnatron....or a Baron of Hell to fight a Cyber Demon...or...ok, you get the gist. Be creative. Place bets with your mates on which monster will win. And try not to die whilst in the front row seat for the spectacular show.

Nightmare Spectre Dance

Nightmare specters are INCREDIBLY tough. That’s why you should show them who’s tougher—kill them with your fists! Remember, to move in and out with your jabs, whilst strafing. Yeah, it ends up feeling like your dancing a bit, but it does the job. Eventually.
