----------------------------------------------------------
Monsters (Bosses):
Cyberdemon

Guardian

Sabaoth (Corrupted Serge)

charged soul cube)

reduced speed of projectiles to 1/3 (so that it's actually possible to dodge them)
Monsters (Demons):
Hellknight
2x more likely to attack
Imp
fireball bounces off of terrain and detonates after 2.1 seconds
pounce does less damage (to make the game less cheap) but pushes the player a lot further
(making it still very dangerous in its own right)

Never stops to roar while chasing player(only roars once when alerted to player's presence)
Wraith
teleports in and out faster
doesn't stand still to wait for teleporter animation to end

Lost soul
2x slower attacking speed

Over 2x the health
Morgue Corpse
3x the health (ironic :P)
Fat Zombie
2x the health
Chainsaw Zombie

Flashlight no longer gibs monsters
----------------------------------------------------------
Menu and Hud
Game title changed
Crosshair replaced to be much smaller (so you can see distant foes as you are targeting them)
Nightmare mode no longer reduces player's health to 25% (it's still much harder than Veteran, this can be changed back in autoexec.cfg and DoomConfig.cfg)
----------------------------------------------------------
Sound effects (all the new SFX are modifications of vanilla Doom3 SFX):
weapons
fists punching (The only sound effect NOT from Doom3)
pistol fire (vanilla pistol mixed with sped up vanilla shotgun)
pistol reload (originated from "Fixed Edition" (I couldn't have done it better myself))
shotgun fire (heavily equalized and combining of vanilla shotgun, enemy shotgun, and BFG Edition shotgun)
machinegun fire (same as enemy machine gun (why was it even different to begin with?))
chaingun fire (added sentry fire with chaingun (because sentry's is cooler sounding))
Rocket fire (cut out the build-up so that the blast sound happens when the firing happens)
Player
PDA now sounds like it was pulled out of your pocket before you start using it (whereas before it was the opposite, where the pocket sound effect plays as the PDA is push into your face?)
a heartbeat sound effect replaces the sound you make when health is taken from you in nightmare mode (makes it less annoying)
taking damage no longer sounds like someone is slapping you with a fly swatter
Monsters
Imp (The fire ball (which now bounces) makes a flaming, bouncy sound effect)
Lost Soul (sound it makes when it attacks is louder so the player can better anticipate or notice it)
Revenant (its exploding missiles are much louder)
Zombie with pistol (firing the gun now uses the same sound effect as the player's. Before, it sounded like a shotgun)
Commandos (footsteps are louder)
Friendlies
Sentry bot uses the player's old vanilla machinegun sound effect instead (because it sounds cuter and the player is already using the sentry's old sound for the chaingun)
Effects
barrel explosions are much louder
exploding rockets are much louder
exploding grenades are much louder
bullet impacts on metal is quieter (it used to be way louder than even the shotgun!)
Cutscenes
The Enpro intro cutscene has all of bravo team's' machineguns replaced with the same sound as the player's
Teleport tube is now in stereo.

May I suggest reducing the player's fall damage? It's ridiculous how you can take so much of it by falling from any height like your character is a 70 year old man with osteoporosis instead of a badass marine.
Interesting. I never really had a problem with fall damage, probably because I'm a more cautious player when it comes to Doom 3 as apposed to classic Doom. I may look into it.
