[strike]I currently have cold. I'll take a look at these once I get better.[/strike]

Edit: Feeling better, I took this for a spin. Personally, instead of Doom, this should be geared toward Heretic/Hexen. Based on that, I did my testing in Heretic, not in Doom. This meant that some sounds didn't play because they're Doom sounds. Here is my feedback:
  • Some sprites are not in PNG.
  • Warrior's shield projectile's sprites are of low quality.
  • Not too happy that the Warrior's shield resembles that of the Hell Warrior , in both looks and behavior.
  • The Warrior could reflect projectiles even if it's not in "defend mode" (having its shield up). Admittedly, it's kind of hard to pull off, but it could happen, so no harm in trying to fix it.
  • Looking at the Pikeman's code, if it does a melee attack, you're guaranteed to suffer some damage from the attack no matter how hard you try to dodge it, which is unfair.
  • Berserk: the range of damage values to pick from is too wide for the monster's charge attack; one time it does as little damage as 10, and another where it can potentially kill you in one hit from full health.
  • Due to the noticeable increase in melee range for the Pikeman and Berserk, they start meleeing their target at a longer distance than normal instead of doing it at a very close range, which doesn't really look that good.
  • Code related: when doing state jumping, please use state labels instead of relying on offsets; doing 'A_Jump(128, "Blah")' is a lot better and less error-prone than 'A_Jump(128, 12)', for instance.
  • Code related: I see quite a few instances where there is a 0-tic long state like 'STR1 H 0' without any function attached to it, why?

I agree on everything except that. If this is going to be adjusted to be a Heretic/Hexen monster (which makes sense) I don't see a problem to have it the same shield as the Hell Warrior.

Other than that if the rest of Blue Shadows suggestions are added, I am okay with the submission.
