I played doom2, as did my friends.
I was playing multiplayer on BBS' with plenty of other folks.

We all were very familiar with [the band] nirvana (It was the most[?] popular band, at the time...)

We all knew the map names, and were aware of the naming coincidence.

No one ever mentioned thinking that it was a direct reference to the band.

For that matter, what maps didn't have a shotgun...

So did I. I made mods and maps too: http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/files/doom2/j2doom/j2doom.html

I miss the old days!

I don't see how a F2P version of CoD is risky at all, especially considering that most of the content is just recycled from previous games in the series. Also, CoD's XP and unlockable system is tailor made for microtransactions.

This is certainly no more risky than Quake Live, Battlefield Play4Free or Need For Speed World.

But the shotgun in that map is the double barrel. Kurt used a single.

I don't think this is a reference to Kurt or his band. What Sohakmet on that forum said makes a lot more sense. Seems to me this is more of a coincidence than anything.

Doom 2 Kurt Cobain Reference. Thanks Ant…

Interesting, and according to wikipedia, the dates match up, with Cobain killing himself in the spring, and D2 shipping that fall...
