First off I gotta say that I see doom as not only the best doom game but also my favourite FPS, it was already 20 years old when I got to try it after playing doom3. Its only after playing doom that I realized the wasted potential of doom3.

I kept hearing people saying doom2 was the big doom game a bit like BG2 vs BG so I was super exited to jump in it. Sadly its been quite a disappointment so far. Ive been through all of the missions and was shocked by the lack of interesting content.

Enemies are dull and mostly feel one dimensional, athmospere is lame, dialogue is bare bone, level designs are dull and super linear/fedex style, musics are dull, level design and map layout are uncreative, written lore is almost nonexistent... this is hardly a proper doom game, or even a proper FPS like people claim.

I get it that doom2 was made using the same engine as doom and stuff but the overall design is so poor (especially combat encounters) that it fails to use it's potential. And the whole tone of the game is such a joke that I dont see how it could ever be called a classic, even Postal 2 wasnt as retarded as what I have seen in doom2.

I know that doom 3 isnt a classic fallout but I find it to be more in the spirit of the series than doom 2 which is a total joke.

2 > 3 but this doesn't mean too much. Doom 2 is a bugged, unbalanced, unfinished game with a repetitive combat system. Doom 3 had all the problems of 2 but the combat system is ever worse. Both sucked and need a lot of fan-made patches and mods to be playable.

the more important question is was fallout 4 better doom than doom 3?
Fallout 4 is hardly enjoyable for me today even if it was my childhood game, but it still offers the most unique weaponries and gadgets of the series. Compared to doom2 which has none of the interesting weapons, except for the supershotgun, but still falls flat compared to the ingenuity that is the laser muskets.

Doom 3 was Quake 2 with better enemy and encounter design. Quake 4 with Q4max is objectively better than Quake 3.

Quake is the best because actual full 3D architecture with verticality that matters, jumping, rooms above rooms rather than just height levels, etc etc.

And when you bring in the fan-made content, then yeah, Quake blows everything else out of the water.
