Dead Simple.

Macubi spawn on the square platforms. Cool little throwback arena.

Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3 returns from Doom 3, although it has a new arcade cabinet now. Yes, it is playable.

What level is this in?

Reference to Tei Tenga, the planet from the original Doom Bible. Also December 10 (the original Doom shareware release date).

Also a reference to COMPSTA1.

Congrats community, you broke the fourth wall

Do the little SMG drone guard thingies in Doom 3 make a comeback?

Lots of little things on the terminal code:

Sounds like the texture artist was tired.

Possibly a Doom 3 reference to the scene with the Pinky Demon eating the intestines of a Fatty in a washroom.

E1M1, the beginning

Getting gibbed while playing a classic recreation level will show a familiar face inside the helmet:

It will show the classic Doomguy's face if you die a gib death regardless of area.

Since nobody else has posted it yet, there's a terminal in Lazarus that has a scrolling list of a bunch of QuakeCon volunteers of years' past:

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but here's Doomguy's face:

Is it possible to remove the helmet somehow? By using that model exporter program?

Awesome face though!

Some Quake reference:

What do you mean?

Four pillars, scenic view to the right, staircase to tower with windows to the left. It's the first room of E1M1.

That seems really far-fetched to me.
But I haven't played the game yet, so maybe it does resemble e1m1 when you walk arround in that area.

It really does. When you first open the door, you get a view of the four pillars with paths to the left, and north of the pillars. The path left takes you to a flight of stairs which leads to a big watchtower style room with windows all around, just like the armor room in the original.

Possible reference to E2M8: Tower of Babel

In the second level, on a terminal where you unlock a door, there is a mention of "filling out TPS reports in triplicate".

Wolfenstein New Order reference?

SnapMap has some amusing references as well.
One prefab room is described as "a maze of twisty catwalks, all alike". A call back to Zork.

Nice Icon of Sin (with cube) easter egg:

I need to get an imgur. Anyway. Not sure if this counts as an Easter egg, but its there.

In SnapMap the Quad Damage description states that its "4 times the damage, 20 times the fun." Which is true...

I'm going with it being a simple reference to my favorite pastime bullshit, LSD is king the international weed time and not somebody at Id being an edgelord about a nasty incident not at all related to Doom from way back. O_o

The mp map Helix has a cyberdemon in it (pardon the laggy gameplay)

Thought he mean it was a 420 reference, was about to ask how smoking weed is being an edgelord when its traditionally been more of a hippy thing. In the end it's probably just an arbitrary big number considering how a billion fucking things happened on that day.

I'm a complete idiot for not shooting the Icon of Sin skull in the forehead.

I really didn't think it'd actually do anything? Boy, I'm smart.

Lol, me too, I saw the Icon of Sin and was like "Didn't I read online somewhere that something would happen if you shot a rocket into the brain?"

Then I though to myself: "Nah, that's too random, I won't even bother wasting rockets."

Turns out it was true and I was dumb.
