That's how the classic FPS's worked.
Why Quakeguy and Duke Nukem are speedstars.Also, where does the idea that bullets move in slow motion for Master Chief come from?
The classic FPS also had a tendency of being unrealistic. Regular humans in any Half-Life mode and most other thinkable FPS games could tank several rounds to the head. Some even rocketlaunchers. I guess humans were just so much more powerful back in the days.
Game mechanics ia all Doomguy has. So it's either use that or don't even make a thrad with him.
Fact is classic FPS heroes are just better than Chief. They can outrun their own rockets, become invincible, have some insaenly wanked guns....that's how they were made.
And why Quake and Doom are better than Halo ever could be.
Or those that actually support Doomguy can accept the fact that all he has is gameplay mechanics and that his true durability is not at all impressive in truth. I mean, we've all seen the movie Doom. Unless stated otherwise, we can assume that he's as durable as those guys.
You know he's a geneticly enhanced human. The same way you know that, you know his limits. You know he has enhanced senses, speed and accuracy. So the same way you know that, you know if he is more durable or not.

Personally, I never count any comics or manga as canon, regardless of whether they are officially backed or not. If it didnt happen in the game, it didnt happen, period.

Just a simple precaution to keep away from the fanfiction (damn Sonic fans...)
And I totally understand where you guys are coming from. I just personally feel that if the information is that important, it shouldve been put in the game, that's all.
Call me crazy, but this is what I believe:
Game content > what a creator speaks or what official comics say
In layman's terms, the game content is the bible for what is canon.
