DOOM was always geared toward close quarters, which is particularly due to the main weapon, the Shotgun, being more powerful the closer you are to your target. It was all about getting into your enemy's face, blasting off a quick shot, and frantically dashing back into cover until the reload was finished. Now that whole element of gameplay is much less prevalent, at least is single player (due to slow enemies), because now you can simply keep sniping foes from a distance without ever needing to get up close and personal. At least it isn't as useful in multiplayer, because all your enemies are just as fast as you are.
I wouldn't mind the Combat Rifle as much if it wasn't as common as the Shotgun. If anything, the pistol should be brought back as the starting weapon, and you should acquire the Combat Rifle later down the road with a more limited ammo supply.
