Wasn't all that special aside from the boss fight. Reminded me a lot of Turok (not a compliment) without looking as nice.

I never got into all the Duke love. It was an okay game and I guess the one liners at the time were cool, but it never stuck with me.
Take 2 doesn't want to fund the game unless they get the IP. T2 already paid 3D Realms enough for the publishing rights.
Didn't Duke 3D do room-over-room maps first? Can't remember if Doom or something else did that before. The multiplayer was pretty wild too, the pipe bombs were a scream.
Duke 3D did room-over-room first. While Doom was stunning for the time, it was basically faking a 2D layout into looking 3D. You can stand on the edge of a cliff and be munched on by a pinky hundreds of feet below.

Duke 3D did not do room over room. There was sector over sector faking.
The Build engine did incorporate that technology later
