I didn't personally like the BFG edition. I'm playing through it right now and it seems like the gameplay doesn't fit the theme of this game very well at all.
While it might seem like a silly change, the flashlight thing was huge because, for example, certain other parts of the game aren't as good because of it, but that's the clearest example for me.
Another is the nearly doubled ammo pickup from weapons. Once you get the machine gun you basically will never run out of ammo if you're even slightly accurate, and (haven't gotten that far), I imagine this stretches to the plasma rifle as well.
When taken on terms of a shoot-em-up instead of a action-survival-horror game, the game suffers greatly as a result. Enemies are not incredibly intelligent and the setpieces in the game suddenly lose most of the tension. Gun balance is taken incredibly out of whack with basically infinite ammo and this makes the stress of possibly running into larger enemies much less impactful. While I'm glad the new doom is returning to classic run n' gun play of the originals, doom 3 isn't designed for and probably shouldn't be played that way.
