That's how I played it on Nightmare. I guess I was slightly more cautious than you were but still

Try playing through some of these instead user. These are both personal favorites of mine and others I would consider essential to try at least once (see Brutal Doom). If you havent played any retro Doom or WADs then
>grab a copy of the base games as well as TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment
>download your source port(s) of choice
>install ZDL to boot up multiple WADs at once as well as being a general launcher for your base games, source ports, and WADs

Early doom games are about knowing the map, keeping well stocked on supplies, and not running headlong into an ambush you're not prepared to deal with. They're a little like dungeon crawlers in that regard.
The new doom games are all about combat. The game is entirely designed around allowing the player to play aggressively, so if you're impatient by nature then Doom 2016 is going to punish you a lot less than Doom 2 or Plutonia will. Conversely, if you're used to skating by with careful play in old doom, you might find nudoom harder as it's way more about pure reflexes.

I mean, in most games the highest difficulty genuinely isn't even fair. You can get cucked by shit you'd need to have near-perfect reflexes to deal with or avoid on the first attempt, like jackal snipers in halo 2, for instance.
Doom 2016's nightmare is "easy" because there's not a lot the game throws at you that you can't predict before it happens and then avoid. I'm reasonably confident you could finish Doom 2016 without taking a single hit consistently if you spent some time on it.

Sorry m8, that's patently untrue. The highest rated no death Ultra Nightmare run on youtube takes a hit 90 seconds in.

40 seconds in.

Even the devs aknowledged this, hopefully Eternal will fix it

Play Nobody Told Me About id. PWAD that makes Doom play like its Build Engine peers.
Jayden Robinson
This is like saying that ultra nightmare is impossible because people die on nightmare runs. Both of those hits WERE avoidable.
I can't think of a single instance of damage in the game that you couldn't avoid playing a little more carefully. It's not like call of duty or halo, where if you're out of cover you're probably going to take a tiny bit of damage no matter what you do. All attacks give you time to strafe aside from stuff like the Mancubus' flamethrower up close.
For the possessed soldiers you just stagger them with medium range shots before you go in for the kill-shot. If you're tired of that initial fight on the UAC (and everyone who plays ultra nightmare inevitably is) you're bound to make some mistakes in the name of getting through it quicker.
