This has a lot to do with the type of game you''re making.
Quake in 2D would suck, but then again, Civilization in 3D would be much worse!

Upsides and Downsides to 2D and 3D
Could always make small 3D characters and just show them in side view or isometric view. And I''m not talking about pre-rendered graphics, although that is a solution to the previous scenarios while retaining true 2D programming.

Actually I have to disagree. I feel that the characters and art could all be done in 3d regardless of the target genre (i.e. 2d or 3d). Why??
Because if I can easily do these changes and run off the images without all that pixel editing, why wouldn''t you?
I do belive 2d drawing has a place, but only for things like textures, ref maps, displace maps, etx....
As for doom it has both 2d and 3d parts
2d: the enemy units and powerups are done with animated sprites, that means 2d. The gameplay itself if almost completely 2d since you don''t have things like bridges (with a few tiny exceptions).
3d: the graphics of the walls and floor and stuff like that is 3d
