The Official ZDF New Doom Thread

Bloody shame I couldn't get to try it. I hope they optimize the final game for older machines.

You didn't really miss much to be honest. The beta didn't have much to offer altogether. The Unreal Tournament Alpha is more fun to me.

[The Zombie Killer]

To be completely honest, even though I've enjoyed the little bits I've played, I have to agree. Unreal Tournament is so far a much more enjoyable multiplayer experience.

The single-player campaign is where DOOM shines anyway, and I read that there's quite a lot of lore behind the monsters, weapons and other things so hopefully it'll be awesome.

Played the Beta last night. Like I expected, I am b-a-d BAD at the multiplayer (only won 1 out of, like, 6 or so games.) I liked the hacks they implemented for... obvious reasons.
Hoping the single-player doesn't kick my ass too badly. I'm still hyped, but maybe a bit more cautiously than before.

My experience with the beta has been a resounding AWESOME. I'm actually pretty good at the multiplayer, and frequently found myself in the top 3, even in games that were "Crushing Defeats."

I also pulled off an epic save for myself, though I'm not sure how to pull the clip off my Xbox. It was fantastic and involved a lot of SSGing.

It feels like a re-textured Halo using quake sound effects and brütal doom elements, De Javu lingers behind every corner!

Looking back none of the Dooms have never had great multiplayer aside from... coop. Speaking of which, where is mah coop?

It feels more like Quake with Halo elements to me, and violence and gore being side effects of the game being about a Demonic invasion, that and the marines in the multiplayer are likely mercenaries rather than actual soldiers, so they'd have trained in ways to kill opponents effectively, not cleanly.

Naaahhhh. I was a Halo console fan before coming to PC and Doom. This is faster than Halo. You're running around, in the fray more rather than a ranged, cover based fight. Plus, no reloading or regeneration.

[Viscra Maelstrom]

i dunno about you guys, but this looks far more interesting than Halo to me. i never finished the first two games, they were incredibly boring IMO. and this is coming from a pretty big FPS fan.

[Inchworm]

I played the beta for about 8-9 hours, and personally, it felt much nicer than Halo and Unreal Tournament. Sure, it had bugs, balance-y issues and other things that needed fleshing out, but I found it ridiculously fun and I look forward to see what the multiplayer and single player have to offer in the official release. I just hope they fix some of the problems that were present in the beta before then.

Another beta, this time from April 15 to 17.

I better get a compatible rig by that time!

Looks like DOOM is getting 3 DLC packs, and a season pass.

The packs are gonna be $14.99 USD (£11.99 [UK]), but the season pass is $39.99 USD (£29.99 [UK]).

The first pack will include the following:

Three new maps
One new weapon
One new playable demon
One new armor set
One new piece of equipment
New hack modules and taunts
New customization colors and patterns

There's $40 more dollars I'm slapping out for this game.

So just multiplayer DLC? I'll pass.

May 13th feels pretty far away.
