The lack of any sp dlc was money left on the the table.
Absolute agree. I would have enjoyed it more if it had been half as long. My OCD led to me completing it, but it felt like a major slog.I'll never understand why people like this Campaign so much.
Surely people can agree that it drags and gets boring real quick ;/
Unnecessary weapon switching all over, which is shadowing one of the game's largest problems.
There is little purpose for the vast majority of the weapons.
My only complaint with the campaign was the difficulty curve is backwards. The game starts off hard but once you get some decent weapons (mainly the super shotgun) it becomes a breeze. Each time I start a new file, I have to play smart/conservative for the first few missions and then plow through the rest.

Gotta disagree with this entirely. Each weapon had a very unique purpose. Playing on nightmare you couldn't just use two weapons like the easier difficulties. Nightmare is no joke.
I have to disagree entirely here. Playing on Nightmare is, even more, reason to just use DbS and Siege
The ONLY time another weapon is useful are the micro rockets for making bosses die faster.
Then you have Arcade Mode where Stun Bomb and Explosive Shot are essentially only to attacks you will use.
The game is good. I hate the ending. Sick of cliffhanger stuff in Bethesda games.
Loved it, just wish it was less about arenas.
It was just progressing, kill room, progressing, kill room. The gunplay is excelent and all that, but Doom is more than that.
Particularly when it would have been a perfect opportunity to rectify the repetitive nature of the base game.
I'll finally be starting this soon.
They added an arcade mode? Can that be played straight away or do you have to unlock it first?
Is that how I should play it, first time out?
I liked Doom 3 better.
It was moody, darker, more serious.
This new DOOM was like the original, true, but it got a bit old just running around really fast blasting everything away wave after wave after wave.
Doom 3 was like a building up of dread feeling.
It's Doom 3 thats the odd one out, though. Doom 1 and 2 were fast paced with lots of big arenas that required dodging of projectiles and a super high tempo. I'm really glad Doom 2016 is Doom 1/2 not 3.I remember enjoying Doom 3 more too, and for those same reasons. The slower pace didn't hurt at all. The emails and voice messages on various employee's PDAs giving their accounts of the weird goings-on leading up to the invasion was a nice touch, adding some background and additional atmosphere to the game, as well heightening that sense of dread on occasion. It's a better game than many gave it credit I think.
I can't knock the new Doom though. It is really good, but feels more like Quake dressed up as Doom than any of the previous Doom games, not that that's a bad thing. It's arena-like battles are a lot of fun.
Although Arcade Mode is immediately available I believe, play the single player campaign the first time around just to get accustomed to the game and the levels. Arcade Mode also lacks the bosses.I'll finally be starting this soon.

Did they end up enabling SLI support?

I was waiting for SLI support to get back into it, but it seems they never bothered.
I liked the demo a lot but was kind of turned off by the execution melee kills to regain health mechanic. I guess I'm old fashioned when it comes to my Doom and prefer to let the shotgun do the work. Is it possible for a mediocre player like myself to get through the game without using executions?
Good game but so overrated in my eyes. Got so boring and repetitive midway through the campaign, thought Infinite Warfare and Titanfall 2 had better campaigns last year.
I feel the same way. Fun game, but highly overrated. With that said, I'm excited for a sequel
Nope. Executions are essential to the gameplay loop. FWIW I thought they were dumb at first but once everything started clicking I got used to them. Helps that they're very fast.
