the 2 weapon loadout for MP feels Halo-esk. you pic 2 weapons that can compliment each other from what i played from the BETA. works pretty good imo
even if you dont like it, maybe they will have a classic style playlist with weapon pick ups. with Snap Map i dont see how its difficult

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
The armor customization cements this "Doom" game as Gory Halo.

So every game that has character customization is basicly Halo?
And this DOOM plays nothing like Halo.

Someone's never played Nightmare difficulty on DOOM 1. It basically WAS impossible; so much so that even John Romero couldn't finish it and couldn't properly test it (hence the warning "Are you SURE? This skill level isn't even REMOTELY fair!"

Was going to say, might this mean we'll hear beta details soon? Hoping so. Bought Wolfenstein so long ago that I forgot until recently that DOOM beta access came with it..
Its going to be the only way to get people away from downloading this alpha, since apparently the alpha works with online play too.

Taking off the armour "arms". Because nothing says "protection" like sleeveless armour.
Shirtless option pls, full Rambo goes to hell

Haha, right? Not to mention being able to change the color of your armor, or even change your armor in anyway connects to Doom 1/2. I really hope they have armor variants though. I'd love to be wearing classic Doom 1/2 armor.

Which according to the devs you will get murdered in if you try standing still.
Hot strafing action baby. Leaping betwixt fireballs and plasma balls like a ballet dancer whilst loading the Barons full of shells. I am so pumped for May!

It's definitely a thing

...lacks reading comprehension.
Why not, seems to be easier that Doom 1 and 2 with those respawning enemies. Just tougher enemies and not dying in levels seems pretty achievable.

Haven't really paid much attention to this game. Am I ever going to be able to use this beta code I got from wolfenstein? Or did I already miss the boat on that? Haha

We've already had the alpha which was unrelated to that, the beta you're talking about should be coming in the next few months!
I'm expecting next month with an announcement real soon due to the torrent going around

Hopefully there will be a chance for others to join in. NDA in mind, the Doom Alpha was the most fun I've had with a shooter since Halo 3.
Agreed, can't wait to play again
it was great, everyone i let play absoloutly loves it
i hope it isnt just the ALPHA again, like to see more/diffrent stuff

Marty confirmed the Beta will be different from the Alpha.

Yeah, the whole point of the Alpha was just to test server load and weapon balance.

I'd love to get my hands on some SP stuff or even SnapMap, even if both of those things are highly unlikely since pulling those off in a beta format would be quite difficult. Regular old DM/TDM has just been done to death these days. I have little interest in running around tiny maps, shooting at other players until I die, respawning, and repeating until the match ends. I honestly don't see the appeal. You'd might as well be playing CoD or Halo. I prefer gameplay (and level design) that's actually fresh and interesting, and that's what the SP campaign appears to deliver in spades.

Who in here's betting on Vulkan implementation for id Tech 6?
None, it's a bit were to late for that. But I would be happy if Doom and wolfenstein could support Vulkan
I'd say it's too early given the API just hit 1.0 and driver support is still in its early days. I doubt Doom will be patched to support Vulkan, but I wouldn't rule out the next id Tech 6 game supporting it (Dishonored 2, possibly, depending on when it hits and assuming Void was indeed an early fork of id Tech 6).

I can't wait to pay this in Nightmare mode just to see how far I can get.

Nightmare reminds me of PS1 Doom where there were no save points mid-level and the game operated on a password save system.
I remember the one Doom II level where you first fought the Cyberdemon had a part at the end where you sprinted across blocks, and if you fell down there was no way out. Now it was a fairly beefy level, so on PS1 Doom if you fell then it meant doing the entire thing over.
SO TENSE.

I will say this, in the name of ALL that's holy, do NOT have ANY part of the beta occur on or near April 20th.
How high are you planning on getting that day?
I totally forgot about the Doom association with that.
Ixion

Yeah, and if someone drummed up that controversy then it would only help sales.
I was hoping Anita Sarkesian's criticism of the violence would receive more attention, since that would also help sales. But alas, no one cares about video game violence anymore.

More leaks/mining from another forum:
All SP Missions, 17 in total.
Was posted on doomworld too but they delete topics about the alpha there now.
Hmmmm that's certainly a lot of regular UAC base sounding maps. That Titan preview looks more appealing!
Yes, they should.

So apparently the dev build had a very large player spike yesterday (highest recorded since November 20th). Could mean nothing, but it looks like they may have started their internal beta.
