Perhaps this is just the first of many to come. Maybe Doom is just the start to have Doom II, Quake, Hexen, etc: coming out later.
However, if the Gods of XBLA are listening, oh hear my cries. There is but one game that will bring me joy beyond joy, fun beyond fun, and will bring me back to my days of hauling my big ass PC over to my friends house, throwing in my dual Voodoo 2 cards, and whoopin' dat ass, LAN style................
This must happen.

Having played the SNES, DOS , homebrew PSP, Xbox and various windows source ports of this game, I'm still getting this on XBLA.

This must've been the unannounced major franchise arcade game that was mentioned. I can't wait to play this again! A classic!

Whoa! Now I have to quote Point Break: "It's amazing! ****ing amazing!"
This is great news. Hopefully they'll add in Doom 2 later on as well.

Ooo Quake yes please!
Guess Doom is a start though.
They better not make us wait. >.> I'm sick of getting excited over XBLA games (SF2, Lum, UMK3 etc) only to wait and wait and wait and wait for the dumb thing to actually COME OUT.

IT'S DOOM WTF LOLZ
Seriously though, it controls really nice with right thumb for turning and left thumb for WASD. No 16:9 option or anything crazy, but you can increase the play window all the way up like back in the day (but of course the stats parts stays on the bottom). The movements feel slightly loose like the old days too. It's exactly what you'd expect.

The music is working fine for me, but I didn't notice any smoother textures.
The online deathmatch is fun. On co-op there were plenty of enemies and I like some of the added weapon placement, like the rocket launcher in the first level. However, one of my own teammates purposely killed me and the others had no problem with shooting one another either, so I think I'll just stick to playing cooperatively with people I know.

I have nothing against Doom - loved it back in the day, no question - but it kind of sucks to see this game suddenly show up and right away be up online, while we're still waiting for great titles that were announced months and months and months ago. I'm an Apple fan, so I'm used to (and love) the "we're announcing it, and it's out today bitches!", but again, it stings a little when the list of announced XBLA games gets longer and longer, but the list of ones that have actually made it out gets shorter and shorter in comparison.
I also, hmm... age old FPS titles like Doom just don't hold up in my eyes. But that's me, and I know others disagree.

I played a couple of quick 4 player deathmatches.
Netcode is still up for debate. One game was completely unplayble due to horrible lag stuttering while the next one was completely fine. So it remains to be seen how well this game will work online. Both games reported green net status for all players.
Otherwise, its good ole Doom 1 4 player deathmatch. However, I think they screwed up on a couple of important points: 1. There is no status message update when x player kills y player. Also and more importantly, there appears to be no way to view the current place standings in a given game. Am I in first place, or am I in last place?? Who knows! Whatever...

It's doom alright. Co-op slut in me wouldn't allow me to look away. It's ****ing Doom. Friends interested + co-op = I was sold.
Hopefuully I can get some free time after tomorrow for some real play time. Not a bad filler title for the wait to Gears.

Going to be playing this non stop when I get home from work today! Coooooo-oooop
Played a 4 player ranked DM. It was neat. A little laggy, but it was a connection issue, everyone besides me had red bar pings : |
I ended up winning, lol. hurray.
Oh and the achievements are somewhat easy to get. You get one for finishing a level on nightmare, which is easy as pie for us Doom PC vets. You get one for killing all enemies on Hurt Me Plenty, one for completing a level ( :lol ), one for finding any secret in any level, one for finding all the items in a level, one for completing each episode, one for 50 kills in MP and one for 100. I think that's all..
