Too many classic franchises have come back, only to be pale shadows of their former selves with all that made them great ripped out. Amy at IGCritic states that "I think many of us jumped into the DOOM multiplayer open beta, either on PC or console, hoping to have these worries assuaged."
Doom is like running down an escalator to Hell. It is run-and-gun in its purest form: a non-stop showcase of shotgun spray, demonic possessions, and glory kills.
"Reviving an old franchise such as this one will always come with a burden of trying to balance appealing to new players while providing a faithful sequel to long-standing fans. Based solely on the beta, I’m not certain either camp will be terribly pleased with the result in this case..."
I never once viewed Doom as a multiplayer game. The beta was bad, but it's the single player we all care about anyway.
id Software has announced that the DOOM open beta will kick off in Australia at 2 pm today.
Icky, just terrible! It's worse than baked bads! Avoid like a parasprite plague!
If I wanted to play a last gen Shooter...I would buy UT3...This game does nothing for me...Maybe the actual game will be good...The multiplayer sucks...My opinion
Dam this is extremely disappointing. Maybe they can fix these gripes since it is beta.
Slapping Call of Duty and Halo gameplay into the Arena shooter isn't going to be positive when it comes to Doom. Not to mention horrible weapon balance.
I lasted few hours before realizing single player is the only saving grace I will keep my eye on since I loved the previous games and original Doom was my first FPS game I have fond memories off.
Becouse it borrows so heavily from franchises that weve been getting for over a decade and as a result it feels OLD. If i want to play Halo or COD ill play those games, i wont buy this shitty hybrid.
The multiplayer just didnt feel like a "DOOM" multiplayer. I need more. More action, need npc demons running around killing both teams, need more blood, need more players. When i think of DOOM, I just think of over-the-top mayhem. And this multiplayer demo did not do that for me.
