Did you get it via email the invite has confused me. I swear I entered my code on the PS Store months ago.

Perjoss3132d ago

Yes it was an email, it said the alpha would appear in my Steam library soon. I didn't fully understand your comment so just to clear it up, the beta access is for anyone that bought the game within the time frame they mentioned, but this alpha access is only for a selection of people from those that are eligible to the beta.

KillerPwned3132d ago

Alright I bought it when it was on sale around April from gamefly that came with the code and I just followed the instructions to redeem, must of not gotten in the alpha then.

Closed Alpha Test Gameplay Features

One Map: Heatwave
The Alpha will feature 1 multiplayer map: Heatwave. This industrial-themed map will place players in an arena setting featuring plenty of armor, ammo, and health pickups. Narrow corridors, walkways and small chambers all link to a central, open area of the map, providing players with a variety of environments that suit varying playstyles, as well as the focus point for fighting over key power-ups.

One Mode: 6v6 Team Deathmatch
Welcome to the core of DOOM’s arena-style multiplayer combat. In this mode, two teams of 6 players will try to dominate each other by fighting over the Revenant and Gauss Rifle power-ups, which provide devastating firepower that can turn the tide or ensure victory.

One Demon: Revenant
Being the first player to the Demon Rune will transform you into the powerful Revenant. Use your jetpack and dual rocket launchers to hunt down the other team for a limited time to either secure your team’s lead or mount a comeback.

One Power Weapon: Gauss Cannon
Available as a counter to the Revenant, this high-powered weapon destroys opponents in one blast. Use the alternate fire to see your targets through walls, but be warned, there is a limited number of shots, so use it to take down the demon rather than enemy players. Once you’re out of ammo, you have to wait for it to appear on the map again.

6 Weapons and 2 Equipment Items
The Closed Alpha will feature a limited arsenal of weapons and items featured in the complete game. They can be used both in standard and customizable loadouts.

Weapons

Vortex Rifle
Super Shotgun
Repeater
Rocket Launcher
Static Cannon
Plasma Rifle

Equipment Items

Personal Teleporter
Frag Grenade

6v6 sounds too chaotic even for DooM. I always liked smaller deathmatches, 4v4 or 3v3 or 2v2. I hope this doom adequately supports Dueling.

Snapmap allows you to create your own game modes

WilliamUsher3133d ago

In the old Doom it supported up to 16 players across all of the game's single-player maps. Depending on the map depended on how many players could be in the map and how hectic it was.

That is to say, there was a lot of variety and choice in the multiplayer back then. I prefer the devs adding in the options and letting players decide how many or few players they want to play with in multiplayer.

But as Perjoss points out, thankfully players will get to decide a lot of these options with the Snapmap creation suite.

I wish a playable alpha demo build would leak for this game like it did for Doom 3. I played the hell out of that!
