DOOM Open Beta Gets Slammed by Steam Reviews Before It's Even Released

The DOOM Open Beta is set to begin in just a few hours, but its Steam page has already been flooded with negative reviews from playtesters complaining that it's not really an arena shooter in multiplayer.

[LavaLampGoo]

I don't remember the last 'arena shooter' I played. Seems weird for people to complain about an updated game featuring updated design, however much I loved Unreal Tournament back in day

[spicelicka]

Halo 5 is the only arena game I've played in a long time. The arena mode of it I mean.

You don't have loadouts, you don't level up, you don't get any XP for unlocking anything gameplay related, you have equal starts with weapons carefully placed across the map, and all arena maps are symmetrical.

Those are the first-most primary characteristics of arena shooters. Then there are things like hit detection, no auto-aim, bullet magnetism, etc etc. DOOM doesn't seem to have the base features.

It still looks really fun though, I can only know after playing it.

[Elit3Nick]

The only one that isn't true is that all arena maps are symmetrical. Some of Halo's best maps are asymmetrical in nature, Zanzibar, Guardian, and High Ground being prime examples.

[Erik7357]

halo has some asymmetrical maps in its arena playlist.

[equal_youth]

Can't be to difficult to implement an old school arena mode with picking up weapons but sad to hear they already designed the game a different way.

[ChronoJoe]

I think it is really fun, it just isn't an 'arena shooter'. Going in with that expectation is going to lead to disappointment, obviously.

[Volkama]

Quake 3 had plenty of asymmetrical maps too ;)

I still really want Halo 5s multiplayer to come to PC, in terms of design it is one of the best multiplayer shooters available at the mo and it'd suit PC just fine.

[LAWSON72]

Gears and Halo are arena shooters though some entries are more than others.

[CanadianTurtle]

What? No, Gears is not an arena shooter bro.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

People are upset because the game is not an arena shooter at all. Bethesda just marketed the mp as being old school, it simply isn't. Also all the complaints from the alpha (way back in Decemember 2015), seem to have hit a deaf ear. The game is fun, but poorly balanced and can get frustrating, when too many players use vortex rifle, super shotguns and rocket launchers.

[itBourne]

Seems weird for people to complain about an "updated" game?

Lol, maybe thats because people dont want the "updated/CoD" game? Some people like old school gameplay mechanics. Just because you can pull off better action based gameplay in an rpg now does not mean all rpgs should be action based... some people like other rpg mechanic battles. The same goes for shooters, not EVERY shooter should be a CoD or in your case "updated" infested game.

[BellePelouse]

Just download the alpha to the new UT, i'm pretty sure its public

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Playing this game made me appreciate how modern feeling of an Arena shooter Halo is. Halo is also vastly underrated in the graphics department. It's a pretty game and the engine scales up wonderfully. The Doom beta felt terrible.

[DrumBeat]

It's damn fun. That's all that matters.

[Summons75]

Best mulitplayer I've played in years.

[ShadowKnight]

I like it a lot

[Bobafret]

I am having a blast with it. Are these people playing the same game?

[KwietStorm_BLM]

That's really just ignoring other people's opinions.

[Bobafret]

I tend to ignore people who are so jaded they can't seem to enjoy anything.

[DLConspiracy]

Those people are whining about quite a lot though. Little stuff too.

[hardcorehenry]

@Boba fret

Up vote for being supremely agreeable. Haters are so boring.

[OoglyBoogly]

Oh so you enjoy everything? Nothing you don't dislike? If no then you're being a hypocrite. If you like simplistic gameplay then good on you. If people who don't like that are jaded does that make you a simpleton?

[Bobafret]

All I ever seem to see anymore are people bitching and moaning about the most trivial stuff in a game. That is what we call "entitled". I understand if a game is truly broken or just plain sucks, fair enough to complain.

[Mulletino]

I played three matches and I'm surprised they released this beta. In my opinion this multi-player sucks and my excitement went from a 8 to a 1/2.This is nothing we've come to expect from next gen and from the excitement of the "game play" videos.

[GearSkiN]

yup what happen to picking up weapons in the map! I like the game but WTF.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

They're just idiots. Dooom's MP is a blast, haven't had much fun in a FPS in ages

[Summons75]

probably COD kids who don't know what real mulitplayer is like.

[FlameBaitGod]

Summons plz don't ever comment again lol, first in COD you don't pick up guns in different locations(at least when I used to play it... 4 years ago). Second, real multiplayer's started on PC, the first fps to have online was CS in 1999. Third, PC has the hardest fps with 0 aim assist.

Go back to your aim assist games

[Khaotic]

Yeah real skill gap with keyboard and mouse

[NarooN]

@Flamebait

Fps's were online way before CS in '99. CS began as a Half-Life mod and Half-Life already had built-in online multiplayer. People were playing the original DooM games over the net back in the early 90's, and Quake really was the birth and godfather of e-sports as we know it way back in 1996.

[intellegent]

@Flame PC FPS don't need aim assist because pointing a mouse is tremendously easy compared to analog sticks.

[warriors_13]

this new doom is "real" multiplayer? lol

quake 3 is probably the best arena shooter of all time. this new doom is a tank simulation re-skin of halo that's even more newb friendly with weapon loadouts.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

Just the so called "PC Master Race" throwing the rattle outta the pram, always moaning about something lol

[Revvin]

"the first fps to have online was CS in 1999."

LOL seriously? Please go and look up Quakeworld and Qspy, we were playing online across the Internet long before 1999, when you've learned all about Quakeworld, look up Kali, Gamespy and a whole host of games played across the Internet. Back in 1995 I was using a DOS PPP/SLIP script to play online with hundreds of players all in one arena in Warbirds. All that was long after I was playing multiplayer Doom and Duke Nukem across a modem and special BBS services before the Internet.

[SnakeforPresident]

Unless there was an edit, dude said nothing about PC and this guy just came out with a false PC history lesson. Your insecurities are showing

[ShottyGibs]

@FlameBaitGod

Lol... you think the first multiplayer was CS in 1999?!

Oh young one.. how cute.

Love when a n00b makes it up as he goes along. You got called out real good.

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

Actually the worst parts of this game are the things ripped from Black Ops III which ripped them from Destiny. I mean did we really need horrible ass gestures and colorful rainbow skins to come into Doom? It makes the match endings look generic like extreme casual gamer type of shit, aka mobile trash. But besides those things it's a fun game.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

Got to agree there. The gestures and BS at the end are terrible!!! Should just be dark, bloody, and scary as hell!!!

[T2X]

I know. What's this fascination with emotes and gestures? Who cares.

[FlameBaitGod]

Playing over the net way before the 1999's huh ? I guess that's y the original Doom had local multiplayer only in 1996 because Dial-up online connections or even broadband at the time were not good quality AND CS did start as a mod but Valve made an official release of the game and that game was the first to run flawless online. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six in 1998 was the first true online game but it had its problems, CS came and fixed that.

@Chillstep

So easy that if you google it you will see that m/k has a higher learning curve that controller. I love seeing these comments, keep them smart comments coming!.

Lmfao easier with m/k when console games have aim assist on most of them LULZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[SnakeforPresident]

You guys need to pick a story and stick with it. It can't be that controllers can't compete with m/k because of the precision of a mouse AND that its harder to play with m/k. That makes exactly zero sense. Aim assists varies wildly from game to game.

[FlexLuger]

@SnakeforPresident

Dude....You just said EVERYTHING that needed to be said. Im getting tired of hearing PC gamers bang on about their skill...these guys are blowing smoke ouit there ass! if KB/M makes em so beastly, why do I always hand their asses to them on hawken with my elite controller, and before that...an X360 controller.

Its far more difficult to be accurate with a analogue stick than a mouse. sticks are by nature LESS accurate than a mouse...and yet me with my console honed skills, possese better insticts and reactions to them.

The top 5000 players on halo could smoke ANY PC gamer on any shooter if the situation was a completekly even playing field. I played against enough PC gamers on enough games to know that only 20% of those players I played against can even slightly boast about their skill. the rest of them are regular cats hiding behind the myths PC gamers like to tell to themselves.

I cant wait for a cross play MP FPS to show up becaus emy boys will scalp PC gamers for fun ALL..DEEE...TIME...

[NarooN]

You don't have a clue d00d, literally everything you said was completely wrong. Even the first Doom could be played over the net, and that was 1993. The dial-up modems of the time were "quality" enough that netplay matches with low player counts were perfectly playable. CS already ran "flawlessly" well before Valve got their hands on it in 2003 (when 1.6, aka the Steam release happened.)

Rainbow Six was not the first "true" online game. Your history is hilariously incorrect and erroneous.

[FlameBaitGod]

You can google all of this NarooN lol and Dooms 1993 multiplayer was eventually made available through the DWANGO service. It didn't come with the game + it was HORRIBLE, anyone who actually played it can tell you that.

"dial-up modems of the time were "quality" enough that netplay matches with low player counts were perfectly playable."

Lulz!, 1990's and quality modems in the same sentence, you must be a comedian or under 15 years old :D!

@FlexLuger
Hey your getting tired huh ? Google "Were PC Gamers Too Good For Microsoft's Cross-Platform Gaming Project?"

Have fun reading.

"Aim assists varies wildly from game to game"
Yet you still have it

[warriors_13]

lol @FlexLuger spewing off random stats out his ass like they are facts. no one cares what you or your dudebros can do with an analog stick. anyone with any sense of logic can tell you a mouse is way more accurate/simple to use. need proof? try using an internet browser on a console.

[MilkMan]

Whats the problem now...(sighs)

[Perjoss]

Its not a good sign. Usually when you get a 'mostly negative' rating on Steam there is 1 main reason for it in the user reviews, like badly implemented DRM or really bad optimization. But after reading quite a few user reviews everyone seems to be complaining about he game itself, saying that its not fun and the weapons feel really unbalanced.

Its still beta, but to be honest we are so close to release that I don't think they have time to make big changes. I really hope the single player is good as I'm not really interested in the multi anyway.

[ReesesPuffs]

The game is a lot of fun and doesn't have any major problems with it (at least in the beta). People are just upset it's not 100 percent Quake or original Doom. I wouldn't be too worried about it to be honest.

[DLConspiracy]

That's exactly what it is. It's like they are saying "why can't this be Quake?" Doom is mostly a single player game. I personally don't mind the MP at all.

[OoglyBoogly]

It does have some issues though, at least some MOST would agree with like the two gun limit, no guns on the map to pick up, OP demon power up, etc.

You people are acting like it's some flawless spotless game and to a lot of people, especially those that know what a good online FPS should be like, it just isn't. I was one of those here that actually played Doom when it was released. I'm one that been's playing multiplayer FPS's since the beginning. Even I quit the "beta" two matches in.

It's just lame.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

DOOM is known for the single player campaign .

[DefenderOfDoom2]

Almost forgot DOOM is also known for being the first FPS 'deathmatch' game . But when Quake came out ,i remember people upgradeing their PC's just to play the Quake multiplayer . Quake was the game that made multiplayer online 'deathmatch' uber popular .

[Muzikguy]

Beta*

That's what games should say nowadays. I don't believe they even know what the term beta means anymore. Back in the day a beta meant it was still a ways off. Nowadays it's just a term used to coin a sort of "demo". They don't have time to fix anything from these betas anymore

[NarooN]

Yep. I remember back in the day doing actual alpha and beta tests for the PS2. Usually you'd get sent a physical package through the mail containing beta feedback guides, info about the game, the game disc itself, and maybe some free swag (fun fact, in the tech industry, swag stood for "stuff we all get.") You had to be invited/selected to participate in them and the common amount of testers was typically around 100 or less people. The tests took place many months ahead of release as well.

These days? They give 'em out as pre-order bonuses or just make them "open" which is another way of saying "internet server stress test" or "multiplayer demo". There's no way they can/will change anything significant from this build to the final gold copy as the game launches next month.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

Exactly that's why I laugh when people say "it's just the beta" nowadays the beta is pretty much accurate of the final product!

[SnakeforPresident]

They're network betas. Baring something drastic gameplay is usually 99% set. The betas are for testing netcode and stress test the servers. Still betas.

[Muzikguy]

@snake

That's not what betas are. We can't just make things up as we go along and change the meaning to things. If it's a network test you call it that. No need to mislead your customers. Also, these network stress tests have shown they don't even work. They're still going to crash Day 1.

I really have a problem with people using the term beta in the wrong way. They're trying to make people feel like they're more involved in the creation of these games. We're just testing their servers which shouldn't need testing. This isn't late 90s anymore

[FITgamer]

I enjoy it, but it would be better IMO if they ditched the loadouts and health/armor pick-ups. Also that damn shotgun needs to be nerfed.

[Elit3Nick]

Health/Armor pickups are fine, as long as there's no too many of them, but they definitely need to ditch the loadouts and put the weapons across the map like in Quake and Halo.

[Phill-Spencer]

At least they should make a classic mode. I love the game so far but that is one of tthe very few things that are bothering me.

[spicelicka]

All they need to do it add an arena mode, it can't be that hard. Just the same maps, one with loadouts, one with equal starts.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

I think they will.

My only complaint is there is no RUN button. Hopefully they will have one in DOOM campaign.

[Bobafret]

Yeah, even the rocket launcher seems underpowered compared to the shotgun.

[Muzikguy]

I was excited to try it after work tonight but now I'm not so sure. I'm at the end of Zombi finally, and shut it off to test out this "beta". I actually don't have my hopes up for it because I'm more interested in the single player, but I'll still check it out. The game looks like it plays nothing like the original, or even Doom 3. I'm not so sure I like the faster pacing

I'll try and keep an open mind though

[Toiletsteak]

I have just been playing it and i'm having a lot of fun with it.

[Trilithon]

i just hope the single player is fun!

[Atomicjuicer]

I like it but it feels a bit arcadey for doom. I cancelled my preorder because the campaign seemed too heavy on the satanic side and lacking from a sci fi perspective.

I'll pick it up eventually though.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

You know DOOM is a game where you battle demons from HELL. DOOM is not a sci-fi game.

[Trilithon]

lol

[DLConspiracy]

*head in palm

[brianunfried]

We don't have enough Sci-Fi shooters, nothing but satanic shooters these days.

[Trilithon]

lmao

[Concertoine]

Honestly thought we were back in the 90's, that was the last time i even heard the word satanic

[franwex]

Hahaha, too Satanic? Dude, this is DOOM! I WAS thinking the opposite and thought it felt too sci-fi like DOOM 3 or Quake and generic. If anything it needs to have MORE satanic elements.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

'HELL Yeah!!!!!!'

[BoriboyShoGUN]

Just wow!!! DOOM!!!!! Where the gates of hell have opened!!!! Lmao!!!!

[T2X]

Doom was always "Arcadey".

[Ocsta]

People are whiny bitches... wow.

[mEATgrinder]

It is fun, but I think it may feel old fast

[Christopher]

Steam should lock the ability to rate a game until it's actually released.

I get people being upset, but this isn't the way to go about communicating that. And, it's infantile in nature since they're rating a game based solely on one facet and not the entirety of the game.

I would bet that a lot of people who played the MP would enjoy it in some format, but instead they are so adamantly focused on it not being exactly as they thought it would be. Sure, not everyone, but it's hard to say that just because it's not an Arena MP mode that it's deserving of being rated lowly. Why don't other games get rated the same for their lack of Arena mode?

[Chaosdreams]

I agree. It makes no sense how people can give a review on something when all they've experienced is a sliver of the game. People can have their opinion but if the game isn't even out yet, it seems a little, childish, to bash it just because they don't like the experience they've tried so far.

Now once a game is released, they can go nuts if that makes them feel better.

[NarooN]

The reviews are for the beta, not the actual game. They are valid, however much anybody may disagree with the content of said reviews themselves.

[VJGenova]

They are reviews of the beta, not the game itself. There are no reviews on the game's main page.

[Christopher]

Typically these carry over to the main game reviews as the release game is used in the same place as the beta.

Betas shouldn't have reviews, only opinions on them. There are forums for raising complaints. This is just people who are unable to express themselves constructively and instead act out harshly at any slight towards their preconceived notion of what the game should be.

And I say this as a person who has zero care for DOOM or games like it.

[DLConspiracy]

Well these are reviews of the actual Beta. Not the full game. It's a separate page all together. Which is probably a good thing though I'm sure that will carry over into the games reviews once it's launched. I think it's still pretty nit picky crap to whine about a game not being 100% Quake. The original doom I don't even remember there ever being MP. Only in Doom 3 which some people had issue with as well.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

Reply to DLC.. Yes there was a deathmatch mode in original DOOM . I remember back in 1995 playing on the original PlayStation . You needed to 2 PlayStations , 2 TV's, 2 copies of DOOM and 1 lan cable . Me and my friend played a lot of DOOM Deathmatch back in 95 ,96 ..

[DLConspiracy]

@defender

I must have forgotten about that. I don't remember it in the original Doom. I looked up and saw that they had it for DOOM 2 and I remembered Doom 3. That's crazy though. I remember getting DOOM for my PS1 and I didn't even know you could lan with those.

[VJGenova]

My brother and i used serial cables to play 1v1 deathmatch in doom. We also could make custom levels. Game was far ahead of its time. This was on pc of course. Didn't know consoles had mp back then.

[WellyUK]

shouldn't be able to review a game on steam unless you have brought it or played it either.

[Picnic]

I've always liked Quake more, it's more 'medieval'. Apart from Quake 4. Quake 3 beats all multiplayer arenas.

[Alexious]

Thing is, arena shooters these days aren't that hot anymore for a lot of gamers.

[warriors_13]

yup, the average gamer love their generic shooter. that's exactly the problem. they just want easy, newb friendly games so they feel a sense of instant achievement instead of learning a new game and getting good at it.

i don't understand why people want all their games to play so similarly? why not have variation instead of another halo game?

i hope they make a new quake game that's a real arena shooter as there are none these days.

[sullynathan]

well yeah, this game looks like shit, isn't as fast as DOOM 1 or 2, does not have level design as good as them and has a low level of skill entry and microtransactions out of the ass plus I can't play this crap on PC because of a stupid D44M 64 error.

There is a huge focus on this loadout, customization crap and the game isn't fast and it seems like it has a hint of Halo influence.

But this is N4G in which if you criticize something that you're supposed to like by the hivemind they will call you a "whiny bitch", think you're a COD fan and/or try to dismiss your opinion.

[DLConspiracy]

Or some people have their own opinions. Having errors is a valid concern. As someone want to play it but cant. Doom is mostly a single player game. We have not played that portion yet. Although inknow some have.

Some people are trying to catagorize this game as QUAKE and all the rules that apply to that game. It's not Quake and even when Doom 3 had Multiplayer people tore it up for not being this and that back then too.

As far as the MP aspect of the game. What rules does a game have to follow from the franchise of mostly only single player games anyway? Only one of its games in the franchise had MP anyway? ALSO what microtransactions?

[sullynathan]

DOOM is single player and multiplayer, that's why its always had both components.

Every DOOM main entry has had multiplayer and single-player. stop lying or being ignorant.

[DLConspiracy]

@sully

You care to show me on steam which one of those games has MP? Because I fail to see which game other than Doom 2 and DOOM 3 (LIKE I SAID) has MP. I forgot Doom 2 had it, but I'm not a liar or ignorant like you said. No need to be an @$$hole about it. I didn't call you a liar or ignorant.

Plus you didnt answer the other questions Mr. Bad attitude.

[sullynathan]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

You were one google search away from getting all the info you needed.

[DLConspiracy]

@Sully

I didn't experience DOOM multiplayer. MY BAD.

It's always been a single player experience to me. I still don't appreciate being called a liar. I wasn't lying. I simply didn't remember it. You seem very upset about this game. Maybe you should go play the old games and stop whining. NOTHING is ever going to be the same as you remember. If you want that go back and play the old games.

[VJGenova]

If you haven't seen this yet, you should check it out.

https://m.youtube.com/watch...

Retroahoy retrospective on the Doom series. Good stuff!

[sullynathan]

@DLCConspiracy that's why I said "or ignorant". I'd appreciate it if you didn't send me stupid PM's either. No one owes you respect and I'm not an asshole. Going by your comment, you are ignorant to a lot of things about D44M

[Alexious]

Agreed, it really looks bad and doesn't run great either, too.

So much for resurrecting idTech...

[DefenderOfDoom2]

If the new DOOM multiplayer wants to like Quake . I would rather have a 'Quad damage pickup' rather than having a 'turning into a Demon pickup'.

And please , give us a 'Free-For-All Deathmatch' mode.

[DLConspiracy]

They have quad and the yellow one that shoots faster in the game. I hope they have deathmatch for sure. If you go to your "Profile" and then "statistics" it gives you an idea of the MP modes in the beta.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

Reply to DLCons.._ cool thanks. .._

[bobacdigital]

I dont get why there is no use of the shift key to run or walk... Why do we need load outs.. the game would have been perfect to either A start everyone with the weapons ala arena mode .. or just spawn weapons normally...

Also in doom 2 every weapon was balanced so well you could be lethal with almost any gun... Plasma + red screen ... double barrel at medium to short... rockets anywhere...

This games damage is so weak it is almost like playing quake 3... you can rocket splash someone 5 times and still have to load them up with plasma for another 10 minutes before they die..

[warriors_13]

its because of weapon loadouts. all weapons have to be equally weak or else you'd just have everyone spawn with rockets. another reason why this game sucks.

[scark92]

I really enjoyed the closed beta

[EazyC]

Jeez, I like it, but the fact players have so much health (that doesn't regenerate) makes a second gunfight in a row feel futile. The enemy, with the full health, is going to destroy you, who has assumably taken a 40%+ hit in health. Feels unfair. I dunno, maybe I have to learn how to get health pickups

[Bahamut-Shin]

"He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot will be victorious"

try retreating, you know, using your head rather than your gun? that is how old FPS were, not about blating your way out but fighting knowing you are a mortal and not wolverine.

that is how real gun fights work.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

There definatley seems to be balancing issues for sure. They need to seriously nerf melee kills. That's the cheapest thing I've experienced so far. They should also give your double jump a bit more of a boost. It don't even feel like it works. Rockets should do more damage, I had a dude single shot me with a shotgun after I put 4 rockets in him on his way up to me. There could also be a lot better alt fire options as well. But I hit level 15 and am still having fun. But the Beta def. has made me lose my cool a few occasions with WTF? And HOW? Moments

[N4GJD]

This game is really mediocre all the way around!

[generationjeu]

Bethesda PR: Best-selling Doom game since Doom 3.

[FPS_D3TH]

Haters on the Internet? Ya don't sayyyy. Enjoy you're petty squabbles. I'll be out having fun enjoying games.

[ThePresentIsAgift]

I love it, excellent graphics, perfect control, fast paced, smooth and responsive, the first, fps I've played in years where I haven't had to adjust controls to my liking. Well worth the legendary wait, the guns are very satisfying and have a nice heft to them.

It immediately slapped me as the spiritual successor to Quake 3/4 both of which I loved. For me it's an essential purchase.

[thelaughingwiseman]

Didn't know how this game can be arena. I am interested in the Single Player portion of the game. I was bummed to hear it was short (11 hours). Online features in games like these seem like a neet idea. i think they will update it and work out the kinks to make arena mode enjoyable.

[1nsomniac]

I think the biggest issue people are having is that it's COD focused with weapon load-outs & perks. No Doom game ever had this. A lot of the fun back in the day was running to the nearest location where the best gun could be found or best power up. There is still elements of this but the fun has been removed from it because they're not really that important anymore.

[Maxor]

Doom with weapon loadout is not Doom. The problem is that when it's not Doom it turns into just any other online shooter.

[1nsomniac]

Agreed. I think they would've been far better off adding it to the Quake franchise rather than Doom. At least it would ever so slightly fit in better.

[Lionalliance]

I been playing the Beta and i dunno... it feels very Haloish.

[masterbates]

Hope single player is better than the multi player. Played for 10mins really not impressed.

[mep69]

I think the main issue is the Loadouts, it's stupid.

[SnakeforPresident]

COD = shit for being the same thing everytime, DOOM = shit for not being EXACTLY the same as games that are old enough to drive. Got it internet

[CYBERHATER]

The games textures look amazing! and then when you shoot a disgusting monster, It explodes with gore, beauty, blood, and shiny health packs? shiny health packs? You see its the little things that matter. You see I don't remember glowing shiny armored health packs exploding like pinatas from my victims in any doom game i have ever played and just seeing that was an instant turn off for me. I might get a clip or two but I had to find my own ammo. I also dont like the glowing execution either. They should be limping, crawling, or mortally wounded to a point that they fall into my arms begging for a mercy kill. Thank God for the PC mod community or this game would be dead on arrival for Me. The absolute first order of business is to have those changes removed before I even look at the game again for purchase. Oh and I could care less for the multiplayer. Coop would be nice edition if done correctly.

[FlexLuger]

Well...I like this game, so I dont care who doesnt.

[opinionated]

I can't even get into a match... And the waiting music is AWFUL. Where is the death metal?! This industrial emo noise is making me rage.

[Tressybon]

Ok seriously this game can look a bit like Halo but it doesn't mean its Halo though. Everyone keeps on saying "its exactly the same as Halo they have completely ripped off Halo", well the funny thing is that DOOM was made first even before the first Halo came out so really Halo is the one that is ripping DOOM off from the start, because a lot of the Halo aliens look like some of the DOOM demons from the DOOM franchise, so that clears one bit up. The other reason why people are complaining is that they got a really crappy computer that cant even run the game and they know it, they wont even admit their computer is bad that's why they are putting negative reviews up. But meanwhile on the playstation store and xbox store the ratings for the game is very high, because for a starter you don't need to worry about lag and you get good gameplay, graphics and FPS rate. So everyone who is complaining about the game on PC go and play it on a ps4 or xbox one then you will realize how good it is.

[BlackDoomAx]

Idiots or other fps maker trying to diss. Simple as that :-)
