Great news. Haven't played it in a while

Garethvk2850d ago

I played again a week ago. Fun but new stuff is most welcome.

LMAFO, the DLC weapon is a gun from the campaign.

Garethvk2850d ago

Hey, you are not supposed to notice that.

Sciurus_vulgaris2850d ago (Edited 2850d ago )

This game in the long run is going to suffer from having a season pass, it's MP doesn't have the player count to be split up. Also adding more guns, demons and timed perks to an already imbalanced (albeit fun in small dosages) mp , isn't gonna help the game. I hope Bethesda releases a campaign expansion (like they did with Wolfenstein). The expansion could also have reworked mp. By reworked mp, I mean the old school, fast paced, weapons on map, no BS multiplayer Bethesda pretended the game was during marketing.

I hope they announce a sale for the season pass at QUAKECON next week .

I believe ID Software / Bethesda said they are going to add old school DOOM free-for-all deathmatch for free sometime in August .

And please give us some single player DLC sometime in the near future!!

Sciurus_vulgaris2850d ago

Bethesda should add an old school playlists, with the guns on map, no hack modules and loadouts also.

Garethvk2850d ago

Take it straight up retro, all t feature and play of the first two games.

Sciurus_vulgaris2850d ago (Edited 2850d ago )

@Garethvk If the mp had been more retro focused, it would of likely been better received and held players longer. Also if the mp was made with a competitive mindset, it may have been able to gain e-sport status.I wish the game had a co-op horde-like survivor mode.

DefenderOfDoom22850d ago

Also, add a sprint button for the DOOM guy to run super fast ,that way you can use the whole levels from the campaign for multiplayer .

Sciurus_vulgaris2850d ago

@DefenderOfDoom2
Not sure if adding sprint is necessary. I do think both jump height and movement speed should be increased. Also your campaign character seems much more agile than the mp marines. Doom unfortunately has a strong dichotomy between single and multiplayer.

I want the co-op as I loved the two person play of the first two DOOM games.
