New Doom (2016) Thread

There were more game modes planned originally, but I guess they were phased out?

[aphexjh]

maybe they are gonna phase them in. Possibly they will have the snap-map system fuel a kind of crowdsourced level design environment. Would any of you be contribute to this kind of idea?

[VGames]

Heck yeah you know I will.

I so sexie.

Neat! Btw, are there settings to scale down visual fidelity so it could run smoother on older PCs ? (I'll be dealing with it tomorrow after work, but want to know ahead of time )

[The Happy Friar]

Here's all you can currently modify.  "Advanced" is darkened out.

AMD FX 8350 8 core, AMD 7850 2gb, 16gb ram & Win 10-64.  Runs perfectly smooth with everyone on screen at once.

Much better performance than I thought I'd get.

Would of preferred more doom-y weapons though: faster firing RL, DBL, etc.

No separate ammo pickups for each weapon, an ammo crate refills whatever weapon you are using.  That's a neat idea.

Dead players drop special weapon pickups & armour shards. 

Double jumping & auto-vaulting on to ledges is actually pretty awesome.

I wish the MP was more like Doom vs Q3A though. Blech.  :p

EDIT: for fun I'll try installing it on the kids computer.  Way below the mins. 

[The Happy Friar]

Won't start on the kids computer.  Freezes during the Bethesda logo video.  Oh well, worth a shot.

[motorsep]

Yeah, that's what I get. No Doom for me then

EDIT: Aha, only took cmd line agruments to skip video and 15-20 min of patience to get this sucker loaded.... just to find out there are servers running :/

[The Happy Friar]

My initial impressions of the Beta MP is "meh."  Feels like just another competition focused shooter.  It's got a few neat things but nothing I liked about id's older titles MP is in there.  It's as much a change from Doom/Quake MP as CS is.

[The Happy Friar]

Not there for me.
