Linux got ya down? 

Can't wait to get into all of it. The SP, the MP, SnapMap. I'm so freaking excited.

id's working on multiplayer now.

Looking forward E3 announcement. Hopefully they would add ability to stack modules in SnapMap and allow for custom content.

[VGames]

Heck yeah. And also add bot support. Would be good for MP training and custom SP maps where you may want to have a squad follow you around.

The way Nintendo handled mario maker would be idea: as you use the existing content, it unlocks new content, so you're not hit with everything at once.

Although, imho, they're playing "oh crap, we ignored the complainers and they were the majority!" with a lot of what they're talking about.  Three beta periods, lots of the same complaints, and a month+ after release they're acting like they planned on doing this all along.

Update rolling out:

I am hoping that "Added Photo Mode for taking in-game screenshots" is what I proposed to ID yesterday (capturing stereo panoramas for VR) 

Also nice to see SnapMap being develop further. It seems making missions for new DOOM is becoming more and more attractive than modding Doom 3 

[VGames]

Probably a lot easier. Haven't tried it yet. Still campaigning. So fun.

Nice to see that acknowledge the dev mode bug now.  It's only been a month since release.

IMHO they shouldn't do "weapon rebalancing".  They had 3 beta's &, if id remembers anything from previous games, the ability for the server admin to customize weapon/powerup settings has always been a plus.  BUT... they seem to want to not let anyone else touch their server stuff except for them.  

I've read on the steam forums that this game won't work unless you're online.  Anyone experienced that?  I just read today.  Has to do with the DRM I guess. Maybe this weekend I'll give running it a shot with steam in offline mode & disconnecting my internet while steam is open.

[VGames]

I haven't heard that. I know you have to be online for MP and Snapmap but that's it. I'll try it too.

Bots!!!!

[motorsep]

Sounds awesome, but ... no single player expansion pack ?! :/

[VGames]

Give it time. In the mean time we can make our own map packs.

Beat it and almost 100% everything. Best game ever!
