I've given it a good hour now..

Solid gameplay as far as deathmatch in the Quake Style..

Collect armor,  collect health,

New element is the Demon possession,  Revenant,  which makes you a monster, and you get super strong 1 hit kill rockets.



This is not like csgo,  this is quake.. 


This is kinda like Tf2  but more vertical.. 


What's weird is,  This game is Vertical,  but claustrophobic at the same time..


I think it's due to the color choice, and how everything is shiny orange


I woke up in the middle of the night to play this..

Going back to sleep now.. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/dreaming-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862500)

IDK what games you guys are playing..

But this is Very faithfull to quake..

If you're a Battlefield/Cod guy.. yea,  this takes way more skill and you won't like it..

The speed and pace is very well balanced.

The weapons feel very good, and extremely responsive..

The rocket speed is just right.. the Sniper rifle scope speed, everything is great out of the box..

I agree with you. This is definitely more difficult than COD and others. I was actually rather enjoying the rocket fire and remote detonate as it was great against target out of sight. It is just no for me. I might give it another shot later this weekend.

Yea br0,  give it a good hour,  it's about getting used to the Rhythm and Pacing of the game..

It has a very different beat

Halo is like  ..   ..   ..  ..   ..   ..   ..      ..   ....  ..  ..   ..  ..
Battlefield is like ..                 ..   ..                                ....  ..  ...        ..
Quake is like ..........................................................................
Doom 4 is like  .................  ..   ..    .............  ..  .............................


The largest difference vs other shooters for most ya'll younger guys is the Run speed.


The maps are actually quite large,  but because you're running so fast, it - feels - rather tight..
Title: Re: Doom Open Beta people
Post by: noisyturtle on Fri, 15 April 2016, 16:39:12
Weapons/classes are unbalanced. The jumping physics feel 'wrong.' And I hate the level layouts because they seem extremely dated - reminds me of Unreal tournament/Quake games from a decade ago. It just doesn't feel good or fun to me.
Title: Re: Doom Open Beta people
Post by: sek1ne on Fri, 15 April 2016, 16:45:09
I'm with you on the jumping part. I'm expecting a bit of a rebalance before they actually release it. Hopefully.

I really like the implementation of the double jump

I think SOME of the ledges in the game are not spaced for an Intuitive double jump.. So if you guys are hung up on that...  I could understand..   but That happened in Quake as well..


Timing Jumps used to be A big play component.....  hahahahahaha


You guys must just be too young for this...

I'm not certain if rocket jumping is making a come back,

I think that skill-element is actually so-super-hard that most Younger gamers won't go for it if it was a "requirement"


I'm sure that's why they added the boost jump (double jump),  it's kinda like rocket jump, but more intuitive and easier to control..

Been pretty disappointed in the feedback I've heard on the multiplayer. I was really hoping for what would essentially be Quake 5.

I'll look to download it sometime this weekend and give it a go. Is item control still a big part of the multiplayer? I heard it's not, which is really unfortunate. Quake duels are one of my favorite things in the world and I was really hoping for some Doom duels to become popular.  :'(

Since there's no 1v1 in this beta..

I can't say for sure if item control will be at the LEVEL of quake


However, item control is still certainly an aspect, even in team play, because the demon-spawning is an easy 3-5 kills for your team.. and of course armor control is important..



Also, the people coming into the game haven't really gotten deep into it yet.. It's all just run and gun at the moment.


For the deep gameplay , everyone has to adopt a certain refined play-style first..



For example, even if someone TODAY is doing all the right things..  Because the other players are so bad,  doing all the right things would be the wrong thing to do..

Wow. Runs like garbage on my system. Mind you, it's not super new, but it's decently beefy: i7 3770k, 16 GB RAM, 3 GB GTX 780, SSD. Running at 2560x1440, it's stuttering and unplayable. At 1920x1080 it looks like a nicer Xbox 360 game (muddy textures, etc.). Not to mention that the gameplay has gotten worse since the alpha.

What in the actual **** is going on here? I expected a bit of optimization issues on the PC due to extreme consolitis, but this is nuts. It's completely unplayable on my lower-end system, which runs most AAA titles today at medium settings buttery smooth. My gaming rig can't even run it properly.

I'll pass until it's patched and cheap. Blech.

Not too impressed with it. Don't like the Loadouts or Hack modules...miss picking up weapons. Also the announcer voice feels slightly off, and none of the visuals impressed me and it looks low res and muddy, but I still hold out hope for the campaign. Multiplayer feels more like Halo to me. Hopefully the new UT will bring back the classic fast paced twitch shooters....Doom definitely isn't doing it for me.

Which is funny, cause Rage ran fine on my system back when it came out. And I thought it was a pretty fun (though, too short) game to play. It wasn't too original, but had that "old" feel to it, which I found pretty engaging. I remember being blown away by the graphics, but ultimately let down by the depth/length of the game.

Oh well. The days of old are past now. I will continue to play old games and be happy with them. The kids can have the new stuff and I'll buy a rocking chair. Too bad I can't afford a porch/yard in Toronto.

Btw.. dat music really sounds like wolfenstein the new order / old blood. Basically like they took the tracks and scrambled them a bit. Probably coz both games come from bethesda.

Lightning gun seems to be a support role weapon..

From what I've seen, If you're playing with a buddy, and he's behind you..

The lightning gun is good for weakening the enemy, and all you would have to do is hit him once with the rocket once weakened while playing with your buddy,  whereas, it's hard to support from behind with a rocket..

That's the thing. I hate support roles. in team arena did you also get points for kill assists? I thought in q3 team arena it was just how many your team killed vs how many the other team killed. But perhaps I remember q3 team arena wrong.

Graphics is a mess at this point on the PC,  the advance menu is locked..


But I think there will be some obvious divergence among settings here..

Played it a bit this afternoon, it's alright for a beta. Interested to see how much they change before release given the feedback they're received.

They game is dying for a weapon rebalance and inclusion of strafe jumping. Would be pretty great with some tweaks and better maps. It's unfortunately how they seemed to make a super-reserved, behind-the-times Quake 5.

Fortunately Quake Live is still pretty great, and UT4

Nice cpus and gpus though.

I've recently been told that this "problem" is called "gear acquisition syndrome" (not really a syndrome of course).

I've managed to not buy any new PC (hardware) since October 2010 (except for my home server). How's that for control?

But my late 2010 MacBook Pro is really aging now. Can barely run lightroom smooth. Or 1080p 60ps on YouTube for that matter.

I'm saving up to buy myself a sick rig somewhere Q3-Q4 this year.

The hate this game receives on steam is unimaginable:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/350470/ (http://store.steampowered.com/app/350470/)

I don't know it's 100% warranted, but this is a really fairly poor game from my limited experience. Hopefully the single player stuff is all right. Otherwise, at this point, it's going to be a complete pass for me. I just fired it up again to give it another chance, but it's just not fun.

Either they need to make the single player stuff amazing or they need to throw some old-school options at multiplayer. Progression, loadouts, monster bull****... blech. It's not fun. Oh, and the maps are really, really stingy on space. And the jumping **** is... well, ****.

load outs and leveling....... we are not amused.  i like the game play and the look but i miss the infinite weapon slots :( just feels different to me now.

also if you dont modify your POV your a noob ;)

the leveling doesn't affect gameplay much..

the loadouts, um... for Team Play , I think loadouts are more appropriate than picking up weapons..

They still have pickups, but only for the demon spawn, and super weapon.

hahah.. I thnk it's only in the game to deal with the revenant..

The revenent will easily rack up at least 3 kills, so they put in the gauss cannon to balance that..


IMHO i still think the demon spawn is more powerful than the gauss cannon..

I always really liked memorizing maps for power ups, guns, etc. And that led to a natural power struggle, which made competition engaging. I find that this, like CoD, devolves quickly to just running/gunning, which I find to be really tedious and not too fun.

The lag has been HORRENDOUS. The game runs poorly on decent hardware. It looks ****ty, which is weird for an id game. The leveling system is derivative of every other shooter in the last six or seven years. The kill move stuff was novel at first and then went quickly stupid. I simultaneously exploded a guy while he kill moved me, resulting in a bugged out sequence where I didn't get attributed with a kill.

Anyway, it's just ramshackle. It feels wrong is the best way to put it. They put a new coat of paint on a product that's already on the market and branded it as Doom when it's clearly not.

CSGO must be slower than the only real true CS, which is 1.6 of course. That felt relatively fast paced. Not as fast as Q3.. but I guess no single game is as fast paced as Quake was.

I must say, of all things, I didn't experience any lag on my PS4. And the game only crashed twice. Played it for 6 hours approximately this weekend.

Playing on my PC, and even though my graphics card is somewhat outdated at this point (GTX 760), the game played rather well and looked quite good. Definitely feels like a mashup of DOOM and Call of Duty. Not a huge fan of the loadouts myself, but I got used to them somewhat quick. Ended up playing about 15-20 matches so far, and I had a blast honestly. Could definitely see myself picking this up when it releases. Matchmaking seemed to be hit or miss (could just be the beta), sometimes I'd find a game instantly, other times it would just clock on 'Connecting' and never seemed to connect.

Vortex Rifle + Shotgun = Best Combo

money says there will be a classic doom mod where you dont have to have loadouts. if they allow mods which they should in the spirit of the old school doom stuffs. but we'll see. wait maybe that was quake.. shrug either way. need all the weapon slots.

I miss the days of hardcore gaming. CSGO seems the only viable option now.

Honestly I'm not a fan of the new UT, it looks a little weird, and it's UT so I'll stick to Quakeworld sry I can't let go of the past.

Oh wait, this is the new Doom multiplayer?

 :'(

Hey at least single player looks fun r-right?

Ahh... I'll have to try it out either way  :p
