Runs fine for me.
>>332965275
Okay, Todd Howard
Reminder that Gamestop is giving away Doom beta codes for free all weekend. Just walk in and ask for one. They have codes for PS4, Xbone, and PC. This was hardly advertised at all, so there's no chance they've run out by now. These are completely free. No pre-order necessary.
>>332966467
Or just go to Amazon, make a pre-order, wait 1-2 minutes for a beta invite email, and cancel the pre-order.
This happened to me as well. Just restart it a few times and it will stop.

theres nothing "classic" about it. it's pretty much the definition of tacked on multiplayer
>>332967817
>acting like this game isn't total trash
>>332967964
It's amazingly fun. Maybe you should try it out instead of pretending that you have formed an opinion on it after one game where you got destroyed because you're apparently shit at games in general.
>>332968025
>acting like you have any idea what playing it is like
I, too, assumed that it wouldn't be worth the time it took for me to download it. I had no expectations, I just joined my brother to have something to do for an hour. Instead I've been stuck playing it for 20+ hours now.

I miss the bored "I wanna kill myself" tier announcer from the old closed beta.
>>332965275
Demon mode has a timer? Thats so disappointing.
>>332969869
stick a shotgun in ur mouth and pull the trigger
>>332969860
>ledge grabs
They take less than half a second to perform and have saved me from falling down the wrong ledge. They don't even happen often since you can just double-jump onto most places anyway, so it's more like a safety measure or a very quick helping hand to get you up on a specific platform.
>slow movement
I agree. Wait is this a downside?
>loadouts
I don't mind it, and the map editor will let you set rules including no loadouts and weapon pickups. Also, the strongest weapons such as the Gauss Cannon are pickup only.
>Announcer
Yeah he's kind of ass. It's the only consistent complaint most people have with the beta. Informative, but so BORING to listen to.
>>332964307
>fov65
>melee does like 85% damage
>super shotty does less than 50% damage unless within melee range; then instagib
>rocket launcher does no splash damage outside of a 3 foot radius
this leads to consistently being melee killed by people right next to you that you cant see because of low fov, getting the jump on people with the super shotty, getting two good shots in, and getting killed by either a melee you didnt see or someone who was following you
>constant mouse acceleration makes precise aiming unbearable
>unplayable without vsync
seriously, the low fov and garbage melee makes this unplayable. its actually worse than halo
brb updating UT playing with bots is more fun than this
>>332970191
I find it balanced as it is, and I feel that it would be overpowered as hell if it lasted much longer. It's powerful but not difficult to deal with either - it has 300 health but no armor, and can even be glory killed for extra amusement and instant stealing of the power-up.
As mentioned above, when the Revenant player is killed, it drops the power-up for the other team only, for about 5 seconds. Then it becomes neutral again. The power-up that is dropped has the remaining time left on it though.
Other power-ups include Haste (double attack- and movement speed) and Quad Damage (4x damage, duh). Some weapons can one hit kill the Revenant with Quad Damage.
>>332969860
There's literally nothing wrong with ledge grabs.
>>332968176
The loadouts ruin it. Why are the only spawns one weapon and two power ups? Why is ammo universal? Why are grenades cool down powers?
This isn't a classic shooter in the slightest. All the weapons are inoffensive farting tubes with no kick to them. If they were buffed and only obtainable via weapon spawn, it would be much better.
I'm having fun, thought this would be generic. Surprised at the hidden shit within the maps. Kinda disappointed by the shitty 343 halo armor shit though.
>slow
>loadouts, no pistol start
>more hitscan weapons than projectile, hitscan is more effective
>no stack differences because you only have 100 hp / 50 armor max

i want to punch anyone who says this is similar to quake in the face.

>>332970830
The loadouts are fine. Most modern games use loadouts because it lets people play with the weapons the actually enjoy using. As mentioned above, the map editor will let you disable loadouts and use weapon pickups instead, if you wish (and I expect tons of maps to be made this way).
>one weapon spawn
>two power ups
Beta. Plenty more content is coming on release.
>ammo universal
Wasn't it in the original games? I don't remember, haven't played them in like 20 years...
>grenades
Fuck that shit, I use the teleporter, it's infinitely more useful.
>this isn't classic
It plays like a slower Unreal Tournament with some different other mechanics.
I was weirded out by the fact that you can recolour weapons because I thought it would make the weapons change colour when you pick them up.
Apparently there are no weapon pick ups aside from one power weapon. Fuck this bullshit.
>>332971001
let me explain why youre a faggot
>no fov slider now: game is unplayable NOW
>melee does way more damage than that and is in the top 3 most effective weapons in the game, easily
>super shotty is completely useless and shouldnt be a fucking secondary weapon
>rocket launcher is shit NOW
my opinions express how unfun the game is to play now
all weapons need a boost in firepower and movement speed needs to be increased. thats the major problem. its too slow and most weapons dont do enough power
i direct hit from a rocket isnt an instant kill. how fucking retarded is that?
>>332971261
it plays infinitely worse than UT and not just because of the speed and fov. the weapons are hilariously shittier. the alt fire is almost completely useless 95% of the time the maps are designed around impossible to miss ledge grab double jumps, and the leveling system and power up system is a garbage joke
>>332970767
It stops the whole momentum.
Not like there's many to begin with, the whole movement on the game is shit but this just stops everything.
>>332971261
I'd be fine with loadouts if they were restricted to two or three starting weapons, like a pistol or that weak-ass shotgun from the E3 gameplay. The problem is when you make mid tier weapons like the super shotty or rocket launcher loadouts weapons, they need to be declawed for balance.
>>332971482
>unplayable
You're just shit. Everyone I've played it with has loved it and consistently played well in it. Pic related I guess.
>melee does literally 35 damage
I've kept an eye out on it and it never does more. There's an example in my video posted above somewhere, don't make me look for it myself because I'm lazy though.
>super shotty is an amazing combo weapon, literally everyone uses it because it's GOOD
>yes?
Your opinion is idiotic. Stop being an idiot.
