So I played a few matches and it seems fine.
Is it just dumb nostalgiatards getting their panties in a twist as usual because it's not exactly the same as the original?
>>334403213
It's shit so if you like it you like eating shit
Can you make an actual argument or point of discussion? Or do you want this thread to follow the example of your shitty strawman shitposting?
Woah guys i found the guy who's opinion reigns supreme and any other opinion is dismissed as getting your panties in a twist
we can all go home now knowing our vidya will be rated by truly the highest authority on the planet
>>334403213
I think so. It took all the best parts of shooters today and made a fun game. Now will I pay $60 for it? I'd have to see the single player, but so far my bro and I want to go half on it and play until it gets boring.
Like Ratchet and Clank, this would have been stellar as a budget title.

No. The game has shitty movement. Reminds me of bioshock actually.
There's no acceleration or friction. It's floaty bullshit. It's not fast enough and there's literally no commitment to any direction.
Also, why is the double jump in the game if you can't change directions with it?
The gun damage is all messed up as well and the hitboxes are gigantic.
Almost like it's geared towards console players.
How big is the download. Since I probably be buying this ever I want to try it at least.
Maybe.
Or maybe download this instead.

People wanted DOOM and not HALO
>>334403213
It's like a shittier version of unreal tournament tbqhwy
game is epic and has GORE!!
dont listen to the haters
>>334406448
don't bring unreal tournament so low, more like halo: slightly faster edition
>>334406258
People want Quake, not Doom. This is Doom, and Doom was never Quake.
Remove the ability to jump and it will be true to Doom.
>>334403349
>Literally everyone who calls people shills
>>334405543
Double jump would be decent if you had some air control
>>334406934
>air control
Double jump is to get you to a platform so you can be on the ground faster. Doom is not about jumping and air control.
fine,i didn't want a fucking discussion thread anyways, go ahead and jerk off or whatever it is you're doing
fucking ridiculous

It would be fun to have vehicles and RPG mechanics too, but that's not what Doom is.
>>334403532
>People reviewing things based on Nostalgia of games they've never played
Of course the multiplayer is going to be shit we knew that as soon as they showed there would be loadouts. But I'm hoping the single player is good and so far with exception to the shitty monster design, it looks pretty fun.
>>334407282
Why do people think other companies don't hire people to shit on rivals games here?
>Implying you aren't a paid shitposter
I really enjoyed the notice at the start of the game to let the splash screen stutter around for a while
>>334407402
>secrets found 2/3
Yeam it will be fine :^)
>>334405348
>There's no acceleration or friction
Doom 2 has no friction whatsoever feels like you're on ice.
>why is the double jump in the game if you can't change directions with it?
You can't change jump direction while in air since vq3 and doom 1/2 had no jump button.
It's an acceptable game if it didn't have the name Doom.
However, this is like making Shawshank Redemption 2, where it turns out the great escape in the first film was all just a dream and Andy just woke up from his 2-year coma inflicted on him by those homos who forced him to suck their dicks. Even if it somehow turns into a nice film, it still spits on the original.
The game is ok, PC autist just can't take a shooter from what it is, a dumb fun shooter, its just the typical uninformed fanboy hate bandwagonning and and try hards that want every game to be Quake when attemps to make modern games like those have all failed so far, they live in the past and want to prevent games from going on new directions.
I think its fine but doest realy feel like doom at all .
>>334407760
Worst of all they don't play quake otherwise it would've had full servers right now.
>>334407934
Doom is over 20 years old, what feels like it anymore?
>>334403213
>it seems fine

anon those are grounds for a 4/10 game
>>334403213
stfu retard
new doom = a pile of fucking shit rather then make it like the old doom they made it into some halo cawl of doody pile of crap.
>>334407965
Exactly, all they do is bitch on the internet about new stuff that comes out but when someone tries making an arena shooter it gets ignored by them as well, you can't please those fucking manbabies.
>>334407431
the idea that anyone in any given thread could easily be working for a business and actively trying to sway your decisions is a pretty fucking tough pill to swallow.
A lot of effort has gone into making people feel safe online, putting as much personal info on public sites as possible.
It makes me fucking sick
>>334406258
>le halo maymay

Fuck off, original Doom is perfectly playabale with any modern console gamepad, doom is not quake.

People actually say that? Did they lose their shift keys or what?Did they even play Doom?
>>334403213
Basically. The games really fun. Don't ever take /v/ crybabbies seriously
>>334408748
People are saying it right now in reference to Doom 2016 being "not that fast"
>>334408708
Yeah because most versions don't even have vertical look.
That is not an argument in your favor.
>>334408708
that has nothing to do with what he said aside from some words you both used.
>>334403213
It's fairly enjoyable, though it seems shallow. It plays decent but it's not Doom.
>>334408496
SP and MP components are being developed by different people.
>>334408882
>That is not an argument in your favor.
It is, Doom is always been dumb fun shooter unless you are a try hard speedruinng or want every shooter to be quake.
Competitive shiters are the worst thing ever.
why do the weapons feel so weak. im not talking about damage either, for example shooting the shotgun just feels like im pulling a party popper
>>334408161
I wish quake had more players, i either get spawnraped 0:22 against someone who's playing it for 15 years or i win 22:-1 against some braindead noob who rushes me with MG.
Some dude actually told me he's happy to see noobs like me in the game, after he raped me in a duel. I think this game is great because it teaches you not to rage over losses, since it happens even to pro players.
>>334408861
It's free for now, so I'll simply try it.
>>334409190
Well I mean you're trying to argue that an ancient game with no vertical look is an example of how gamepads play shooters fine.
Honest question, why does every shooter has to be muh skills, muh strafe jump, muh hardcurr xD to be good, why we can't have simple dumb fun shooters anymore? If people want to play professionaly they should go tryharding hours at CSGO or join Quake Live tournaments,
I realy think the armors look lame as hell.
I want every armor to be busted open and broken, as if your character went to hell and back . All i get is the option to make it a bit damaged and put dirt on it.
Eveyone looks way too clean for a doom game.
>Loadouts
>Perks
>No rocket jumping
>Half the weapons are total shit and not worth using
>Floaty and slow movement
It's literally just people running around with super shotguns and vortex rifles as there is no other weapon worth using except the rocket launcher if you feel like gimping yourself.
>People complaining about screen clutter
Never played a classic arena shooter before, have you?
>>334408291
you are the retard
enjoy the crap bethesda is selling you afterwords why dont you lap up all the cum like a good cuck. its a pile of shit and should be like it was
>>334407087
>>334407378
OP is right
>>334409382
>No rocket jumping
You can't rocket jump in Doom, retard. Firing a rocket at point blank range would just fucking kill you.
>>334409382
At least 2 of those things are in original doom as well.
>>334409406
What mod?
>>334409053
Lets hope that team has actualy played other doom games instead of halo and cod
>>334409530
No clue of the gameplay mod, but it's a "slimmed down" version of Quake 3's HUD. Stock Quake 3 is even more intrusive than that.
>>334409408
>muh bethesda boogeyman
Fuck off, hivemind parroting scumbag, your virtual friends don't care if you kill yourself.
>>334409382
>WHY IS NOT LIKE QUAKE 3 WAAHHHHH
>>334403213
I think its fine. It is a pretty solid and fun Halo clone.
But no, it is not an arena shooter. I am not angry about it like most people here, but there is not denying it
Posting more screenshots of classic arena game HUD that is completely unobtrusive and doesn't get in the way at all.
>>334409497
>"People are just complaining because it isn't like the original"
>"You couldn't do that in the original game!"
Yeah in a game where you couldn't jump you couldn't rocket jump no fucking shit sperglord but considering that this isn't 1994 anymore and a certain arena shooter developed by the same company had a rocket jumping mechanic you'd think they return the feature in this game. Dipshit.
>>334409749
Arena shooters are dead.
>>334409749
>Halo clone.
>I've never played Halo
Yeah, love that regenerating health.
>>334409798
The idea of the fucking project is to be as faithful to Doom as possible. Turning it into Quake would not be faithful to Doom.
>>334409406
Anyone worth a shit disabled their HUD and viewmodels anyway
>>334403420
>call of doom took all the best parts of shooters today
>>334403213
When I get to play the single player I will have an opinion about this game.
I have no nostalgia,the game is something most have already played before with the DOOM name on it..
>>334409973
>Call of doom
>Most weapons aren't even hitscan
Fuckin /v/ sucks for real talk, all they can do is spam meme shit.
>>334409903
If they wanted to be as faithful as possible you wouldn't be able to jump at all, wouldn't have loadouts, perks or universal ammo pickups. Which is it? Either they want to remake Doom or do something new.
>>334410105
You mean to tell me that having loadouts now instead of running to get guns and having to know timers and the perk system doesn't make it call of doom? My bad, faggot.
>>334409542
It's literally being done by ID
They've probably played the old games.
>>334403213
The problem is the combat feels like it is constantly stuttering. It doesn't have weapons laying around like a true arena shooter, you choose a loadout. Weapons are drastically weaker. You see Borderlands-style numbers when you shoot things instead of gore. The graphics are ugly -- not that they aren't competent, the art style is just ugly. It feels wrong in every way. It's worse than any other arena shooter, I just don't understand why anyone would like it.
>>334410115
It's just Doom inspired shooter with some modern elements added to it, making it like quake just means truning it into the kind of arena shooter that is doomed to fail and lack players.
>>334409382
>No rocket jumping
Bullshit,that was one of the first things I did in game for D$$M
>>334410259
Most arena FPSes have loadouts for league play.
>>334409903
> Yeah, love that regenerating health.
There is more to Halo than regenerating health. Movement is floaty like halo, weapon damage is similar too, the nades work very similarly too.
> The idea of the fucking project is to be as faithful to Doom as possible.
Who said that?
>>334410259
>Only CoD has loadouts!
Spotted the sperg who barely plays games and does nothing but shipost all day, kill yourself at your nearest suicide cabin ASAP.
>>334407760
Whoa, you mean people want games in a series to play like the other games in that series???
There's literally nothing wrong with trying to make games in different or new directions, just don't take an already established IP and rape it.
>>334407965
So people aren't allowed to have certain standards if they don't regularly play the games they're comparing new ones to?
>>334410334
Considering that it's being completely panned by the vast majority of people who are playing it it's going to lack players regardless. They've tried to appeal to everybody and ended up satisfying no one. Original Doom fans don't like it because it plays like a modern console FPS and CoD and Halo fans have little interest in a game like this and it will never draw the same numbers as those games. If they had actually made it decent it would have attracted a larger playerbase.
>>334410689
The single player isn't playable yet though.
There is more to Doom 4 than multiplayer. You can create mapsets in game.
>>334410259
Two most popular modes in quake are Clan Arena and Duel.
Clan Arena gives you ALL weapons from the get go and full health and armor.
>>334410115
>wouldn't have loadouts, perks or universal ammo pickups
Good. Trash them.
>devs make copypasted quake/UT clone with improved graphics

>HURR its shit! all i just wanted a new quake/Unreal with improved graphics!
And this... is why we can't have nice things.
Really though. Why beg for a new Doom game when everyone bitches about everything new to the table. Not that there is nothing to complain about (the plasma rifle is shit), but the amount of negative reviews on steam complaining about how "itz2slow" are insane
>>334410467
Please show me where I said only CoD has loadouts.
>>334410760
>Snapmap
>Worth anything
It's shit. Fixed geometry, no outdoors, fixed geometry, and most importantly, severely limited because your palette is limited. And don't give me restriction breeds innovation. Fuck that shit. If regular doom can get a 3D sonic mod that is better than regular 3D sonic, you don't then say yes to being able to sort of make sonic if you squint through glasses covered with so much shit they've collapsed under their own gravity into diamonds.
>>334410974
Its free to complain. I bet my ass the release version will have good reviews as long as sp is good
>not just playing the free UT4
Even in pre-alpha is lays a steamy log all over DOOM
>>334409798
>>334409497
The original Doom DID IN FACT HAVE ROCKET JUMPING. In fact, the intended way to reach the secret exit of Mt Erebus in the original game is to rocket jump off of a wall.

I simply dislike posers, that's all.
>>334410935
What? New UT is not even done yet.
All I care back that time of doom and duke nukem was the maze levels filled with secrets passages and easter eggs.
>>334411201
They are different games, really shooters fans have it great these days, UT players got their UE4 free arena shooter, Quake fans got reflex and people who wants some dumb fun can play new Doom, problem is, no one plays the games.
>>334410417
and the league players dislike them, you've seen Quake live crowd go nuts over loadouts?
>>334411431
Well I stand corrected then, all the more reason why it should have been in this game.
>>334407710
Read, nigger. **Double jump**, obviously a jump can't immediately change directions, but if you have a mechanism allowing you to jump again, you should be able to lauch yourself in a different direction.
>>334410303
All the original members of iD are gone. Where the fuck have you been?
>>334411073
Has it been confirmed there's not going to be mod compatibility?
>>334411431
I saw a rocket, didnt see no jump.
>>334411491
> New UT is not even done yet.
Is perfectly playable as it is right now, the pre alpha is there with completed maps, mechanics and weapons, all it needs is players.
>>334411201
Yeah why you're not playing it, like, right now? The game is more dead that quake live and you are busy complaining about ID shooter on 4chan.
Doom 4 threads are absolutely cancer. This is the best FPS to have come out in years and everyone's bitching about why it isn't Quake. You know what? I'm a Quake player and I don't want every game to be Quake. I want this game to be fun, and so far it is.
>>334411643
Jumping in the original Doom was done via running or sprinting off of ledges. Doom II and especially Final Doom had sections that required you jump.
>Dedicated Servers: Offline
What the fuck
>>334409751
but quake 3 was released before the push for more immersion and removal of HUD elements
lately im seeing a new trend to smatter the entire screen in useless hud, probably to make it seem like your game is more complex than it really is
>>334411753
That's not jumping you fucking idiot, jumping doesnt equal controlled falling. Jumping is when you press a button and your character goes up.
>>334411617
>>334411649
No, all it needs is an actual release and market.
You can count in the finger how many people know there is a new UT going on.
>>334411649
It's missing the Ripper and loaded with placeholder content though. It also isn't optimized very well, especially on AMD hardware. I had to tweak the ini a shit ton to make it run right and I have a damn Vishera and a 3GB HD 7950 in my rig. The enforcer, minigun, and sniper rifle also feel much punier than they really are. They need to be actually feel like guns that do damage like the guns in UT99.
>>334403213
it's because they false advertised
they said it was going to be fast paced
it's not
>>334411930
I am sure when they are ready to release they will start marketing
Right know half the maps dont even have textures even if the gameplay is already good
>>334411923
> doom game
> no modding
>>334407760
So when a game was a smarter shooter before than dumb down it's called "going in a new direction" now?
New doesn't mean better when it does to underlying principles and systems of what makes the game, the game it is and if people cant see the older system are what made the game successful in the first place then everything is for not.
>>334411996
This fucking image. So lit.
Most "gamers" just want an Arena shooter to feel good about themselves. Actually playing it is an entirely different story.
>>334407192
oh god I hope so they would actually learn something
>>334403213
>and it seems fine.
whats so good about it then faglord.
the first dooms are fucking several decades old
is it SO WRONG to ask a remake that would pander the nostalgiafags
>>334411930
Nah not really, Epic WANTS people to try the game, get involved and create content for it they marketed by including it with the Unreal Engine 4 toolkit and got announcements about it being made in major gaming sites, the first days we had over 500 players, then the numbers went down to 100 and finally to 30 player average, people doesn't give a shit about arena shooters anymore.
>>334403213

>>334412687
Unreal Tournament 2017 is almost as good as Unreal Tournament 99 and there's actually reasons to play both of them as they are both pretty different. The new UT takes most of what was UT99 and mixes them with a bunch of the elements from Unreal Championship 2 that the knew wouldn't clash with it and they actually found a good middle ground between the art direction of UT99 and UC2 to use in the game. The only thing I wish they would do to the new UT (besides finish developing it) is to bring back the ripper, and make the hit scan weapons feel heavier (rifle, enforcer, and minigun feel punier than they actually are, especially compared to what UT99 had).
>>334412785
Quake 3 and all of its clones and even UT are all about smart playing son.
Thats why there is nothing wrong with having just a dumb shooter like new Doom around.
>>334413019

Doom has that, called king of the hill.
Anything else that makes quake "smart" ?
>>334413261
Yes, and?
>>334413207
My analogy is great because both quake fags and nostalgia fags think not being so "fast xD" makes a game bad, also, fanboys are fuckin cancer, is like the band fanboys who cry when their bands want to try different stuff and it actually turns up to be good and even better than mediocre attemps to recreate the classic stuff.
Gamers are not dead, Gaming is, and gamers killed it.

>>334413107
>your favourite
You really don't understand. You think you're supposed to pick a favourite. No, that's modern "everyone's a winner" game design where all weapons are supposed to be equal. In an arena shooter there are weaker and stronger weapons and if you get spawned near a weak weapon you have to make due with that and work your way towards a better weapon.
>>334413167
It's really not. It's all about knowing where to go and what to do in certain situations. Thinking it's something you do when you start losing really hard and none of the pre-baked tactics work.
>>334403213
I thought it was fine too, but people who like arena shooters are a minority and that is to be expected
>>334413606

Also the fact maps are a lot more complex as well as aiming, you don't learn all about quake by try harding in public servers, son.

>>334413667
>fighting next to the strongest weapon is "intelligent gameplay"
>>334412347
I just don't understand it. Most people who are dissatisfied with d2016m want it to be quake. Okay, fair enough, they want a fast paced arena shooter. But then calling it shit because it's not like the original doom (by which most mean it's not quake 3) is ridiculous. It's fallout 3 all over again.

>think not being so "fast xD" makes a game bad
You're right. Nobody has said anything about the perks, things that give direct advantages over other players. Or about the shit movement ignoring the speed factor. Or about the map control (or lack thereof) as you no longer have to grab your weapons since you have loadouts. Or that the weapon damage is completely off. All anyone every complained about is that they can't go fast.
Your analogy is garbage and will always be garbage if it isn't similar to the situation you're comparing it to in the first place.
>>334413456
>Map control = king of the hill
Holyshit. Damn you stupid.
>>334413315
So? its just a guy who doesn't know jack shit about arena shooters, your typical try hard parroting shit.
>>334413782
>king of the hill
>controlling a portion of the map
>>334413853
>complex movement
>bunny hopping
You quake shills really are something else
>>334413776
Pointing out that you said something retarded is a meme? You clearly have no idea what map control means.
>>334409619
they shouldnt if i did i was weak like thos efaggots who claim they ahve depression or some shit
and why dont you fuck off white knight
>>334413884
Hmm maybe they promised too much and failed to deliver? they kinda said it would go back to roots and be fast
>>334413956
then enlighten me? If you can't come up with an argument I'm right.
>>334413969
again, no argument just more memes and attacks
>>334413667
There are no weak weapons in arena shooters besides your starting weapon, just weapons that are situationally useful.
DOOM is shit but you trying to act like you know fuck all about arena FPS is embarrassing, stop.
>>334413984
>map control
>controlling a portion of the map
Why are you hitting yourself???
>air strafing
>circle strafing
>not complex
Stop it, you're going to get bruises if you keep hitting yourself!
>>334414035
then what does map control mean friend? :^)
Because king of the hill sure seems to me like you're controlling a portion of the map. Seems like that's the definition of king of the hill? hmm?
From what I've played so far, the movement feels "laggy" and unresponsive at times and the weapons don't feel meaty like they should (the weak sound is a big part of this). I've tried to keep an even keel and be objective because I'm seeing a game before it's release, but honestly it doesn't feel satisfying.
Compare that with the original Doom, and it's about the same; janky movement and a hollow, "thin" feeling to the levels. Nu-Doom has at least improved on the original scenery, but the weapons have taken a hit, in that they don't feel as satisfying to use. Like the plasma gun or big shotgun in Doom 3. The sound mainly lets them down.
The movement is a bit weird, just not natural-feeling. It's an improvement from 1993.
Btw I am playing using a brand-new XB One controller so I don't know if that helps or not. The game certainly feels more like Halo DM than Doom, and it looks like it as well.
All in all, I'm still skeptical about this as it just comes across as generic as generic can be, there's no real flavor to the game.
It's salted tortilla chips; the game. Dip it in something and it might be decent.
>>334413731
That sounds like smart playing.
Also, you can best players with better aim and movement solely by playing smarter. Quake and UT arena shooters are about smart play, Doom simply isnt.
I'm enjoying it, but they need to stop dropping people into matches already in progress. That's bullshit.
>>334413875
>Strongest weapon
In a proper arena FPS, there is no best weapon. There are favorite weapons and there are weapons that are better suited for certain situations than others. For example, a rocket launcher is a viable choice whenever someone's at a medium distance and has a limited range of movement options available to them, however is complete shit when out in the open. A chaingun with hit scan is also a really good weapon to use to close in on a wounded enemy until you get close enough to completely finish them off with a lightning gun. Rail guns are good for fighting from afar, but the refire rate makes you extremely vulnerable so it's suicide to try to pull one out closer than medium ranges.
>>334414201
Imagine if you weren't playing king of the hill but still controlling a portion of the map. Maybe one with an important spawn that you want/don't want the other player to have.
Whoa.....so this is the power of critical thinking.....
Didn't read the thread, not going to, don't care about the multiplayer or how hardcore it is.
Are the guns fun to shoot? Just to clarify, to me, Metro 2033 and Wolfenstein have big, bulky guns that go rat-atatatatatat and shoot big bad guys with big fun noises. Animation is satisfying, like you just want to stand and shoot at a wall. Games like counterstrike have boring shooting.
So, does Doom have guns that are fun to shoot?
>>334413143
They aren't different at all stop lying. UT4 even reuses the same fucking maps as UT99 and the only think it does any differently is the control scheme ripped straight from UT2k4. Unreal is even slower even with it's "movement explotation mechanics" than Doom 4 so I don't know why it always gets mentioned in these threads
I just played it, and it reminded me too much of Halo 5 with less content and things to do. I doubt the full multiplayer will have as much content as the Halo games do, so I have no interest in the multiplayer. The guns feel like shit, and it seems all around too generic for me to really get into.
Probably not going to buy the game because of that. If they're offering Halo 5.5 on PC with multiplayer, then I'm not expecting much for the single player now. Hopefully it's dramatically different and offers some originality.
>>334414073
>defending dumb fun games makes me a white knight
At least you didn't call me a SJW.
>>334414364
again
>camping a spawn/item
>intelligent
That's some low standards
>>334414398
This is one of the few things I'll grant them - the guns are really nice. SSG sounds meaty.
>>334414492
It's almost as if you would shift the part of the map that you're controlling as time goes by since different things spawn at different times.
Nice backpedal though, faggot.
Game feels comfy on PC
only good guns are the sniper and shotty
>>334414670
>It's almost as if you would shift the part of the map that you're controlling as time goes by since different things spawn at different times.
People actually think this takes brain power and critical thinking. Maybe you should go do some brain puzzles or something, that's pathetic.
>>334414423
UT2k4 has almost nothing in common with UT4 actually.UT2k4 was floaty, had double jumping and the guns didn't really feel like guns. UT4 is more grounded and has A LOT more dodging techniques including the wall to wall climbing that was present in Unreal Championship 2. The weapons are also closer to being in between those of UT99 and UT3.
>>334414709
>>334414709
Taunt animations are important in Doom.
>>334414810
Damn son you must be super good at Quake if you think its this easy. Wanna duel?
>>334414764
I like the RL, i'm tired of most RL in arena shooters that feel like you are shooting balls of fire instead of actual slow moving devastating rockets.
>>334403213
It's just children. Petulant children that didn't get the exact christmas present they wanted.
>>334414867
It takes meta, and being able to click on pixels. So please stop embarrassing yourself and pretending it takes any semblance of intelligence
>>334414764
2 direct rockets kills a person pretty much, not sure why people call it weak.
LG is better than it's counterpart from qlive and is more like quake 3.
literally what
>>334414810
Nobody said that it took critical thinking. I just pointed out that you lacked a basic human skill that any six year old has. If you were unable to infer what map control meant when people were calling you a retard for thinking it meant KotH then you should beg your elementary/primary school to re-teach you.
It doesn't take much brain power to memorize the timers no, but it does start to become harder as you add in more and more item's timers as they are picked up throughout the match. That's on top of trying to outsmart your opponent and landing pre-fires. Obviously at high level play it isn't as difficult since everyone knows the timers and so you have a good idea of when an item will be grabbed.
>>334415113
Sounds like you're dodging to me. I'm sure you don't even understand the basic concepts behind duel theory.
I doubt you've ever actually dueled for more than a few hours, honestly.
>>334415198
>implying he's ever played the game at all
>>334408231
Looks nothing like DOOM, either. As such as I don't want the game. If this bothers you, I can give you my steam account and you are more than welcome to buy the game for me to get me to play. But I am not wasting 60 dollars on a blatrant AAA cash grab 5 hour long game with 3 day shelf life multiplayer.
>>334414810
it does take critical thinking though, which is specifically why it is often considered the most inaccessible gametype in any game. you have to time items, you have to control items, you need to know what the best path to get to the item is and when to even start going toward it. you need to know when the item spawns, you need to learn when an enemy picks it up and plan to take it over before the next spawn. saying duels take no skill is one of the most retarded things ive ever heard anyone say and if you genuinely think this, you straight up don't enjoy arena shooters and shouldn't have an opinion of them
>>334415058
even if they got exactly what they wanted, a doom 2 reskin, with everything but graphics and maps the same, they would still find ways to complain. "this isn't different enough to warrant a sequel!" or "why would i play this when the original game plays the same yet runs on my toaster?". concerning doom 4 id software did the right thing. i still remember how quake 4 was shit on for being too much like quake 3.
>>334403213
ehhh my bro just told me different.
just got back from work, about to find out for myself.
>>334414810
map control in 1v1 does take brain power and critical thinking. You've got several different resources placed at different areas in the maps with varying environments with different advantageous points for positioning, as well as an opponent who could go anywhere depending on the position of what items he wants, where you may be, etc. To play at even a decent level you have to use "game sense" and thinking to process these different factors in real time and make decisions on a constant basis, simultaneously with other actions that require mental and mechanical skill, at a fast pace.
>>334414764
>Doom
>Sniper
Okay I changed my mind, this game has no hope. I'm glad I didn't waste bandwidth on it.
>>334415408

News to me.
>>334415113

Just like i thought, typical public server shitter who has never played a single duel on his life.
You don't know about Arena shoters, you the typical average consumerist fan that talks a lot.
The only people mad are the PC master race.
Console peasants are happy because halo multiplayer was fun, and doom multiplayer is like halo, thus also fun.
Also, if you think DOOM is about the multiplayer, you're a plebian.
>>334415408
>quake 4 was shit on for being too much like quake 3.
HAHAHAH IF ONLY THAT WAS THE CASE
WHAT THE QUAKE COMMUNITY WOULDN'T FUCKING GIVE TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK IN TIME AND HAVE QUAKE 4 JUST BE A Q3A CLONE

>>334415545
you have a very strict definition of critical thinking. what do you consider critical thinking? being able to win every match your first game? call of duty must be the epitome of critical thinking
>>334415637
it was a quake 3 clone you fucking retard. people shit on it because it's singleplayer, WHICH QUAKE 3 DIDNT EVEN HAVE SO IM NOT COMPARING QUAKE 4 TO QUAKE 3 SINGLEPLAYER. quake 4 multiplayer was literally quake 3 multiplayer with an additional movement exploit, sliding
The throwable teleporter is fun as hell when you use the super shotty, and it's more or less a fast game, something I quite like. The demon mode seems kind of annoying since it's got 300 health and dual rocket launchers but it's pretty easy to deal with if you keep your distance.
That said the first server I joined was everyone at 300+ ping and the second and third games still lingered around ~150ms, and then my friend got bored and we stopped playing. And fuck that gauss gun to hell. I died around corners a few times which was annoying but all in all it's pretty fun for a free thing to do this weekend. But there's no chance in hell I'm actually going to buy this thing.
>>334413143
Why are people praising the new UT? As a hardcore UT player, I am quite skeptical. So far it looks like UT 99 with better graphics. They haven't even added vehicles...
>>334415764
>quake 4 multiplayer was literally quake 3 multiplayer with an additional movement exploit, sliding
If only.
>>334415764
Being able to invent on the spot, beyond meta and memorization.
>>334415794
gauss just needs to lose the stupid splash damage. make it a precision weapon that actually takes skill to use. if you encounter someone with gauss, dodging doesn't do shit
>>334415846
>>334415764
that's not to say the game doesn't take lots of coordination and quick reactions. I'm just saying it's not as cerebral as people like to say it is.
>>334415846
Whoa, it's almost as if you just described having good reflexes, but that can't be right since you dismissed that earlier.
>>334415764
Quake 4 was almost an identical game to Doom 3 and played nothing like Quake 3. Could you perhaps remind me why Doom 3 had such a mixed reception?
>>334415993
you're grasping at straws now, I never said that. In fact i explicitly stated otherwise >>334415975
>>334416095
>Quake 4 was almost an identical game to Doom 3
it was similar to doom 3, but Doom 3 mp was similar to Quake 3. Both Doom 3 and Quake 4 ran on the same engine, so strafejumping and rampjumping felt very similar.
>and played nothing like Quake 3
wrong
>>334403213
of course its seems fine for you, after all they did dumbed it down and cater to the lowest common denominator now.
>>334415638
Faggots like you can only talk for a little time before you get your coward ass handed to yourself, what else do you need to stop doging the argument and admit being a proffesional FPS player takes intellgence? Being able to predict your oponent tactis or location? Being able to be a smart teamplayer? Arena shooter got both of thsoe, you just the typical fedora sperg who probably thinks only chess requires smart and that box is just people mindlessly punching eachoter, fucking faggot.

>>334416095
Not the guy you're arguing with, but DOOM 3 was a good game.
I for one appreciated the emphasis on the hell aspect of the game. A lot of doom supplementary stuff like the books and movie call the enemies monsters from another dimension, and to see DOOM 3 actually take you to a pretty interesting hell was great.
For the record, I never played multiplayer and I don't like arena shooters so people sperging out about the new DOOM beta which I'm quite enjoying seems silly.
>>334416275
Dude just because they had the same guns doesn't mean they were the same fucking game lol. They were entirely different engines with pretty vastly different physics rulesets, not to mention I'm pretty sure nobody ported CPMA ...
>>334415842
what the fuck do you expect me to say? you aren't presenting an argument, you aren't telling me how quake 4 isn't like quake 3, you are just saying im wrong but how am i wrong?
>>334415846
in quake you might have a preferred playstyle, but it does not work 100 percent of the time. you need to learn how your enemy thinks, where you think he would be, what his strengths and weaknesses are and work against him. you can't coast the game doing the same thing every time, no two games are exactly alike and you need to develop a strategy to defeat your enemy
>>334416095
no it was not. doom 3 was disliked because doom has always been about singleplayer, which doom 3 singleplayer was nothing like the other doom games. doom 3 multiplayer was also nothing like the other doom games, instead being too similar to a slower, heavier feeling quake, with all the same movement exploits of quake. quake on the other hand has always been about multiplayer, even quake 1 with it's fantastic singleplayer was more popular for multiplayer. if quake 4 just didn't include a singleplayer campaign it would have been popular (for less work) and if you are unfamiliar with it's multiplayer i recommend you check it out though it's dead
>>334416370
Playing the game a lot and remembering where people tend to go through sheer time-in, is not intelligence. And you seem VERY upset now.
