Why should Doom multiplayer be an arena shooter when the player base for them is so low with other arena shooter?
Why is the multiplayer even getting so much attention, it's clearly one of those tacked on things because every game needs to have multiplayer now

The new Wolfenstein did plenty well without a tacked on multiplayer.

>Why is the multiplayer even getting so much attention
Probably cause everyone assumed ' BURR HURR NEW ARENA SHOOTER"
> it's clearly one of those tacked on things because every game needs to have multiplayer now
I personally think Doom is the exception cause its the type of game that works well with multiplayer if done right.
>>334589865
Yeah, because Bethesda didn't poke their noses in it.

>clearly one of those tacked on things
Speculation. They could very well be putting most of their eggs in the multiplayer basket and leave a very lackluster singleplayer

Given how fucking loud arena shooterfags are, you'd expect them to do the marketing moreso than the devs themselves, and yet there's barely 200 of them still alive today.
It's a bad shooter. Full stop.
They didn't even capture the Doom atmosphere. It looks like a generic space shooter.

For sure.

TNO was a modern shooter through and through, very disappointing after it seems like everybody gave it glowing reviews or even praised it as "oldschool" or "fps returning to it's roots" all lies.
Reflex shooters have always been an autistic subset of the FPS community. The tourneyfags of their time. No one has ever liked them, not even their peers in the arena shooter community. It's sad really, that people base their life's worth on how twitchy they can be.

Goddamn it man

It's almost as if people like to parrot opinions in some vain attempt to sound more knowledgeable or something.

id wont make any good game again if the engine and physics arent curated by Carmack

That's because DOOM has always been a generic space shooter with demons tacked on.
Before you even respond, I know you've never read Starship Troopers, but you at least have to know the effect that it had on the game's industry.
They should not have added multiplayer, they should've done like Wolfenstein TNO and just focused on the campaign.
Most of the complaints are that it's not Doom, after it was billed as a return to form. It's like the developers played every other FPS looking for ideas to copy and forgot to play Doom itself.
>>334593060
You should really play The New Order, it's pretty good
>>334593869
Bullfuckingshit. Even if the multiplayer is shallow as dog piss it's still one of the main things I'm interested in when I look at this.
>>334589948
You retarded?
>>334594645
He's implying Bethesda position as publisher negatively effected the way doom was made. What's wrong?

Didn't Bethesda publish TNO?
