HOPE RIDES AGAIN
>Certain Affinity are no longer working on the game. Id have taken over development, and the multiplayer DLC is their work.
>Private and custom matches will be coming in a free patch this summer.
>Certain developer features from the Alpha, like a match browser, are also coming once they've been given a bit more polish.
>Bots are coming to MP and Snapmap in the future - Id's "bot guy" is the lead coder on Snapmap, so he's kind of busy...
> More multi-centric features for Snapmap, whatever that means.

Great, hope to hear about better playlists, better matchmaking, and a skill rating system
Weapons pick ups and bigger arsenals when?
>We want Snapmap to be more multiplayer-oriented
At least it might reduce the number of stupid gimmick maps.
Still needs a single-player addition though.

fuck the multi, give sequel

Just make the multiplayer like Quake and they'll have happy neckbears

This.
Multiplayer was dead on arrival. Loadouts should not have existed and niether should the 2 weapon limit. Lots of the more boring guns, only 1-2 of the powerful weapons. When you kill someone they should drop all thier weapons.
Also not having a free for all mode is a travesty.

This to, should have been 2 snap maps, multiplayer and singleplayer missions. We probably could have had higher demon counts if it didn't have to be compatible with 4 players.
I must have played at least 30 team deathmatch matches today because all the other modes have no fucking players. I wonder if these fixes can even save the MP at this point. At least the chaingun will finally be nerfed or hopefully removed altogether. Completely unnecessary weapon considering that the LG, HAR, BR exists as tracking weapons. Can't believe such a broken weapon made it past testing.

The real problem is that the game isn't moddable. People would have fixed the shit multiplayer on DAY ONE.
Come to think of it, certain affinity is probably the reason why the MP has the two weapon limit, I seriously doubt it was id's idea. Maybe they'll finally remove that piece of shit limit

They definitely were, because certain affinity's team isn't composed of professionals. They're composed of people with their heads so far up their asses that they think the best way to market Doom would be to show it's shittiest parts.
having a proper match browser is a start but unfortunalty the multiplayer is fucked on a fundamental level and i don't think they should really be wasting their time on it
