Both maps in the beta were small, but perfect for combat. I played primarily with a Lighting Rifle and Rocket Launcher combination. This was perfect for me, but many played with shotguns. I felt that all the available weapons in this build were all-powerful in their own right. Players during deathmatch compete, grabbing power weapons, and even control of a demon. This big powerful creature can move fast around the level with punishing rockets. Still it is possible to ambush the demon. The rival team has a fighting chance.
This game never feels too complex. Still, The important factor is that it’s just plain fun. The classic gameplay of old was captured with a fresh coat of paint. It feels like an Unreal Tournament title also. Super fast-paced arena combat. With this form of multiplayer, and a traditional campaign as well, Doom could surprise in 2016. Were you able to play the open beta?

I wasn’t interested in this beta at all. When I think of Doom I think of a fun, fast paced, single player campaign that I can sink some hours into.
I was also slightly disappointed that they didn’t take the New Order’s route and go with old school with a mix of new school. I don’t think I’ll enjoy this game as much as I did the Wolfenstein reboot, but I’m still sort of excited to get a chance to play Doom.
I’ll probably never touch the multiplayer.

My thoughts are this. I think they are trying to go in a good direction, however, I also think the loadouts and starting with more than one gun takes away from that old school hardcore flavor. I mean starting with a rocket launcher? I am holding reservations until I play the campaign portion of the game.
The action of the multiplayer is cool and I think customizing your weapons is cool but I don’t like loadouts in my Doom/Quake Games. I would like to see an Old School option for multiplayer so that both hardcore old school players and newer players have options.

Didn’t bother with it because I expected to be disappointed. But after all the fairly positive impressions I’ve read, I rather regret skipping it.
