    Crappy quality for now since it just aired but it's looking very pretty!

    Quote from dux

    As mentioned, compartmentalised fights against 4-6 generic baddies with no character or interesting aspects about them - I thought that the original Doom baddies had a lot of character about them. Considering all you do in this game is shoot, making the things you shoot be interesting and fun should be kinda up there on the list. It certainly looks open with the large orange vistas but you're still pretty limited in where you can go by the looks of it - bar a climbing a mechanic and a little jump pack for extra lulz. Multiplayer and an Editor, big whoop. It's Doom, it should be expected, not a bonus. Anyway, I'm being grouchy because I'm of the opinion that a legitimately good Doom game can't be produced by a AAA company anymore. Nice framerate drops, too. Good job the ultimate PC classic gets demoed on a console.

    I'm not disagreeing with you. I was merely taking a piss. Having said that, I'm pleasantly surprised because I expected total shit. Sure, I can see enough things to point out besides your comments. Things like the death animations becoming repetitive already, primarily still claustrophobic environments, loot drops and so on. But on the other hand I see a ton of things they are doing right. Will it be a great game? I don't know. But for the first time in over a decade it feels like Id listened to the fans and are really trying to give them what they want. You say an editor and MP is expected but they failed to really deliver on those since 1999. So to me it feels like the game has a lot of heart and that is something I will always applaud, flawed or not.

  • Doom (4)

    You can see they painstakingly tried to address the most common complaints about the last Id games. It's bigger and more open compared to Doom 3, way faster, more brutal, it has MP and it comes with a freaking editor. Still people aren't happy. What a bunch of downers!

  • Doom (4)

    They went all out on Doom. They ticked all the boxes including MP and modding. I was so skeptic but I've a believer now. Holy shit, that was awesome.

    My only concern is it's not a fair contest, time is a factor - it will discourage people from starting from scratch if people can enter almost finished work?

    I understand your concern but that's up to the contestant really. Because this contest is designed to push people to make or finish potential Operation maps. Hence the exclusion of previously Operation featured mappers. If you, as mapper, don't have a map in progress and you seriously doubt you can commit the time to make a new one, then you need to draw your own conclusions. It's not that we're deaf to constructive criticism and this is certainly not aimed at you, but those that are, for lack of better word, complaining, would be much better off spending that time working on their maps.

    If everybody still thinks this entry is wrong, maybe We can leave and think alternatives. Let us know.

    The rules are clear. Your map is fair game. Good luck on polishing it.
