OK I litteraly scoffed my coffee out my nose at "unoutchable" at 0:42
I initially skimmed over this post because, well Killes post, pinch of salt and all that - but now I've watched the video...seriously that particular bit of VO is so far off the mark it's absolutely astonishing. Would loved to have been a fly on the wall in that recording session. "That's super darling, but can we dial up the lazy indifference and make it even more camp?" They should make a classic Doom deathmatch release with Romero shouting profanities as the voiceover. And the sounds of keyboards being smashed.
more like mutators for DM than multiplayer game modes, so we can still expect to see real game modes, or maybe they just went for the most popular mode and left the rest in case they have money/time
i looked at it again and better. Yep, there are real game modes there too.
I suppose that with how much they mentioned that Doom 4 is a fast paced game they wanted to avoid one of the slowest paced game modes, also to avoid being seen as something related to CS and CoD like games. CTF slow ???
Get on a Doom CTF server promto and tell me about it. It is just about the very fastest FPS experience around and ever made. Especially the smaller maps but even the bigger maps when well populated. 0 respawn delay, within 1-2 seconds of respawning you are right in the thick of it again (defense in your base) then you survive that your on your way blasting your way through flesh to the other teams base and flag. Its a constant tug of war made of frags'a'second, every second of the game. Flag picked up dropped picked up dozens of times in a minute, being passed on fragging to teammate or returned, regrabbed, on and on... It is pure constant non stop all game long blitz fast fucking action. It doesn't let up at any moment and is by far my favorite game of any kind ever. Best adrenaline rush on screen ever devised. I can only guess that prods trying to make it as easy as possible and CTF rules is harder to explain, than "click 'em till they die!".
Most of shown gametypes are basically FFA with some twists. Even in team modes you can play Rambo style, completely ignoring your mates and still win. While in CTF it is still possible, but more complicated. Even newbies can spawn at mid and steal your flag again right after you killed enemy flag carrier at his base. Technically it can go forever like this. TLDR: CTF is hard and requires too much team coordination. Because of the flag's only way to go back to the base once dropped is via a slow timer, which makes the mode go on slooooow, and defending a dropped flag is too tense and annoying to be fun.
e.g CTF is only slow when you play in a CTF mode with that mechanic .. will start:

https://youtu.be/ZQj2jfw7ODM So is this where they think the money is? The seem obsessed purely with the MP in the marketing so far. The HELL level demo way back when is one of the few things that maintain my excitement. Probably won't grab it on release day considering there will be day 1 patches abound...bleh.
I thought the multiplayer trailer made it look pretty fun, but seeing real gameplay with a mouse and keyboard makes a better impression.
Until recently, it was my assumption the beta would be singleplayer :/ God fucking damn turn the movement blur off!!!
Do people really play like that ? Why not wipe some fresh shit on your screen before playing too. What an idea for a twitchy game...fukken noob. Otherwise I agree looking more interesting with mouse+kb is that ctf with all the red and blue arrows? Unbelievable.
Also, looks faster than I thought but everything else including design doesnt look that promising IMHO.
