Also, they're not going to use this to charge for map pieces. Doing so would totally fragment the user base into who owned what bits and who could play what, and they're not that dumb. There's already a big enough problem with DLC map packs splitting players into 'bought it' and 'didn't' let alone DLCing one room at a time. 
 
$3.69 unlocks the "teabag" animation apparently. I think it's a steal at that price. 
It's Kind Of Funny 
The first iteration of Doom4 felt like a typical COD clone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io23oqGJ5ik) that would get an once of popularity because of the name before being drowned by the military FPS flood that's still going on today, and would inevitably piss off Doom fans.

And now we have ex-Bungie devs that makes Halo in Hell and it would get an once of popularity before fading off. The situation is similar. And I really doubt Doom4 will have the same ever-lasting appeal of Super Mario Maker: the gameplay feels weak, SnapMap feels very limited and we already talked about the possibility of DLC assets Zenimax will surely try to use to gather more interest in the game but will ultimately fail because not only will it create a gap between those who can buy them and those who can't, but also because the game seems shallow to begin with, and it will take more than patches to fix it. 
 
if they charged for map pieces, they could still let everyone play the maps you create (the charge could be just to use it in your own maps.)

Just like i don't need to pay $5 to see somebody else walk around in horse armor. 
Well Yeah 
In fact that's how they sell this stuff.

- Person A sees person B with cool shit
- Person A wants cool shit too and opens wallet 
 
Super Mario Maker seems to have the right level of granularity tho. You don't need to go any deeper than that. 
I Wonder What A SnapQuake Would Be Like 
� No light entities, only surface lights and sunlight.
� No VIS.
� No carving, no vertex manipulation.
� Only prefabs and box-shaped brushes.
� No texture scaling.
� No advanced entity field editing.
� No arbitrary editing of entity parameters; only sliders, lists and checkboxes.
� Grid size fixed at 16 units.
� Entity and prefab rotation around the Y axis only. 
 
Search for Deathmatch Maker ...

Deathmatch Maker

The flashbacks. Aaaaaaaagh.

"A binary grid is obviously too unintuitive - better make it a decimal grid". 
New Screenshots 
 
Sure looks like it has hallways and whatnot. 
Holy Shit 
Rooms and corridors confirmed. 
 
I have to admit, it does look a bit better than Doom 3. 
I Thought The Pistol Wouldn't Make It? 
Lost Soul looks rad too 
 
those cacademons look like miniature figurines covered in jizz, totally artificial 
 
the extreme DOF is probably why they look miniature. 
 
Decent beastie design going on there, proper ugly mugs.
But those fucking white/aluminium washed corridors and other base/tech parts give me horrible D3 flashbacks with the eternal fat cable lying around going to a fucking generator or what not, ARGH! "ooooh look we can do smooth cables since D3, lets have them everywhere again!" piss off piss off piss off piss off! :P 
That Looks Pretty Much Like D3 To Me 
 
 
Artistically speaking, cables running through a hard surface environment like that add an organic element that works really well. Unfortunately, it CAN be overdone if you go back to that well too many times. :) 
 
Some of those shots are really nice .. the concept art looks hot. I love the clean look of the sci-fi against the hellscape stuff ... 
 
My only problem with the art is still the white heads for the hellknights / imps because it just makes me think of goofy 1970s motorcycle cops or something. 
 
Shots 1, 3, 5: Pretty promising looking, even if there is far too much specularity going on (as was the case in D3 as well).

Others: I'm with nitin on this one, is this Doom 4, or Doom 3 HD? Those bald heads were awful in 2004 and they remain awful in 2016. The models, the textures, the meshes etc. all look like D3 assets tarted up, down to the shapes of the walls. 
At The Very Least 
I now have a decent-ish reference picture for an idea I wanted to do in a Q1SP.
