There's going to be free DLC for Doom 4 as well though. I commented on the article here about that, since it made no mention of the free DLC despite the direct source talking about it some. 

 

Not trying to overly defend the game yet, as the open beta will be my first chance. It just seemed standoutish to me and the last game from id tech I played, Rage, I really enjoyed despite the short length. This has around the same story length, but with way better looking multiplayer. 

I'm glad it's getting some free DLC. But, I really dislike paid DLC in MP games. With MP season passes usually priced at $45-50, you have to almost pay for the game twice to experience everything. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just maps in the paid DLC packs, but id has new weapons and demons in them as well. If id allows people with those new weapons and demons to play against people who didn't buy the DLC, it will completely wreck the balance of the game.  Not only that, but paid DLC splits the playerbase in a MP game, which hurts the longevity of the MP mode.

I think paid DLC needs to die in MP shooters. Fortunately it's starting to now, Titanfall DLC was made free after it released and I hear rumors that Titanfall 2 DLC will be free from the get go, Overwatch DLC is free, Halo 5 DLC is free, Garden Warfare 2 DLC is free.

I enjoyed Rage also btw, I really hope id makes Rage 2 next once they're done with Doom 4. That cliffhanger ending in Rage was so annoying, I want to see what happens next id!

Rage just kind of ended. I remember being near the end without knowing it, beat some boss and then that was just.... Kind of... It. Haha. It was over. It sold decently I think, wonder why they've sat on the Ip for so long when it was a new franchise to begin with.
