I've been in both the Alpha and closed Beta, enjoyed it both times. See a lot of bitching saying they "ruined DOOM" making it too casual. I personally think they put just the right amount of new in while keeping that old school arena shooter feel.

The only things about i wish were different are no health/armor pick and maybe eliminate load outs, make the weapons picks up on the map, at the very least the heavy weapons should be. Also they need to nerf the shotgun, which i'm sure they will, it's ridiculously OP. Otherwise i really like it.

So what if they had a classic type of gamemode where they don't have loadouts and it has weapon pickups?

I would LOVE that. In fact, I'd love that in pretty much every FPS on the market. I just don't like load-outs in general. And I'm not a fan of XP in FPS either.

My ideal FPS is something where everyone starts out each match on equal footing, and needs to rely on skill and items found in the map to emerge victorious.

But I'm definitely in the minority on that, based on where the industry is going.
