Things I like;
Movements
60fps
Blood effects
Core gameplay and gunplay is sweet.

However, there is a lot here to invite criticism. Some of the following are plain awful, others not so much
Announcer
Emotes
Melee/ assassinations
Armour and colours
No weapon pickups.
Limited / lack of power pickups.
Hacking, probably the most pointless addition to the game.

Will pick this up, probably in in fall. MP for this isn' t something I am feeing.

I feel this hits the nail on the head for me

 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Also I just played a 10th match where the super shotgun both elft and right click did nothing different up close and yet most of the time despite having my sights right on their face, doesn't stop an enemy from instantly killing me with a melee attack, in fact most of the time I'm seeing people opting straight up for melee kills and the distance betwen you and the one trying to hit you is insanely stupid, the gameplay feels pretty disconnecting and shallow.

The other thing I noticed is that other weapons hardly need to reload while you are punished with a quite slow reload animation with the super shotgun despite it's weak damage up close, seen players as well as myself outclassed by a few rocket or pulse rifle shots with a well timed melee strike. The lightning gun seems absolutely pointless compared to the other weapons, none of what I;m playing really feels like an arena shooter let alone DOOM, I feel like I'm playing COD with a DOOM skin.

While i do like to play an arena based shooter again its obviously heavily influenced by call of duty, why the hell they put a summon in there? I dont like this BS in shooters where people with killstrikes get even more ahead by summon some crap .
And the shotgun is way underpowered even if you shoot some one close like 1 meter away he/she still doesnt die. The Beta reminded me why i dont play first person shooters anymore, online.

The summon isn't a killstreak it's a pickup so..

I'm okay with it but I do hope they make a classic playlist/mode



I really wish FFA was the main game mode for the beta I feel team deathmatch really isn't right for DOOM. No doubt that at launch FFA playlist will hardly be populated due to everyone been used to playing Team games in just about every game released these days.
