I really wish FFA was the man 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 sued to playing Team games in just about every game released these days.

Agreed. I was disappointed in no FFA. I'm fine with team modes, but I feel like FFA should be the bread and butter of Doom.

You can have some real fun playing FFA with friends as on Quake 3 we used to get 4-5 of us in a lobby with some randoms also and have so much fun trying to beat each other it was great so FFA can also be great for groups which developers seem to of forgone these days and think groups should only focus on team games.

Team Deathmatch seems to miss the crazy fast pace and really needs to double the amount of players on each team to bring that back to the table.

Probably not I was refering to how we did things 15 years ago and how great they were :D The modern day take on shooters is always team v team and FFA will likely be solo sign up only.

Totalbiscuit refines the point for me that bit better than the last one I posted from LevelCap:



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.

After playing another hour or two at the end of the beta last night the game began to warm on me a little more and learning to get backing into the run,jump and gun style of gameplay is going to be fun. I still feel they need to increase team size to at least 8 to increase the pace of the game slightly.

Unfortunately I found out that FFA(Deathmatch) isn't even going to be shipping with the game at all so that has left a little bit of a sour taste :( Hopefully that should be there #1 priority after release.

Is that right?

Doom more or less invented deathmatch and now Doom 4 won't even offer it at launch?

I'm still excited for single player but, honestly, this mp feels like an afterthought. I get that people can make their own modes in snap map, but it would be great if Doom 4 shipped with something approximating what defines Doom in particular and arena shooters in general.

A friend told me that there wouldn't be a FFA mode at launch last night when I mentioned I can't wait to play FFA at launch. No mention of it over at bethesda.net just these 6 modes.

-Soul Harvest

-Freeze Tag

-Warpath

-Domination

-Team Deathmatch

-Clan Arena
