So, any thoughts?
It's not for me, I didn't feel like the guns had any heft, kick or feel to them. Movement felt slidey and lightweight. Move like a game from the 90's wearing modern clothes.
It also seems to have been CODified with perks and loadouts and levels not the pure level playing field of getting to that rocket launcher/shotgun first.
I got bored in about 15 minutes.

This is my issue with most FPS games nowadays. In a decent game you fire a sniper rifle (in something like Counter Strike 1.6, source or Global Offensive) and you KNOW you have fired a sniper rifle. The boom resonates round the entire level and the sound is still ringing in your ears.It's not for me, I didn't feel like the guns had any heft, kick or feel to them.....I got bored in about 15 minutes.
Head to some modern game like Destiny and it feels like you are firing a sewing machine that fires out ping pong balls... Total crap.
Shame this doesn't seem as important anymore..

Feels very like destiny or halo. Very superficial and lacking in any doom atmosphere at all.
Is the full game just multiplayer or is there a traditional single player doom campaign in there somewhere?
Yup this is 'Quake'y. Not impressed. Where's the single player? Where's the synthetic guitar music and double barrelled shotgun? Monsters? Nah. This fails.Is the full game just multiplayer or is there a traditional single player doom campaign in there somewhere?
Doom looks and feels like this

Played it once and then uninstalled it. Bland gfx and boring game play. Shame, the single player vids floating around looked great.
Agreed. Couldn't find any reason to get attached to it, even though I really wanted to. Just a smooth running high speed yawn fest.No weapon I fired actually felt like I was firing it whatsoever.

They've made an arena shooter that is too slow, because if they made if properly fast how it should be it would be unplayable on console.
They've also stripped down the skill ceiling, no rocket jumping, no strafe jumping, barely any air control.
They've introduced demon mode where you become a massively OP demon that can kill everything way too easily.
They've gave it "load outs". WTF. Also you can't pick up weapons in the game and it has XP to unlock stuff.
Great. Doom has become CoD with gore.
A game that exactly no one wanted.

I know it is Quake but I think this seems to be the way of modern shooters. What was wrong with a good old slogging.

I have been looking forward to this for ages, and after playing the open beta I am very disappointed.
As has already been said, WTF are load outs doing in the game? The sounds are woeful, with absolutely no satisfaction from firing the weapons. The game play is just not Doom as there are not weapon pickups. The control felt odd and I found the level design uninspired.
The only saving grace is that I've read that the single player element (the part was most excited about) was developed by a separate team, so hopefully that will be great...
