Whoever said this is the Fury Road of shooters was so so right! The title screen made me grin just like I did with Fury Road's first V8 roars.
Awesome game so far!

Yooo the third level was so good. This game is pretty much what I always wanted Halo to be like.
Never count a cliffhanger ending as confirmation of a sequel. Good luck waiting for The Order 1887.
Seems fairly likely, though.

Guys If I complete a chapter, I can go back and replay it right away just for a collectibles before I go to the next chapter right?
I just want to blind play in each chapter before I go back for a collectibles. :\

Yeah well, the order was shit. This at least is getting a good fanfare.
Well.. I was waiting for 1887, but it's never gonna happen
At least with Doom there are higher chances because of the overall very positive reception. Let's hope that it happens
Doom spoilers and lore via wiki
I never knew that the Icon of Sin
In the reboot, the main character is the Doom Slayer, a legendary warrior and sole surviving member of an order of knights known as the Night Sentinels who were tasked with battling Hell. In the past, the Doom Slayer and his brothers-in-arms were the protectors of a land known as Argent D'nur, until a member of the Sentinels betrayed them in return for the demons reviving his dead son, who was brought back as the Icon of Sin, the final boss of Doom 2. Filled with rage, the Doom Slayer nearly tore all of Hell down, wearing a suit of enchanted power armor gifted to him by a demon who betrayed his kind. Eventually, the Doom Slayer was sealed away in an enchanted sarcophagus by the terrified remainder of Hell's inhabitants until he was rescued by UAC Mars Director Samuel Hayden, who kept him sealed in his private labs while they reverse-engineered his equipment.
The Doom Slayer, despite being the most brutal of the Doom protagonists by far, is also shown to be the most traditionally heroic; he is distrustful of Hayden due to his "ends justifying the means" philosophy and goes out of his way to show compassion to the sentient AI VEGA, copying him to a personal drive before destroying his main body. He also seeks to protect humanity from Hell at all costs, even destroying the very energy source which has ended Earth's energy crisis due to it being only obtainable via a portal to Argent D'nur, which is a realm in Hell overrun with demons.

So, first time i discovered cheater in this game. He was killing everyone with single plasma rifle shoot through walls, and teleported in every direction. Is there any way to report this guy? I still think that MP is fun, but there is no way i'm paying for season pass, because there will be much more cheaters after few huge sales. Does this game have any anticheat? I'm playing on PC
the threads left could support a full sequel (set on Earth) but also could be tied up with a 3 hour expansion. I'm hoping for the former.

The most straightforward solution would be to give the players some freakin agency in how to handle the multiplayer. Set up their own servers with admins who can enforce rules. But hey, this is 2016 and we've apparently moved past such archaic notions.

Maybe this has been answered, but could not find anything through search: Is the original Doom included with the game? I've been wanting to play through it again recently.

Looks great! But here you go, a more square sized one - made it just for you if you wanna use it

Different proportions?
EDIT Looks like square avatar looks a bit better. Thanks.
One very annoying thing, if you play a Rune challenge you missed while replaying a level it'll boot you out of the stage and you'll lose any progress you made.
Hell is where this game really starts to throw a ton at you. You need to get the hang of constant movement and knowing what weapons to use in order to survive. That level is tough but once the combat in it clicks, it'll serve you well for the rest of the game and the gameplay gets far more intense and enjoyable.

so considering how well id tech 6 looks/runs here, do you think we'll see it being used elsewhere?
Yeah it's great. You can tell the developer is saying, "Ok, you have the weapons, you know the fundamentals, now it's time for us to take the training wheels off." It's going to take me a little while to adjust, but it's such a thrilling gameplay experience. It's nice to play an FPS for once that has the same kind of challenge as a game like Dark Souls.
I really, really hope we see it in the sequel to Wolfenstein TNO.

The Gauss is so damn OP its crazy
Nailing a headshot with a fully charged Gauss on a jumping Hell Knight feels so good.

Best game I've played in ten years. Everything (in the single-player, at least) is so expertly crafted. Sound design, enemy design, level design, enemy AI, movement, everything. It's so frantic and varied and fun, the way it encourages you to keep diving into the action (for that is the only way to recover health in many cases) and to keep moving, to switch up strategies for all the different enemy types, the way that ammo is just limited enough to make you switch to different guns (but never get stuck using the pistol).
I agree with whoever said it: This is the Mad Max Fury Road of video games. Simple on the surface, but with layer after layer of loving attention to detail. Every weapon is satisfying to use, every enemy is satisfying to kill, everything is beautiful to look at. I can't recommend this enough if you have ever enjoyed a shooting game ever in your life. It corrects everything shooters have been doing wrong lately.

Doesn't allow for mods nor does it have good multiplayer. (Also too short, and the story could be improved while reducing its intrusion to gameplay.)
But it is overall so much better than anything else from the past few years...

Man, this JUST happen to me, but I was aiming for somebody else and jumped up into it. Shit was great
Awesome game, just pure fun. Actually starts off slower than I expected but by the time you reach the first
level and you have all the weapons and the game is chucking all the monsters at you at once it's gets brilliantly frantic. Love it.
Also, did anyone else find this nice little easter egg (probably, but I haven't read the whole thread)

Also, did anyone else find this nice little easter egg (probably, but I haven't read the whole thread)
in hell when you first meet a Baron of hell, the small cave where you find the lever to open the entrance to the classic Doom section....there is a corpse with a skyrim helmet on and an arrow in its knee
It has a super generous hitbox too. I've definitely whiffed a shot that blew up a demon nearby anyway, lol.
That and the one gatling gun upgrade that lets you transform it along with the rune that gives infininte ammo over a certain armor threshold are amazing.
Oh God, I hope not. It'd take ages. I finished up the campaign the other day, and was at the last arena in the game. You exit a cave-like area and drop down, but I saw a few Hell Knights out in the distance. To save ammo, I started snipping one with the pistol...kept getting fully charged headshots over and over. I was shooting for so long that I eventually said "fuck it", and dropped into the arena and fought them normally.
It is mentioned in the environment descriptions of The Necropolis. Its said that
its a sleep waiting for a specific time to wake up.

I still don't think it's really great, but I'm starting to come around on the multiplayer. I don't care for the loadouts or progression system, and I wish it was more of a true arena multiplayer game, but the more I play the more fun I have.

The
Icon of Sin isn't just referenced, it actually shows up later in the second hell level.
The first Titan fall was meh. What makes you think the new one can touch the greatness that is the new Doom?

The sort of djent metal/electro music chosen for this game is just perfect for it. If you can i would definitely play this with a good set of headphones.
