You know what, i like these games modes. I just can’t bring myself to hate this game even though they let me down. :X
NOBODY CARES ABOUT HALO WITH BLOOD BETHESDA, SHOW SOME SINGLEPLAYER YOU MORONS. THIS IS NOT WHAT DOOM IS ABOUT.
the reason doom became so popular was because of its mp. It pioneered “deathmatch”, the map making scene, “frags”, you name it.
Doom and mainly its mp, is ground zero for 99% of everything we having in gaming today.
Doom MP is what started it all.
“the reason doom became so popular was because of its mp. ”
NOPE it was the keys, the violence the music, very few people have ever played doom in mp. Till this day most mods are single player.
“Doom and mainly its mp, is ground zero for 99% of everything we having in gaming today.”
nope, it was the engine, the mod tools, carmack, the culture significance of the game, not the goddamn ip.
“Doom MP is what started it all.”
Godamn man you are stupid, NOTHING up there looks like doom, it looks like halo, the visuals the character suits, the colors the weapon sizes, the game modes, if doom started it all then why does it look like a console focused halo clone you freaking idiot?
No one will be playing doom mp atleast on pc.
He’s right, DOOM started off the 3D FPS Market, & though it did introduce a lot of the basis for what came next, it was Quake itself that really defined Multiplayer….. at least until Call of Duty.
DOOM/DOOM 2/Brutal DOOM remain iconic because people still speedrun their Campaigns, seeking all those secret passages, etc.
Though to be fair, the Single-Player looks even worse, so yeah…..
Yeah it doesn’t feel like Doom at all, it feels more like Quake, in fact reminds me a lot of Quake 3. Maybe they are pushing the MP so much because the SP might be so bad? :p The suits like stupid, haloish for sure and it looks like it’s made to appease the console users.
hahaha, well clearly you’re all too young to understand. But no, doom was not about the SP, SP was merely a bonus.
I suggest you youtube the history of 90’s Doom and it beginnings.
Wolfenstein, whihc came before Doom, was SP focused
That’s simply not true.
Quake brought multiplayer to the fore.
This is a bit of a odd topic, Doom was played mainly over local network ,Quake was played over the internet, LAN, I don’t really see what the guy is getting at, the SP only being a “bonus” just seem like an odd comment, I mean I can’t find anything referring to Doom as some kind of mainly MP game.
Damn man Doom is not about MP.. This is heresy to say that! When Doom released and after many years all the hours we spent on Doom was single player! MP is a feature of today’s gaming. When I heard about Doom I was anxious to see how the game will look and play and what I have seen so far is multiplayer and multiplayer…. Sad…
“MP is a feature of todays gaming”.
Hahaha, you couldnt be more wrong. MP has been around since the 1970’s, while more popular today, simply because there are more gamers, gaming has lost its stigma of being a boys/geeks things to do and social networking.
Not to sound condescending, but It seems there are very few adult gamers from the early days, on this website.
“gaming has lost its stigma of being a boys/geeks things to do”
Pffffff. It’s still nerdy to play anything but FIFA/COD and action games are and will always remain a boys thing. The games girls play are mobile and facebook stuff. Passing the time while you chat with friends or wait for the bus. I’ve seen women play Pokemon on their smartphones at uni. That’s how they fabricate those “women play games now” studies / surveys. They count browser and mobile stuff.
Shooters and moreso multiplayer FPS will fundamentally never appeal to most women. Pretending otherwise would be like trying to force barbie dolls on little boys. They don’t want them. Stop trying to trick them into doing what they don’t want to do.
Finally, as for your perception that Doom was a multiplayer game mainly – back in those days even getting into a match was difficult. Doom multiplayer was an important milestone, hugely influential, but it wasn’t widespread. Most people really never played MP.
Only around 1 mill bought the full version of doom, 10~ mill downloaded the shareware version.
So unless you think 10mill people just played the few free levels over and over and then sat around waiting for the first few (ok-ish) user created WADS to appears and then disregarding the fact that ISPs were actively blocking Doom related traffic and even ending mp sessions by force, due to the overload of so many people playing MP…
I guess in your alternate universe, you’re right.
In reality however…
Well, that doesn’t prove anything because the shareware version was used to promote the retail version.
It’s because the technology has got better and cheaper. the cheapest way to play multiplayer in the 80s was go into an arcade and find a game that allows it, like Gauntlet for example where 4 people play at once.
I haven’t run a poll about the age of gamers in this website.. I can speak for my self only. I am a gamer since 1989 and a collector for more than 15 years. I am not “wrong” MP back in the days was mainly couch multiplayer, side by side with a friend. Not online gaming that which is what almost defines gaming these days. And besides all that as I said Doom has nothing to do with all these. Doom wasn’t loved about its online gaming wasn’t it???
Doom was all about the SP experience, Quake is more MP orientated, Quake 3 as you know is pure MP. I’ve never known anyone refer to Doom as a MP centric experience, sure you could MP but it wasn’t know primary for it, Quake on the other hand was.
No, it was nothing but a bonus, shareware levels that were played by many, but the full sp game was purchased by far fewer, with the shareware versions MP being the biggest draw and helped if not solely responsible for birthing the mapping scene for both MP and SP.
I think what you mean is when MP really took off because of the MP deathmatch mode, not because Doom was all about the multiplayer
But the single-player is where it’s at.
Freeze tag – F yeah.
Is it bad that I’m more hyped for Shadow Warrior 2 and Serious Sam 4?
Seems SP is more like old DOOM, but MP – Quakish. )
