I think it's about time Doom had a plot that isn't tacked on, and for once a plot not blog primarily on audio logs. A number of different games are guilty of this nowadays it seems.
However all of that pales in comparison to the gameplay of course, which is paramount, and hell I think Doom 3 had similar gameplay to the originals, and that was either a good or bad thing, depending on your view of things.
butting in. If id software hired a writer for their next game, this signals a very high probability of another linear game. A FPS should not be linear, and should not have a story, it is supposed to be a fun game only. I think if the path is written out for the player, you made a high quality super tessellation movie look a like piece of shit.
