It shouldn't even be a choice between the two, as it should just be A on one side, B on the other, then everyone is happy and we can all forget about the lame ass shit they're trying to pass off as the front cover right now.

[Inspector Lagomorf]

I LOVE Cover B but I definitely get a Brutal Doom vibe from it. It doesn't seem like something that would fit a AAA game released in 2016.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know which cover is actually leading in the Twitter poll?

Thanks Lunick.

[Inspector Lagomorf]

Watch that marketing executives intervene and say they think Cover A will sell better, so they're going with that.

[MusicallyInspired]

Looks like option B won the reversible side vote (as if it was ever in any doubt).

[PikaCommando]

Sickass new trailer for Doom's multiplayer!





I wish the announcer sounds more brutal though.

[Mr. Tibbs]

Other than the blood and gibs, this looks like Halo 4 MP which makes sense since it was made by Certain Affinity.

[PsychoGoatee]

Also gives me a bit of a Quake 4 multiplayer vibe and a little UT in there too. Looks good!

Other than visuals, it doesn't play anything like Halo 4 MP, or any Halo MP. (I'm a fan of Halo's MP, and play it regularly)

It's more like Unreal Tournament actually, even moreso UT than Quake 3, with a little Quake Live (In regards to loadouts). All games I play regularly as well. Only major thing that sets it apart (and a negative IMHO) is that it has some severe movement slowdown when you strafe.

Turns out that Doom 4 has bots for multiplayer as well. I have the leaked build, and it enables stuff the closed alpha didn't have. (Such as a Q3-Style movement cvar, which removes the aforementioned strafe slowdown).

I think the only thing mildly Halo-like in Doom 4 MP, is the Repeater Rifle, which is basically like the Battle Rifle. (3-shot burst rifle that can headshot.)

Is it a gradual slowdown or instant slower speed the moment you begin to strafe? Can't imagine how anyone would want to play with that on.

Are the bots functional in the leaked build?

Instant slowdown, cancels out forward momentum too, very irritating. For example, you could hold forward and build up to a running pace, then if you tap strafe left or strafe right while still holding forward, you nearly stop dead in your tracks.

Bots are functional, and they're very good. They traverse the map intelligently and know how to use the parkour system.

Love that WIlhelm scream. Looks great!

[deuxsonic]

Here's a question I can't seem to make sense of. Going through all the video and screenshots that I've seen of DOOM 2016, they show 2 different designs for the plasma rifle. I've considered the game's weapon upgrade system but the differences between the 2 meshes are great enough that it doesn't seem like an upgrade (it looks like a different design of the gun.) They've shown both meshes in single player and multiplayer so I don't know what to think. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this and what they think:



Both designs have appeared in recent media, so I don't think that the mesh was replaced with one or the other.

Ask questions, the truth is out there. I know when Doom 4 plasma gun is at least, May 13th babah!

The one on the left is used in the closed and leaked alphas... The attachment on the side fires large orange balls of plasma that are affected by gravity and leave an AOE burning effect on the ground for a short duration.

[deuxsonic]

Why would they maintain 2 different copies of the gun though? Even in present-day footage you still see the one on the left.

[Striker]

Likely different appearances for different mods. (Different receivers, attachments, etc are all quite possible.) Or, the one on the right might just be an outdated mesh, as the one on the right only showed in the E3 footage.

Also notice that the shotgun model has changed in the recent multiplayer trailer as well, quite different from the campaign footage we have seen so far.

[Tea Monster]

1. - They swapped it recently and are still using screens and recordings from before the switch.
2. - They released that one in the alpha, didn't like it and are using the new one in development builds. Screens will be taken from dev builds and will show the different one.

[Micky C]

They both look pretty generic/forgettable though...

[brullov]

Was it posted here? Anyway, take this wallpaper right now

Spoiler

[leilei]

Yeah the pinkish colors, busy terrain and composition and the lack of clean lines on Doomguy in that one feels more like a deviantArt commission than a game cover.

[deuxsonic]

I really liked the designs that DOOM 64 used. I wish they had made the Doomguy look more like this (and therefore in turn more like the original) than from head to toe in heavy green armor like Master Chief.
