Steam Signups are now closed. Thank you for your interest in the DOOM Closed Alpha!

Got it. And it's bad :P

Got the Alpha....

So far seen from leaked videos and my point of view:
In my opinion loadouts are a fail as seen on previous leaked videos...team deathmatch it feels like clan arena with 3 weapons the moment you spawn but you can pick up health and armor...counterstrike with health/armor pickups?

Architecture is decent, but too much corridors, too much walking, too shiny, and you can bearly see your teammates and enemy....as seen in the video

Double jump is more like jet pack jump, you can jump front to side and up from the static position, good for going from level to level as seen in the video.
First hand ? moving through map.....slow mechanic.
Jumping during gameplay is slow, doesnt give you any advantage, and you can't go faster than the speed of "running" as seen in the video. Jet pack jumps are to fast climbing and coming from a to b, but not so great in practice.
Double jump is something entirely different (q2, q3, reflex, warsow ect.) and this is not it.


Weapons....so far....it feels like there are 2 railguns one overloads when zooming - other one gets full charge when not zooming, plasma gun is good, rockets are kinda good didnt manage to rocket jump, double barrel shotgun.....slow reload, meele....ok I guess....or not, some kind of machine gun, but when you press fire it fires 3rounds, and you need to keep pressing each time you want to use a machine gun like weapon? personal teleporter....ok i guess...All together ? awfull....


Movement? Lets say that new cod:black ops III, advance warfare, titanfall are 3 times faster games than this one.....

Game needs complete multiplayer mechanic redesign overhaul.....it feels too much like a console game, and a bad one.....Destiny, Halo, Gears of War feel faster than this....Rage was faster and more natural like than this one.....doom 3 was better in MP.......wolfenstein new order and the old blood feel better and faster than doom........Doom should be frantic, fast-twitch and aggressive......an it should be an example of arena shooter with pickup healths, armor, powerups, teleports and such.....because it represents itself as that but it does not represent itself as that....

Simply putted:
If they don't change it, SP will be awesome as promissed, MP will be a failure, let's hope snapmap will give us enough freedom to make a good competition mode, if not....there is stil QL (kinda), and Reflex (kinda)...

This is my opinion from footage seen on previous Alpha Test....now when I tried it myself....my opinion hasn't changed from the first time I've seen the video...overall....disappointment

3 rounds per trigger pull is called burst fire

If that's the only thing you catched...then I hope you will love the game :)

everyones got different taste

are the controls responsive as in without dealy/input lag?

It's subjectively, but since the game is slow in my opinion, I feel like there is a slight lag, but yet again I had trouble starting the game, constant waiting for server and such.

As for the gameplay after playing 15matches conclusion is:
The game feels like you are playing and fps through keyboard and mouse but with the feel of having gamepad in your hands. (console like experience on the pc......rage had issues, but that game played well on pc and was faster to play on pc than the console ---as it's suppose to be......new wolfenstein's are 5times better made than current alpha of doom, hope the fix that)
Somewhat clunkcy, slow, quake 2 on playstation 1 had faster gameplay and faster guns firerate than this game....atm I'm disappointed completely.

40 fps and sooooo much input lag, only really wanted this game for SP anyways.

40fps? specs of your pc?

amd fx-8350, radeon hd7850, 12gb ram, win7 64-bit

Well, im not trying to be a dick here but...you cant really complain about low fps in a newer game with a underpowered setup like that

minimum spec is 7870 and that runs it just fine :)

RIP

nop

well gosh darn it, i missed it.

Why can't they open the alpha up to everyone like Q3Test was and how UT 4 is open to the public as alpha. Kind of annoying.

Because it's not 1999 and the game isn't gonna be free like UT. They are hosting all of the servers and that is what they are mostly testing in those alpha weekends. They can only handle so many players right now.

If they did that, that would be the key 4 multiplayer success, but they will not do it. Shame.....I would rather them releasing SP, then MP 6months later.

i agree. ... polished sp is awesome and brings a tone of playing time, but polished MP can bring a decade of playing time and with it bigger revenues.

Like I said before, the game feels clunckly like playing a console game with keyboard and mouse but without any advanteges of using keyboard and mouse....
SP will be awesome I doubt it wouldn't.
Free content through SnapMap will be really good like starcraft arcade, tons and tons of free content made from community which i doubt will be all bad.

But for MP......Release it 6months after the game, ask community, like new UT is doing, like Reflex is doing....hack any fps moba is doing it actually....because this is the only bussiness model atm which works.....id don't be stubborn please adapt and adopt what community wants :)

here's some guy goin 40-7

from watching this it seems to rely a lot on RNJesus, basically rendering it useless for any sort of competitive play. guy spawned next to gause rifle + quad = 600 dmg l0l.

although the game does slightly have elements of quake as to how overpowered the specific powerups are (if u wanna call gause rifle a powerup), playr took out both quad and demen with it

Looks pretty meh in regards to the mp side of things.

I was going to buy it mainly for the single player any way so it's no biggie if the multiplayer isn't up to par.

They should really turn up those crosshairs, you can still see a little bit of the screen
