Etc… But each level is traditionally able to be beat from scratch without having anything from a previous map. If you managed to hoard rocket ammo until you encountered a cyberdemon, good for me. What you manage to retain between maps is part of your uniqueness in your playthrough. Is it some attempt to attempt to be like the episodes of doom 1? Where you don’t retain anything between them? In all honesty I preferred Doom 2’s structure. I had been saving ammo for apparently no reason? I understand why you might do it I guess, but it just pisses me off as the player. At some point in the campaign you get captured and lose all your stuff.

And consoles were starting to win me over by that point. I generally end up losing interest in the game at that point. I played until some mission has you wake up without all your gear/ammo that you had collected so far because you got captured. I tried to experience co-op later on the 360 version of it but it was a little bit too little too late and barely played by anyone. I finished doom 3 and kind of enjoyed it solo but because it came out without co-op at first (or maybe even multiplayer), I kind of didn’t care very much about it. Then everything since then from ID has been kind of meh. Kinda terrible if you wanted another co-op/solo/campaign game. I vaguely remember a less good bfg in that one. And later I started to really hate Quake 2’s weapons because the pistol was an infinite pea shooter and no weapon felt memorable or satisfying or impactful. I liked Quake 2 and 3 even though 2 was it’s own new thing that felt closer to Doom than Quake. I feel like only Quake 2 and Quake 4 really thematically connect. The quake series is such a jumble of poorly connected games. Here’s hoping ID is smarter than those halo jerks. Only useful to people with friend lists that somehow all want to play the same game with you.Īnd besides, borderlands killed the halo star, for me at least.Īnyhow.

And I really hope so too because it’s the difference between usable or simply garbage to me. Since they are so focused on their snapMap feature. But I suspect doom will let you play random people with custom maps. Plus it seems I can make monster based levels in the snapMap feature Doom 4 will have. Halos have had console based level editing for a long ass time but they are ■■■■■■■ idiots about how you can’t play online vs randoms on custom maps and don’t seem to let you make maps with monsters. As quake 3 didn’t have a real solo campaign.ĭoom’s snapMap seems to promise a Mario maker level of creativity. And even then Doom 3 wasn’t checking all the boxes. I haven’t been this excited for an ID release since Doom 3 really. It’s annoying that they release so close to each other.

I’m looking forward to to Doom almost as much as Battleborn.

Is doom 2016 snapmap any good
