strafejumps, maybe rocketjumps

What makes you think those belong in Doom?

[Orchid87]

Why, WHY does the Baron look this amateurish? Like a fan made jDoom model.

I expected something like quake 3 gameplay-wise, faster running speed, strafejumps, maybe rocketjumps

So why exactly did you.....expect.....this?

I don't care about an MP beta, when is a single player demo coming?

Probably never. Very few games get SP demos any more.

Yes, but I also like originality, which means I wouldn't like to see the same type of models on every game.

I would've used colours that are more related to Doom, like Green instead of white or blue.

The white and blue colors especially awkward given their surrounding environment.

Also that announcer is pretty bad. Any chance we can get a female announcer?

[sheridan]

I don't think I'd like a female announcer for Doom. That's nice for Unreal, but for Doom it's just not the right style. Something demonic would be way more appropriate. I agree that the current new announcer is kinda shitty though.

The white+blue is actually quite nice IMO. Playing the alpha late last year, I noticed that the teams seemed to be colored dynamically, as no matter if I was on "Echo" or "Bravo" the opposing team was *always* a very visible white, whereas my teammates were always a darker blue. Doing this seemed to solve the issue some games have where certain team colors have a natural advantage with blending into the game environment.

It's OK it's just the new announcer in the trailer sucks . A female or male announcer it was actually good would be nice or at least to have a choice between the two .

I really don't understand the concept of having bright white armor I guess I just like the old red and blue or any other armor with darker colors for that matter .

[sheridan]

It means you can see them and shoot them, and they can do the same since you're white on their screen too. Everybody's white to everybody else, so "red" players don't have an easy time on lava levels versus "blue" players and so forth.

[julz_d]

OK but maybe of the color gray would be more suited to the environment than bright white?

things I noticed:

UAC armor (last clip w/mancubus)
demon armor that comes w/ preorder (0:19)
interesting skin on the vortex rifle
game is finally rated, meaning its complete, just bug fixes and optimizations being done.

it says in the video description that it's still pending a rating...

are there any other games that do this? It seems good for competitive play.

If you were in charge of the competitive multiplayer or whatever would you ban custom armour?

because the new doom want's to be a fast paced arena shooter @MP, that's why

White reminds me a lot of Toxikk, but I guess it's the most visible colour you can come up with, I'd still replace the blue armour with a bright green, they should've used a more representative colour for these guys.

What the fuck?
Are we looking at the same video?

If I were to guess, I'd say that he dislikes the bright crimson red colour of the Baron as well as its old-school design (vs. something like the Doom 3/Doom 2016 Hell Knight that looks more psychologically unsettling), but he just lacks the ability to express this in a comprehensible manner, without resorting to gross exaggeration.

[RobotJoe]

these bright and fun monsters just arn't scary n gritty enough!!!

Regarding Hell Knights , will they be playable in MP ?

I would love to get some frags with those guys .

This reminds me of that Doom 3: Resurrection Of Evil mod "Fragging Free." That was a hell of a great mod way back when. They touch on the concept through the 6:00 - 8:00 minute mark:

I personally like the Baron, but it does have that Doom3 "Hellknight with horns and pink skin" vibe about it.

Right. Too visible. As in something you might wear during a blizzard or snowstorm not in a hell and less it froze over. It's an eyesore .

How about a very light beige?

[Jaxxoon R]

You realize it's pure white for the sake of gameplay, right? Would you rather they were perfectly camouflaged for the environment at hand?

Lol..this is funny because the original hell knight was a recolor of the baron. A kind of common enemy meant to soak up as much ammo as possible.

Do we need to update the alpha for the beta or will we get an entirely new download?

Light green for allies, light tan for enemies, its a nod to the originals and it will provide slight camoflage.

[LANEGRACABRA]

The baron animations felt bit weird in the trailer... the way he grabs the player and chomps on him looks more adorable than horrifying.

I realize I would never want to wear that armor in any kind of gameplay. might as well make it glossy. Add a little red to that bright white and you know what you get something that looks like a freaking target. It's too visible way too damn visible and worst of all it clashes with the environment so bad it makes it hard to appreciate the surrounding architecture .

Oh no, here we go again .
