It's taking forever to download for me, it's stuck on "preparing to download" at 10% and not moving an inch. Is something wrong with the servers or something?

You think you have it bad? The update caused steam to not consider Doom and a bunch of other games I have installed to be installed anymore and before I could "re-download it" I had to delete most of my steam games first.

I'm not on PC btw and I forget what I said it's downloading now.

Edward is the biggest jerk on these forums. This isn't news. If he doesn't like something you said ... he will drop what he is doing and let you know ... oh he will so fucking let you know!

Anyways I can't wait too play MP again. It has been a few weeks since I was unable too be at my house till yesterday (hardwood flooring project).

I hope we get some new info at Quakecon regarding Single player DLC. That seems too be the content that people want most.

Complaining about badass new content being released just a few months after the game seems a bit ungrateful.

"badass new content" ? It's a bunch of maps and a new game mode.

I'm not upset that the content is late, but that the content is shit AND its late. IF we were getting 5 new singleplayer levels with their own storyline 3months after the game was out I would be all up in my arms praising id, but this is stuff that was probably complete by the end of the production of the game but it was chopped off from the actual game to be sold as DLC or whatever. If you can't see that, you're the kind of person video game companies target to sell their bullshit

[RightField]

I'd figure it was done right about now. That is finished bugtested. Which makes sense given the "some time in the summer" and then the sudden dates so close to the release.

[DMPhobos]

For a small update to support the MP, it sure has a lot of ungratefull people. I get it that a lot of folks don't like the MP, but really? Can't they just move?

You know... at this point i expect that should they ever release a SP DLC, people are gonna shitstorm because it's not free like the MP Update... people sure love to complain about everything about this game

I'm actually fine with these free updates, as for SP DLC honestly I'd rather they focus adding more SP content for the next DOOM game so that it's loaded with SP modes and a really long campaign :)

Do you really think they could've developed 5 Singleplayer levels in 3 months after release? No developer would be able to finish even one in that timespan.

And DLC planning and development begins while the main game is being developed, yes. The reason it didn't come out sooner was because it was still being worked on then had to go through QA. Had it been already complete it would've come out significantly sooner and not late like you said.

Very this

[Chezza]

You know what would be magical? If they correct the Dev mode termination of my Snap Map level I worked very hard on. All they did was create a prevention and essentially deleted / hid my work. Now I can't even play it on offline mode.

Months in Bethesda forums requesting help and I got nothing.

Downloading on Xbox one right now. Says size of DL is about 13 gigs.

Well I'm guessing you are not big on sp and maybe are an mp guy.

I am not. I don't want to wait years for more sp content, no thanks.

''really long campaign'' yeah like the really long one we got now *sarcasm**

[Jaxxoon R]

How would you reach the conclusion that he doesn't want more singleplayer when he is, in fact, asking for more singleplayer? The last remark doesn't really make any sense anyways, considering his desire for the next game to be longer than this one. The only difference is he's actually willing to wait as opposed to complaining when they don't have something ready to go 3 months after release.

ALRIGHT. So here's the rundown of what i've discovered in the new update that hasn't been listed (Yet):

• NEW SOUNDS. There is now piano, violin, guitar, flute, and even UI sounds.
  
• NEW ANNOUNCER VOICE. We got the ol demonic bastard, and the guy from the intro cutscene making sound clips!
  
• STAGGER EDITING. You can now edit the stagger (the thing that leads to glory klls) and how much health needs to be depleted, if at all
  
• CAN HOLD 15 WEAPONS AT ONCE. holy fuck that is ALOT OF GUNS. Its done with having TWO weapon wheels!
  
• CAN NOW GO GOD MODE AND INFINITE AMMO DURING SNAPMAP TESTING. you can also select what player slot you'll use during testing.
  
• A NEW FUCKING HUGE UAC MODULE. This seems to be a module meant to put props to make your own stage. Its odd, but may work for some people.
  
• STATIC OPTION ON PROPS. You can now make props static, which remove the network memory they take up! Which means MORE FREE NETWORK USAGE!
  
• NEW INTERACTABLE OBJECTS. Two new buttons, two new Hell buttons, AND THE GORE NEST is part of the props list!
  
• AMMO.
  
• AMMO.
  
• AMMO. finally.... this has made it in....
  

Although some things are off with this update, such as:
- VEGA's sounds are lower volume than normal
- Guns still keep their multiplayer ammo count, so Gauss is still 4 shots
- Static Rifle can't spawn properly with "Spawn Weapon" key
- Hell modules can't fuse with UAC modules unless you use a special hell trasition module
- One of the Hell modules (the scattered one) has a glaring invisilbe wall (you'll know which one)

But excellet excellent EXCELLENT UPDATE.

SO STOP YOUR BITCHING ALREADY, WHINERS.

• STATIC: don't know what that does yet!

A static object is excluded from the network (thus costs no network percentage), however you also can't show/hide the object or perform other types of scripted actions to it anymore. Useful for simple things such as boundaries and solid level props.

[Almonds]

Is it just me, or does the HAR feel a lot more substantial and punchy than it did before? Firing is somehow crisper sounding, the recoil is much more noticeable, and it's firerate seems to have been slightly amped up a bit. Pretty sure they did something to the crosshair too while they were at it.

bready gudde

[MrGlide]

wHOOA , No one pointed out we've the chainsaw now and pistol, and as said before the static rifle, sweet. also the hell anouncer says summoner, so I actually assume shes coming eventually.

[Chezza]

The new pistol is awesome. I actually like to use it as one of my main weapons against lighter Demons.

he seems to be saying he is willing to wait for ever

[Jaxxoon R]

And you're saying you want it right now this instant.

Really? How does me saying that mean that I'm more of an MP guy? I like both but I'm still more of an offline SP gamer (been that way for me since the 90s as a kid).

I never said that I was gonna wait forever, don't put words in my mouth.

Everybody knows that making maps is just as simple as typing "#import newmaps".

I don't want to wait forever for a campaign expac though, some people are content with Mp and snapcrap when doom has always been a sp game. If we dont have new sp content in a year, something is effed up.

It's always been multiplayer too. The two concepts in Doom aren't mutually exclusive, and haven't been since 1993. ;)

This doesn't appear to be any known word or slang, and doesn't translate from/too anything either.
