I can't believe my eyes... Id software, the pioneers of the FPS genre and Arena shooters actually turned Doom into a Call of Duty hybrid.
“We weren’t happy with the game that was being made,” he said of the decision to kill the project. “We decided that it wasn’t Doom enough and needed to be thrown out and started over. Some folks left and some faces changed at the studio. Out of that change — which was not easy for those guys to go through — some amazing things happened.” -Bethesda
As far as I'm concerned loudouts and perks are from [i]CALL OF DUTY[/i]! I just can't express my disappointment guys... I thought Doom was going to be the game that would revive Arena multiplayer and with all of it's advertisement it would have been a big part of the game. Seems like it's just another CoD clone. Why can't it be a Quake clone instead? I'd rather have that than another CoD hybrid. Halo 4 did this too and guess what? People hated the multiplayer! So why are ID software and Bethesda going down a similar path that 343 and Microsoft went down?
Anyway I'm still getting the game for the single player and I hope they deliver there.
If you don't understand what I mean this guy does a good job explaining exactly how I feel...

[b]EDIT:[/b] I'll be honest with you guys, I don't mean it's a complete CoD rip off, just more of a hybrid between Doom and arcade/casual shooters like Battlefield and CoD with the inclusion of loudouts and Hack modules (Which will be in the full game).

I don't think this new doom is anything close to halo 4. The perks actually made a difference in that game. And load outs made a much bigger impact in that game. I played a lot of the closed beta. The movement is very arena. None of the load out weapons are automatic picks. (Though the one shot charge sniper annoys me.). Hack mods are basically just information. Unless they add more hack mods I really don't see any issues. The only iffy one is starting with armor. But the amount is so small it would never make a difference. Like you can memorize the timers. Or use a hack mod to do it for you. No biggie. To me this is like a mash up of doom, quake/ unreal tournament. With some modern cosmetic options like emotes and changing your armor/weapon skins. Sure it's not true doom. But what did you expect? Any game brought up from the past always gets modern influence. Because we all know if anything was just a straight port it wouldn't have aged well. And wouldn't sell well. I'd just accept the fact that its still closer to what doom used to be. Things could have been a lot worse.
