The SP is def the selling point of this game. Snapmap im starting to hear is just too damn limited in what you can do with it at this point.
"but iam sure you can still get some fun out of it." is the best ive heard so far about the MP :S Its bethesda afterall, they arent really good at making multiplayer games since their gameplay in singleplayer games are usually very...poor.
I think you can have fun with the multiplayer tbh, is not bad per se AT ALL, is just that it doesnt feel like doom tbh. althou we are talking about a game more than 20 years old, so it hard to do that.

Its halo in a doom world
Considering Halo is still the only console FPS worth its salt, that's quite the compliment actually.
EDIT: I've just played some multiplayer, and honestly it feels like a mode they tacked on because "games need multiplayer". This plays nothing like the single player campaign at all. The sense of speed and the sense of rhythm are all but absent.
Personal nitpick: how the super shotgun is not a one-hit kill from close range is a mystery to me.
Edit2: that snapmap feature has some potential, but so far it seems mainly to spawn horde-based modes and maps. I can imagine some zombie team maps to become very popular as soon as some good ones are out there.

Gave the open beta a shot together with a friend, we played Halo 1 back in the days together and since I've read somewhere that the mp part is developed by ex-bungee employees, we wanted to try it out. Movement and design is totally Halo-ish, but... all in all we stopped playing after about 1 hour or so as it was just boring and not really fun, weapons did way too little damage in general, I mean 9 dmg per hit with an assault rifle... Just felt like another deathmatch shooter, pretty uninspired and all those kill animations actually disrupted the game flow rather than being fun.
Played the singleplayer on a friend's machine for a couple hours yesterday, was hooked right from the start. Damn they did a good job with the singleplayer, it's so fun. To me it feels a bit more like serious sam than actual doom, but in a really good way. I find the constant "kick monsters in the face for stuff" a bit annoying, but it quickly becomes sort of an autopilot thing and I barely noticed myself doing it near the end of my first session.
Edit: I totally hear people on the multiplayer, and it would have been nice if it was good. But, TBH, I don't remember any of the doom games having an actually good deathmatch experience at all. For me it was Duke3D and then Quake that really shone in that department way back then.
Anyone know what the issue can be when doom shuts off? Its the only game that shuts off.
Sometimes i can play for hours and nothing happens. Someitmes an hour, and just recently like 5min. It shuts off, goes to windows and a "report thing" comes off. Doesnt say wahts wrong though.
Have tried google it but nothing of what i have found works.
