Personally I'm looking forward to this game more than TF2, Halo, DNF, and HL2 combined. Ofcourse then again, I consider DOOM1 to be the best single player game ever made and DOOM2 to be the best multiplayer game. The DM in this one is enough to get me interested with all of the good weapons I've seen just in the test (we need good weapons with fast gameplay...I like CS; but I'm tired of the whole realism slow it down and limit players trend; DOOM 1&2 were the best, after that it was a gradual slow down to the point where even running and gunning at the same time is discouraged). I can't wait to work on some mods for this game! I think it could be the first technological advance in GAMEPLAY since Q1 (which gave us a true 3d world that affected gameplay).

Either way, this game will be seriously considered for purchase.

This game is fun, but i wouldnt call it good or warrant buying it. I might be wrong but i think almost any company around the world could create a game like this if they choose to. It really doesnt take much effort to make "cool guns" and chuck in lots of monsters.

But saying that i dont mean you should only buy games that were difficult or challenging to create, but croteam seem to have been put on some game god like level when all they've done is apply the doom formula to a new engine.

The engine is the best part of the game, but the design and the setting are trully awful of mario 64 proportions.

Isn't a multiplayer demo in the works for release soon?

I'm looking forward to coop. Mowing down those badies with the chaingun is the shit. I've probably played the test demo more than all 3 quakes single player modes combined. Throw out Quake 2, and it's not even close.

It's a switch from the normal game play of today - Half-life wanna be's. Half-life is a good game but gets annoying at times; Opfor seemed to dwell on "move box from this spot, to that spot, jump open door, move box again." That got old.

if it has a plot that's all well and good. I'm going to say "I understand" if it doesn't; this is the first game to come from a previous behind the Iron Curtain country.

Everything has to be enjoyed on different levels. And hey, for $20, why the hell not? I'll betcha Doom 3 costs $60 when it comes out...
