5 Ways DOOM Is The Perfect First-Person Shooter
3. No-Nonsense Multiplayer Modes
id pioneered the idea of multiplayer Deathmatches and this new imagination of the game takes multiplayer to a whole new level. With six modes available at launch, there are countless ways to die, and even more ways to get your next kill.
These modes are all about hunting down that next kill and being constantly on the move. Two modes available include Soul Harvest, in which players have to collect the souls of their fallen enemies, and Freeze Tag, a lethal variation on the old playground game 'Tag', where players hit with weapon fire become frozen until a teammate comes to free them.
One power up even lets players assume the role of a demon briefly, which completely changes the game. There's a sense of power that comes from this, and it rewards that 'kill first, ask questions later' mentality that's rife in the entire title.
id know how to make good multiplayer maps that are immediately accessible. This fast-paced and varied mode shows that the studio has been doing this for years – it’s a game built by gamers for gamers and this really comes across in the end result.
