Anyone here play Doom for the 360?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone here has Doom on XBLA. It's hard to find a game at times so it's always good to have a decent size friends list of Doom players. Either Deathmatch players or coop players would be nice.

On a side note I do own this game (and the other dooms) for the PC but I don't play them much; I just prefer the xbox 360 version as I'm more use to using controllers than a keyboard (don't play many PC games and once I did Doom 2 on nightmare I just stopped playing the PC versions altogether; still have to go through Final Doom).

I don't play deathmatch, and I'm not sure how I am for co-op, just because my DSL tends to be slow sometimes; it isn't a problem for regular 360 games, but for some reason XBLA games suck for networking.

If you're going to add me, let me know, because I have a habbit of not accepting requests if I'm not expecting them.

i remember reading about a utility that allowed play of pwads over xbl, but only pwads that are vanilla-compatible. i also remember that community collectively busting a nut when they found out they could play "suspended in dusk" using this utility.

that's it...just some vague memory.

Vanilla compatible wads are the way to go. Does this include dehacked patches?

I've played both doom 3 and the classic dooms on my xbox. I found doom 3 to play generally okay with a similar enough feel, but the classics just felt awkward with a joystick instead of arrow keys. Maybe it's just me, but I felt a little handicapped in a console environment. To each his own though - if I ever do play online I'll be sure to send a PM your way!

If you can get used to the controls, you might like the 360/XBLA version. For better or worse the controls are still the same, but it doesn't have many of the glitches of the old Xbox UDoom port, and it runs at a higher resolution.

Well, I played the demo. Fun I guess. Makes me think of the same amount- let me correct that, Makes me think of the exact same qualities the Doom 3 Special Edition and RoE had. Only without the Live multiplayer which I easily substitute with Skulltag on my comp.

They *******ely released something that is bound to be worth buying off the marketplace. I mean, it's Doom, you can pay for it again. Kinda how the franchise works. **
