Like all new releases, the game will become better optimised with patches etc, so that will change.

I think they have covered enough for the single player. I want to see more about online.

So does this mean I could snap together a map with UAC troops and players fighting through demons to get from point A to point B? That would be really cool!

I love Quake 4, fighting with the various Marines and the missions all gave the feeling of trying to invade a hostile world and overcoming the odds. Great experience. D00M 3 just drains my soul after awhile.

I prefer the penis looking mechanical legs one from D00M 3.

LOlL "ball site" what the hell??!? LOL

I will take this opportunity to confess my sins. I apologise for the following blasphemy. 1: Final D00M on the Sony Playstation was my first experience with D00M. I did not complete the game. 2: Years later, I played D00M on PC. I did not complete the game. 3: I also tried D00M 2 on PC. I did not complete the game. 4: I purhcased D00M 2 on the Xbox Live Arcade. I did not complete the game.

LOL this whole topic is fantastic. <(^______^)>

I think the Marine is still 100% human. By super-soldier program I just refer to the tech stuff, the psychiatric treatments/conditioning just to prepare him for his role thats all. His humanity is important for D00M given the whole Man overcoming Hell thing.

Haha I really like this one! I don't mind, I think the new cover is fine, maybe some more battle damage on him? His face looks creepy lol, stone cold killer. LOL!

When I was a kid, I figured that in the future, DOOM wouldn't have levels. It would be an entire base all loaded on the machine and people would play together on the internet, however everyone would spend the majority of the game in isolation from each other, trying to regroup would be the main goal and players would help activate things to help players navigate their individual sections, failing that, players would have to travel longer and more difficult routes. I didn't think about gameplay because that can evolve and change, the setting and themes of isolation and trying to manage your ammo and fighting hordes of enemies was the point. I think D00M 2016 looks great, but it's nothing compared to what my mind thought games 20 years in the future would be like, and in that regard it is disappointing.

It's just a business decsion they made because of the statues. Bethesda had to pay X amount for those things and want to make sure they dispatch all of them. Perhaps they have enough market data to suggest people are more likely to buy either the Collector's or UAC edditions, rather than just a larger Collector's edition because people don't want to pay over $180 dollars for a demonic statue that rotates. I would rather the UAC edition, artwork books and posters are more traditional and fits my expectations, don't have to pay out my ass for them either.

I don't think he will speak, but I know his origins have changed and we will learn more about him. Things I noticed: Doomguy was a Marine, and sole survivor thoughout the previous games. In D00M 2016, the Doomguy is still a Marine, however this time he is 'activated' and deployed to the UAC facility to destroy all of the demonic forces. He is not a part of an existing Marine element like Doom 3 or the sole survivor of one (doom & doom 2) I think the Doomguy is part of a UAC Super-soldier program, in an exosuit that is a hyrbid of UAC technology and satanic 'advancements', and that he has been through a great deal of psychiatric treatments rending him in to this cold silent type that isn't afraid and non-susceptible to demonic possessions. Just a theory though.

Thanks for that, I am pleased!

Aw no reloading huh? Damn. Fair enough then, no pouches.

I actually can't enjoy any of the original D00M games anymore as I tend to develop a kind of motion sickness from them. =\ However when I was younger I did enjoy playing Final D00M on the PSX. Ooorah Marine, welcome to the community.

He looks ready for getting mauled by whatever God forsaken creatures get their claws on him, however I don't understand the lack of pockets, pouches for magazines etc. He seems very bare, and I don;t understand the left shoulder armour, what that pointy part sticking out is for.

It's nice to hear that someone else prefers a laptop over the traditonal desktop setup. The mobility and compact nature is just fantastic. I hope you find the right laptop, best of luck.
