Finished this last night and found that all the bosses seem to go down quickest with precision mode gauss rifle and BFG (at least on normal). Anyone else found good weapons vs bosses?

I've relied upon the gauss with a pinch of BFG, but I always soften them up with the chaingun, and it tears em up.
And man oh man is the gauss siege mode godly.

Just got the review code through and so far I have to say I'm loving it. Getting serious Wolfenstein The New Order vibes from this. It's exactly what it needed to be. So relieved after the multiplayer beta which I thought was a hot bag of shit.
Dat music, dat gameplay loop. Oh yes.

Someone posted some pad gameplay with no aim assist.

However, there is an option to turn it on if you wish.

I'm playing with a 360 controller on PC and I really can't tell the difference between aim assist on and off. The aim assist seems very light. Your crosshairs don't really magnetize to enemies like CoD or anything.

The game's multiplayer becomes only alright once you unlock the Combat Shotgun. For me at least.
Thanks...looks like controllers work well. Also, in that video he pulled out that demon's giant canine tooth and stabbed him in the face with it lol.
Awesome. I'm looking forward to playing some old school Doom on PC.

Gauss rifle was def my go to gun by late game, siege mode is amazing for clearing those fucking annoying ass pinkies but it is o so satisfying to 2 shot mancubus with the precision mode too lol
I like this game so much that I've stopped playing it. I don't want it to end.
I'm only playing 1 level per day at most.
But SnapMap

I think the QuakeCon Cacodemon looks better but just needs more color. The E3 Imp looks creepy and I kind of like it.
Still need to check that out more. I like what I've heard.
I've been neglecting the Gauss. Time to rectify that
The game name drops the icon of sin numerous times in the late game logs. Can you even imagine a 30 minute slaughterfest of continuously spawning mobs like the original boss fight, in this engine?
Doom 5 gonna be so sick ;-;
The setup is there, but it's not blatant.
Hayden's goal is to send Hell energy to Earth, right? And he has a super futuristic cannon-type-thing that basically shoots it home. It's gonna happen. They just didn't show your dead rabbit in the final cutscene.

Wait until you see what a siege mode killing shot leaves behind of its targets. God damn.
And nailing a shot that reduces three Cacodemons to pulp in one go is all the reason in the world to keep it at the ready.

Oh yeah for sure, it was just crazy to think maybe it's just a brown filter. But then you look at the models externally and you're like, "nope, still brown !" I'm really happy with the new designs, especially the colors. D3 was a strange mixed bag with demon designs, loved some, didn't care for others. Still kinda sad there's no Pain Elemental in this, I want to see what it'd look like! Here's to hoping it'll appear in SP DLC or the sequel.
Most satisfying gun in the game. The super shotty is a go to, but the siege mode on the rail gun just isn't fair to the demons. Craziest kill was when a hell knight was mid flight about to slam his fist down, but a charged shot took the top off of him as his lower half zoomed past me. Lol. It was awesome.
I played a couple snap maps, but they feel really, really limited compared to the main game. Is this the only way for people to create their own mods? I kinda wanted more to be honest. Also, I think it's a major letdown to give players a limited weapon setup (no mods and 2 weapon limit).

They did say that they planned on free updates for SnapMap overtime. Here's to hoping they're significant updates

I think the only thing missing from this game is a slide mechanic like the one in Wolfenstein. That would be top.
That one took me a few tries to get too

There is an easter egg of something that looks like the Icon of Sin and if you shoot his forehead with the rocket launcher a box shoots out that drops a doomguy plushie
Well he is in the game, hopefully when they do the sequel they bring up how you just kind of passed him up lol

Yeah, this was one of the only ones so far that I did in one try. Didn't have much of an issue with it.
Huh, it's really easy. Did it on my second try!

God damn at the post Hell level combat scenarios, I come away feeling...
I am sorry to hear so many people don't like the multiplayer. Personally, I like it as much as pretty much any other online shooter. Maybe more, as the lack of healing creates an urgency to find health after every damaging skirmish. Plus, the armor and weapon customizations look awesome and most of the taunt animations are a hoot.
Just wish some of that awesome music found its way into and in between matches.

Suprises people have trouble with this one.
My worst rune is the death from above kills. I swear I'm midair when I prompt the glory kill.
I found it works more often if you jump above an enemy and then look down on it before pressing F to pay respects.

That's how I pulled it off on the PS4 version.
Yeah here.
It's cool tho, I like the "puzzles" and the levels take forever this way

If it helps, just ignore it.
I'm doing the smallest bit of exploring, and almost never check the map, but am saving most of that for replays. Doubt I'll ever really use that map come to think of it.
