Pretty sure it determines the acceleration of your camera pitching. 100% means NO acceleration because the entire camera has been 100% "smoothened" -- at least in my test of cranking it all the way up, it would move dead slow and steady, would never alter pace.
I believe 0% means that acceleration just goes exponentially at a rapid pace -- not infinitely exponential but really quite fast.
Elite pad is the best way to enjoy DooM

If you are a person who dislikes precision and speed at the same time, then yes... definitely.
Holy crap already?
I have one and no.
Kb/m is the way to play this game. Anything else is just a personal handicap.
Doomguy lives life on the fast lane, it's only right that your aim should be able to keep up
wish I had recorded some of the more frantic encounters

and there's also the benefit of quick weapon switching like this
And if you're on PC, you can make sweet boomstick music

DooooM isn't designed around precision
Enemies are large and gun aim is extremely generous
KB/M is only for headshots in CS
I recommend mapping your weapons around WASD instead of using the number row
much easier to reach
I use 1 2 3

The achievements really aren't that hard to get. I'd recommend getting the multiplayer ones early since I don't see the multiplayer remaining active for long. There's only like 2 or 3 of them anyway.

Jeez. JEEZ.
I started this up, and it feels kinda like when you get in a great car, that drives so well it's like it's reading your mind.

All versions are 1080/60, right?
Nope

But impressions overall are very positive. Xbox drops more and into the low 50s/high 40s in combat scenarios and has a lower resolution average -- they point out that these were the worst case scenarios of the first four levels.
You have to have them equipped, yes.
They can be cheesed, by the way. The counters persist even after death.

Just wait until you get to the last fight in that map. That fight was just a little warmup.
This isn't a very good comparison because DOOM 3 was originally released to retail only. It was added to Steam many years after it was originally released. DOOM 3 has sold over 4 million copies worldwide.
yea i agree. i see people gushing over the vulcan footage but im not seeing anything drastically different from what im doing with a pad. sure gun switching isnt as fast but that gif looks like random ass weapon switching while firing a few shots between them anyways

So Xbox One is 1080/60 with drops.
Right. I've played about four hours so far on PS4 and have experienced almost no drops in framerate, looks gorgeous as well.

Bone is 900p with dynamic resolution drops. PS4 is 1080p and I think PS4 holds the 1080p resolution throughout, I could be mistaken.
Glorious PC is in up to 4K, as it should be.

Oh! Collectibles are saved independently from the checkpoints. I'm much less angry about them now. 
Enemies become more diverse around the third or fourth mission. Even with different weapons, things do get repetitive. Fighting waves upon waves of enemies (some of which can be considered boss fights) and iffy platforming seem to be the core of the game. Things only get more hectic as the missions progress. Admittedly, it's much more fun than not, and I can definitely see why many people see it as a breath of fresh air compared to recent FPS titles.

I'm halfway trhough the campaing, amazing. Best game of the year with Uncharted 4.
Question: Multiplayer is dead just for me? I live in Brazil and i can't find even 4 people to start a match. I don't know if the matchmaking is global or local, maybe here in Brazil very few people bought it. Has anyone had problems with it?

Dips all the time later. Nothing too bad though.
The heavy dips only seem to happen to me when using Berserk. Other than that it holds up pretty well with some hiccups here and there. Still a great level of performance given how good it looks and how hectic it is.
Yeah. I can count the number of noticeable drops I've seen on PS4 on one hand.
It drops a few frames during the Glory Kills, because of the high-quality depth of field being used during those, but other than that it's pretty rock solid.
Where do you guys keep finding these?
I've seen pics of other easter eggs but I haven't actually run into any of them :/
It was in
one of the hell levels
in an invisible wall/crack you can jump into

But time slows when you're switching so its not that big a deal.
Not going to argue that KB/M isn't far more precise, but I was actually shocked at how well this game felt with the controller once I dialed in some tweaks to the settings.
I wish the multiplayer didn't have loadouts and those fucking perk things.
Basically, a classic arena shooter modern graphics and Doom flavor, with double jumps (add control during double jumps like that one rune allows in SP) and ledge grabs.
If it were that, i'd have ideal multiplayer game for this decade.*
(And of course, a lot of the weapons would have to be tweaked (some, like Hellshot feel utterly worthless) but that's a minor thing.)
As it is, i think i won't play MP anymore.
*Before someone suggests the new Unreal Tournament, i'll note i do not like movement in it. The dodge move is really something i could do without, nor do i like the graphical style (though admittedly it is pre-alpha so graphics stuff is unlikely to be final).

How is the multiplayer on console?
I typically look at arena shooters as being PC oriented, so im curious how this is on console?

Yeah dunno might be having problems. I was playing fine earlier then took a break and yeah I just get "connecting" and it goes no further.
Just got connected. Hopefully it was just a temporary thing.
One thing this game does need to fix is the volume on the id logo at startup. I've reported it since the alpha but it's still 10x as loud as the game audio. It practically blows out my ears every time. I can put my headphones down and walk across the room and it's still clear.

So this 5 GB patch... do I need it to play the game? I wanted to start tonight but it will take all night to download.
