I love the sound of BFG Division as well. Bethesda, release the OST already.

I don't know how to feel about the over-use of those gore kills, though. You can do it to practically every enemy. It ruins their coolness.
It'd be nice if you could chain them somehow, though.
This is a markedly better game if that's what you're asking.
Turn it back to Ultra Violence. That'll take care of that.

Yes if you want to use a guiter controller to beat doom I'm not going to complain, I'm certainly not belittling anyone that chooses to use a controller, I'm just trying to emphasize that this game more than most other FPS's really works best with a mouse and keyboard, I love using the 360 pad on my PC but this the first game I genuinely felt it was holding me back, put is this way, can you imagine playing UT3 back in the day with a controller?

Fair enough, I'm just glad we have options.

I tried to use a mouse with this game but I was all over the place. It was either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.
I would assume it's more my position lying on the couch though. Pretty much why I have to use the controller. However I turned up the sensitivity and I'm killing dudes fast and furious.
Honestly not regretting it at all. So far having a ton of fun ripping demons apart.

Level design is great so far. It feels very oldschool and that's a good thing of course.
There's a lever a bit back and right (when looking at the door), in some support structure.
Ultra-violence should be pegged as "normal".

Wait until you get to the later Hell levels. One big excellent throwback. Skull keys, trap doors, they've even updated lots of the assets from Doom 1/2 (doors icons etc)

Seriously? I am playing UV right now and it doesn't seem too hard was thinking of jumping it to Nightmare but no real idea how the difficulty spike is

From a level-design standpoint it's way better imo. I found Wolfenstein to be decidedly mediocre in level-design.

Nice!
How do you open the doors that doesn't require key cards (and lead to optional areas)?

Combat shotgun is an absolute beast in multiplayer. Shreds people even at mid-distance. Best weapon in multiplayer imho.

I actually think it's a been quite refreshing enjoying this game with no reviews out, just taking the game as it is.
It's so weird because it's a redundant shitheap in the singleplayer. Actually the Super Shotty is terrible in MP, which is a reverse of the singleplayer as well. My favourite weapon is the Chaingun, especially when there are Prowlers about.

The Prowler is so goddamn cheap.

It really feels like this game is a complete surprise to most people in that a lot of negativity was surrounding it. Why better footage was not shown earlier on I do not know.
I have played just over an hour of the game and it is brilliant; the fast paced action and music is intense. I can see myself replaying the game a load of times for the secrets and to experience it all again.
I don't have the double-jump either. Is it one of those things that the game will force on you or is it a secret?
I put melee/glory on a mouse thumb button. Seems to be an improvement.

I've played further... you'll get it. There is no way around it.

I got mine mapped to the side mouse button 1 and the chainsaw to the other side mouse button. It feels a lot more fluid for me using this configuration.
I have kept the RMB as-is for the secondary features of the guns.

Yeah? How's that multi-player?
Everything needs to be accounted for and with no reviews it's too early to say people should be eating crow
Games been out 1 full day, chill
Still a lot of fun, thanks for asking.
I don't need reviews to tell me if a game is good, I've got it myself and I've made up my mind.
Crow shall be eaten.
Edit: Do you even have the game yet? You were popping around asking questions like you don't own it yesterday? How can you pass any sort of judgement on it?
Yeah, going back to earlier levels with all your new stuff is really fun. I've played through the first few levels a few times over seeking out secrets and getting the mastery things done.
This was pretty much the last I played last night when I was like "okay, it's time to go to bed..." Some butt-clenching moments (in a good way).

Phew! That was close!
The first stage was good for the SuperShotgun and the MicroRockets.

Loving it, i'm still learning the maps layout and what weapons suits me the best but so far i'm having as much fun as with Overwatch, hell if the community holds up i might even stick to playing this instead of OW for the next few months

Does anyone know how big the SP is (GB size?). I really want to play more but it's not fully installed (25 GB, 50%)

How many of the achievements are for multiplayer?
according to that trophies page someone posted, looks like only one for getting to level 5 and one for win a match, which makes me really happy.
I might've missed one, though. Lemme recheck.
Yeah, that seems to be the case. Checked an achievements site, too.

I love how, when you find a secret figure, the music from the original DOOM plays. It's altered a bit, but in an awesome way.
Yes! While Doom remains The Classic, I agree that this might be the best single player game they've ever made.

Yes.
I was worried by no review code. I was worried by the early gameplay footage that just did the glory kills over and over. But I shouldn't have been.
That's actually the weapon mod, not just aiming.

Well,I guess it's a good question, seeing as you don't own the game, but it's pretty good actually!

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The HELL music during encounters is sooooo goooood.
Wish I had cheated to unlock some of the higher difficulties. Ultra-Violence is a decent balance to start with, but now I've got good gear and upgrades it's not easy but definitely a little more comfortable than I'd like.
Honestly I think the differences between the two franchises, and now the relative quality, is exactly what we need. I said it ages ago, but for me Wolfenstein: The New Order scratched the Half-Life 2-like game itch I'd had lingering for a long, long time. I feel what Machine Games accomplished in crafting a linear, narrative driven shooter that manages to have a crazy assortment of exciting, memorable set pieces and a surprisingly moving, engaging plot and cast is nothing short of phenomenal. The on the other hand we have DOOM, which is completely gutted of modern game design fluff (which arguably was popularised all the way back to the original Half-Life) and literally almost exclusively goes straight for the throat with nothing but combat, and it excels in this regard. It's like with these new iterations of Wolfenstein and DOOM we have two exceptional proficient sides of first person shooter scales being balanced almost perfectly. The notion that we can have a game like DOOM, and a game like The New Order, all from Bethesda is really quite remarkable.
I'll thrown Dishonored's hat in the ring too. We're looking at a generation where Bethesda gives us DOOM, Wolfenstein: The New Order 2, and Dishonored 2. Imagine if Prey lives up to expectations. We're looking at four potentially brilliant first person games each distinct in vision and design all from the same publisher.
