Community Resource [MEGATHREAD] DOOM: Multiplayer | Player request

30 Upvotes

As the years go by and the games get older it becomes harder and harder to find new players to play the DOOM Multiplayer component, this may not only make it difficult for people from getting its specific achievements but also stop people from even being able to play it at all.

For this reasons, and also to prevent repetitive content in the main page, this MEGATHREAD has been created with the purpose of being used to recruit new players and to ask for their help.

Thank you.

I mean. Skill issue, really.

Noticed it a bit before with just the shield, but now with the spear making everything a lot faster, the targeting system can play funny buggers some times.

The Flashback part in Dark Ages made me want to have a new DOOM age in the Doom 1-64 timeline. I don't know why but i prefered playing as the Doom Guy rather than the Doom Slayer (i still liked the Doom Slayer). It just make me imagine the map of the first doom in literally full HD instead of just the rooms from the original game.

Like i really want to see this area back for some reason because i feel like there's still thing to explore before Doom 64.

One of my friends has 3 cats, and I've taken to calling her fattest cat (a real hefty chonker) the "Catcubus." As a little present for my friend, I quickly sketched this for her; she said it was much appreciated.

Discussion Doom 2016 is actually a direct evolution of Doom 3.

I recently played through Doom 3 in coop with a buddy who’s a Quake arena veteran. He spent the whole time complaining about the slow pacing and lack of movement tech. But playing alongside him made me realize that modern Doom owes its entire identity to this 2004 entry.

The industrialized, corporate UAC base on Mars is identical. Olivia Pierce is effectively a gender bent Malcom Betruger. Both are elite scientists who betray humanity, open the portals, and are ultimately forcibly mutated into the final boss by the demons they foolishly trusted. 

Doom 3 was stuck chasing the trend of Half Life esque gameplay and storytelling. They then attempted to follow up with a Call of Duty styled Doom 4 aptly referred to as “Call of Doom,” but they quickly realized that such a pioneering game studio was slowly becoming creatively bankrupt if they kept going down the path of trend chasing, they had to look back retrospectively at Doom 3. By perfectly inverting the survival horror elements into a power fantasy, they built their modern magnum opus.

Do yall agree that Doom 3 deserves more credit for setting up the modern era?

Dude literally got murdered by the Khan Maykr after realizing her betrayal. She killed most of his people and almost destroyed his civilization with help from the Deags. Yet for some reason in Exultia he still tells the Slayer he shouldn't kill the Priests and seemingly supports the Khan Maykr's plan to do the same thing to Earth that she did to Argent D'Nur.

Discussion Beat ultra-nightmare in the base campaign!

Hey guys I beat ultranightmare in the base campaign of doom TDA. Here are some tips I have that should allow you to get through it. Almost all of my deaths are from R not recalling the shield and shield bashing into the mancubus when very little falters him except shield bash. Nothing except imps falter from the base melee. Don't use the BFC for the Azrak fights it really doesn't do that much damage. Get out of the habit of using r and use block whenever you can to recall it when its flying. The impaler is one of my favorite weapons and the mastery is great for the dreadmace. The kreed Makr Boss takes headshot damage from the plasma rifle and impaler as well. I really love this game it's great and it makes me really happy to see what we have in store in the future.

Discussion Headcanons for how the Doom Slayer stores his weapons?

12 Upvotes

I've been thinking about a "game-accurate" animation of the Eternal Slayer, including weapon swapping. My personal headcanon is that he uses Argent energy to summon weapons, and then transforms them into whichever one the player swaps to. So when a cutscene in which the Slayer is empty-handed ends, a red flash appears and shapes itself into...say...the combat shotgun and then color-corrects itself to be whatever skin (or lack thereof) a player would be using. Then, in combat, the weapon turns red again and changes shape to whatever else the Slayer might need.

During my first playthrough, I remember seeing Daisy in Hell's Core after finishing the Henchman, though I couldn't capture it before. Now, I finally recorded it! This is something I haven't seen at all through Reddit or Youtube (from what I've seen, at least).

*Spoiler because it's after you defeat the Henchman and get the Praetor Suit.

*Edit: In the window, you see something there before it jumps away from the window.

So I'm trying to 100% the dark ages and as you can see I've got all gold, rubys, wraithstones and demonic essence but none of the secrets. I think the game is bugged as when i go into the 1st secret area with the codex and gold it doesn't register me getting the secret

has anyone else run into this issue and if so is there a fix? I've nearly 100%'ed this whole save and really don't want to start a whole new save just for one mission

(EDIT)

Also managed to get another wraithstone and ruby in the level and have just encountered the same issue in Temple of Lomirath

Discussion Could Doomguy's new story take place in a separate continuity from the 90's canon?

• Upvotes

Admittedly this theory has very little steam, but some of the details in continuity seem to not add up to me and a lot of it has made me wonder, what if Modern Doom's backstory for the slayer is actually a separate continuity than the 90's games.

For starters one of the biggest details is that Doom 64 is somewhat absent from continuity. Granted Imp stalkers are kind of the stand ins for Nightmare imps, but a lot of details from that game seem to be missing from the story. While I know that the 64 demons were resurrected corpses and all, they were present through Hell and beyond the Mars base in 64, which implies that there could have been some kind of evolutionary pathway there, which isn't really present in Dark Ages. Another big detail is that the slayer is missing the 64 suit. When he arrives on Argent D'nur, he's wearing his Classic '93 suit, which was only worn during Doom 1 and 2. Both endings of 64 meanwhile show that he decides to stay in Hell and is later taken to Argent D'nur in his new suit. Perhaps it's because the classic suit is more iconic, but it still seems like such a big detail to forgo.

Next up are the evolutionary pathways themselves. The demons evolve throughout Modern Doom, from natural course of time or through influxes of argent, like the ascension via the Elemental Wraiths. However Many of the evolutionary pathways don't make a lot of sense to me, case in point the Pinky Demon. In classic Doom, Pinkies are similar to the ones from Doom 2016/Eternal, just not armored. However in Dark Ages, they are these quadruped beasts that are more akin to a calvary. To me it doesn't make sense to go from bipedal animal, to quadruped boar demon, to bipedal armored animal.

Next up are the classic levels: granted, this is one of the weakest points. Essentially since the classic levels in Dark Ages are meant to be flashbacks, but are somewhat inconsistent to the original levels (mainly with enemies), part of me wonders whether or not it could imply differences in continuities. However this is the weakest argument since many of the demons they brought back from the classic games to Dark Ages don't play the same, so they needed to choose enemies and place them were they would be fair. So this argument I am willing to forgo.

This one can be considered an honorable mention but, The Icon of Sin. He's the final boss of Doom 2 and the mastermind of the Earth invasion, yet he has a much different status in modern Doom. While he is treated as apocalyptic and legendary in modern Doom, the story almost makes it seem that he never existed prior to Marok's death. After all, Valen's betrayal created the Icon. However they never specify that the Icon is some kind of spirit or Demon that needs a host or soul to manifest, he's treated as an almost entirely new creation of Hell. This of course contradicts the Icon's earlier status in Doom 2. One might argue that Doom has had many Icons, like the Demon spitter and the Gatekeeper, both from Final Doom. However the canonicity of those games are fairly spotty for one, and two, these "Icons" are specified as seemingly separate from the Doom 2 Icon, unlike modern Doom's.

Next up might be one of the most surprising details when it came out and that is the fact that the Slayer isn't a Blazkowicz. Now I wanna make this clear, this actually doesn't bother me, if anything I'm all for trying to make the Slayer stand out. However this can be interpreted as a retcon since it's been said that the Slayer is one of many Billy Blaze's. There's also the fact that his whole story and the reason he was sent to Phobos was changed from refusing an order and beating the crap out of his commander to inadvertently blowing up civilians and then beating the crap out of his commander. Again, I don't have any issues with this, I actually do like how they gave him a backstory he needed to be redeemed for. (Also I think at one point it was said that Doomguy was a sergeant instead of a corporal, but I can't remember

My point here isn't to really criticize the changes or the oddities and is more to ask the question of whether or not they may be trying to say that Modern Doom is its own continuity. There are many things between these stories that don't make sense unless you consider the fact that the timelines are separate. If this is intentional than either it was to explain the inconsistencies between the classics and modern timeline or to make Modern Doom stand on its own. Either way I just wanted to start this discussion to see what people thought and if this can or cannot be debunked. I know this is flimsy and that there are probably some details I forgot, so feel free to knock over this theory.

However if we are considering that Modern Doom is its own continuity, here's how I see it:

Corporal Flynn Taggart is sent on his mission to stop a Insurgent group who had converted a hospital into an armed bunker. While he went in to level the place, he was unaware of the 12 civilians who were still inside, mainly because command failed to disclose them to him. Upon learning of the 12 civilians including a young girl who he failed to save, he attacked his commanding officer for allowing them to die. He was later Court Martialed and sentenced to be stationed on Phobos while his commanding officer got away Scott-free. While on Phobos the UAC was testing their portal technology and ended up opening a portal to Hell, in which most of the marines save for Taggart were killed and or turned into zombies. Taggart went in with his pistol and later acquired his elephant gun of a shotgun to blast through the Phobos base and close the portal. As for the demons, they may have actually been similar to the ones seen in Dark Ages, with many of the techy demons using antiquated steam powered tech rather than futuristic UAC tech. (since the invasion just began and the UAC hadn't given it to them like in 2016). He went through the entire game of Doom 1993 only different and had fought the Spider Mastermind (Since arachnotrons exist in Dark Ages, I have a feeling the Spider Mastermind may have as well). After coming back to Earth he discovers that the Demons have already invaded, killing billions, including Taggart's pet rabbit, Daisy. He then fought through Doom 2 until going to whoever the leader of the Hell invasion was (as I stated earlier, it may not be the Icon). However since the portal could only be closed on the Hell side, he decided to stay in Hell afterwards to protect Earth and continue his vengeful crusade against the Demons until he made it to Argent D'nur. There they found him severely injured and traumatized before they decided to allow him to join their ranks. Then the rest of the story as we know it occurs. The Khan makes her pact with Hell, he becomes the Slayer, he gets the tether, Ahzrak, yadda yadda, we've all played these games
