Well, I like the rocket launcher, but it doesn't seem to do enough damage. I guess that's cause everyone is slow and easy to hit. But still, when you and another dude are rocketing each other and jumping around it almost resembles quake 3 a bit.
Anyway, overall it's not bad, but playability is definitely lower than doom or quake. The map is pretty small and doesn't give you much room to maneuver, visibility is worse than earlier games because the lighting is much more varied, movement is much slower so you have less ability to dodge attacks(of course weapon damage seems lowered to balance this out a bit, but I would prefer having more control), and obviously loadouts restrict you more than weapon pickups and also means less strategy and map knowledge are required.

Only tried them a few times. Repeater seemed really weak, shotgun seemed alright. Seemed like rockets were the best, plus everyone was using rockets, so I mostly just used rockets.

I typically ownthe rocket guys...except when I directly run into them
Repeater is for the distance and with a little aim quite good imo.

Yeah I don't know why they had to try to introduce melee assassinations. It's the stupidest crap ever for a Doom game and absolutely demolishes the flow of multiplayer.
So sad. Not at all looking forward to the game now.

Melee assassinations is only a small part...and it fits! It's no issue at all...in my 15 matches so far it happened ones to me and I performed it ones myself.
Come on...you guys just want to hate this game...lol!

No. We've recognized it for what it is.
It might not be bad for a $5-$10 Arcade title, but it's no blockbuster $60 game basing it on the multiplayer we've seen so far.
Does run the game at 60 fps? Very very few devs match iD at this, and Wolfenstein games are a good example of this, they are butter smooth and so easy on the eyes 'cos of the framerate. I hope they don't break the tradition with Doom.I typically ownthe rocket guys...except when I directly run into them

I wouldnt say that. All the developers who were anybody at id Software are no longer there. Now they exist in name only.
By that, do you mean heroe Carmack? I know he isn't in the company because Facebook "bought" him, but I didn't hear nor read about any other significant desertion. Does the game feels to you like a proper 60 fps game? (I don't mind gameplay considerations that much til the full game is out)
I don't know of any big name developers that are there.
They have only the following key name employees which are more on the management front than the developer front:
Kevin Cloud - executive producer
Tim Willits - studio director
Robert Duffy - programming director
EDIT: As for Doom being 60fps, I'd be greatly disappointed if it wasn't because it's graphics pale compared to other 60fps games like Halo 5. It feels close to the 16 year old Quake 3 game, but with bad attempts at trying to modernize the MP gameplay.Tim Willits - studio director
Robert Duffy - programming director
Didn't they confirm at the Bethesda keynote back in...like, september? - that the game would indeed be 60fps?
I believe that's the entire deal with the engine setup they're using, to match Rage's framerate. Or maybe I misremember, this game has been cooking for so long now and it's still not nearly done.

It did on my G3258 and 660. My CPU is running at 4.2GHz, and I had to go down to 1366x768 with no AA to get a consistent 60. I guess I could have turned AA back on.
Tiago is quite good actually, as far as I know. Also more flexible and modern, as opposed to exhibiting a recurring tendency of getting fixated on one thing and one thing alone. Just saying.

They did say its a 60 fps title. Does the MP ALpha feel 60 fps. The game is still far away, gfx can improve. The SP gfx they showed looked great for 60 fps, but I think they were all PC.
I really want it to be good ! I will go with @Billy Idol ...lol !
Or just remaster RAGE, I liked the gameplay a LOT ! You know what, I am just gonna go play it on my pc.
