Not because it’s going to kill Halo but because I just found it more fun. So much more fun that when I went back to Halo after a few hours of DOOM, it seemed dull in comparison to me.
This was actually the first time a game had done this and at first I thought, okay maybe a game this good would atleast convince 343i to add a Old School playlists to Halo 5 then I remembered they aren’t real Halo fans. All the additions and removals that created Halo 5 wasn’t 343i’s innovation kicking in it was the outraged fans from Halo 4. I don’t know why 343i thought,
“Hey let’s copy Halo Reach this extremely hated Halo game but this time let’s use more of COD!”
Even now the additions to Halo 5 wasn’t 343i being on the same page as the community, these changes have only been added after months of endless yelling and some of that yelling has been going on for years. (Cough cough sangheili thread cough) without so much as a word from 343i about the subject. That’s game killing to me, not sprint not ADS it’s when the community knows whats best and the devs are playing catch up. It should be the Devs ahead with the community following behind in awe at the amazing job, and that’s what DOOM makes me feel like.
With Halo 5’s level of gunplay DOOM is looking pretty good. The only difference is the lack of redundant weapons but to be fair the redundant weapons in Halo 5 aren’t the games fault it’s the evolution of the story. With three different factions with vs the one in DOOM there are eventually going to be repeats which I can’t harp on 343i about that since they’ve tired really well to mange the three different factions and their weapons unlike Hal o 4 where it was just “That was cool now let’s do it again!”
Now at this point I bet you’re thinking, that I haven’t listed the reason why I’m scared and it’s 343i’s reaction.
They can do one of two thing at the sight of healthy competition. Imitate or innovate. That’s a little nod to something you newer fans don’t know about.
343i has shown their innovation with Dominion (which didn’t need to be removed that -Yoink- was awesome), Ricochet, the species redesign and everything to do with the Prometheans and imitation with everything else in their Halo universe.
It’s good that they’ve tried to drop those imitations but it seems 343i loves them as well with their Knights defending them with Unngoy fervor. Sit down Bungieboys, you’re just as bad! Both sides need to chill but my crystal ball says they aren’t.
I can’t really read what 343i will do when they see this competition which is very terrifying, BUT they do have the advantage. With Halo 6 being in development as DOOM is being released they can atleast see what makes and breaks the game and plan accordingly.
In my prayers I hope they’d atleast switch to a full on map editor like DOOM has which allows the players to place AI on the map. That’s been a huge thing even before Forge was in Halo, that desire is strong in gamers.
I understand that old is tired and dry so new comes along but I’m not blind. Not all of the old was good and not all of the new is good but 343i it’s your move I hope you play your cards wisely, with all that money from the reqs.
I saw a gameplay clip of the Doom Beta while i was at work earlier, and after about 30 seconds i went right into the store to queue up the beta DL. I’ll try it out tomorrow but it does look like a good time
I honestly don’t see what everyone sees in the game. It looks like a highly revamped version of the original DOOM, which was awful. The multiplayer just looks like they just stole a copy of Halo 5 and smashed some DOOM into it, thereby making it worse.

Old School DOOM shaped Halo. Insulting it is literally insulting Halo’s parents. I don’t think Halo would take too kindly to say saying Yo Momma jokes behind it’s back.
But really, are you serious? It seems like you’re unnecessarily hating on DOOM. You can say you just don’t like it for X reason but you don’t need to bash it for it existing. What are you some kind of video game racist?
It’s Free to Play right now, you’d only be hurting your self not trying it out, atleast this way you’d get a feel for it. I’d recommended you try and I really do mean try that games addicting, to stop at lvl 10. That’s when you really start getting a feel for the game and get past all the low level grumble.
the doom beta is a ton of fun and not what i was expecting. Its like quake and gears had a baby and its executed flawlessly. Im very interested in the full release of doom, but I’ll always set aside time for halo.
These Doom vs Halo threads are dumb. Two different games. Very different. Halo isn’t going “die” because of another shooter. If CoD can’t do it then Doom sure as -Yoink- isn’t going to.

Here’s a few things we love about it, it has a load of customisation that we don’t have in Halo anymore. In fact, you can customise everything, helmet, arms, legs, torso, you can colour and shade them, make them look dirty, make them look scratched, or both, you can add patterns and emblems, and shade them too. Also, everything you can do with armour, you can do with guns, you can match everything up if you choose. It has emotes, it’s very fast without sprint and it has blood, another thing that Halo does not have anymore, and most importantly it’s fun to play, especially Warpath.
One can only hope Doom slaps some sense into 343i and 343 starts listening to what made Halo great.
Really? Admittedly I haven’t played it but I’ve read a majority of negative things about the beta for doom.
I played a lot of the Doom beta. It’s awesome. I love it!!!
Didnt like doom at all.
Battleborn is fun… And has splitscreen.
I played the closed alpha none stop, I played the closed beta none stop and now iv been playing the public beta and I can’t wait for the full game, honestly it’s just a great game and is great fun all the time.
Interesting I thought the doom beta was generic. Maybe I’ll give it another try. Plus most of the maps will look even more the same than halo 5s. Starting with a rocket? No thanks. I was pretty bored but maybe I’m wrong.
EXACTLY RIGHT!!
DOOM proves you don’t need sprint and other gimmicks to “evolve” or be “modern” like the sheep who claim so for halo. Look at doom, it is VERY fast paced without any of these gimmicks. DOOM is proof halo should ditch all this u necessary change and go back to its roots, get Halo 3, increase the movement speed and jump height, adjust gravity, add Halo 5 weapons and Warzone, and there you have it, an evolved formula. Not the mutant abomination we have now.

"DOOM was awful" he says, yeah your point is completely invalidated after that one kid.
Hey if anyone wants to play with me just add me. I love doom 4, not as much as halo 5 though.

I know right? He even claims they copied Halo 5?? Doom was the game which essentially popularised the arena shooter genre, so games like Halo built on that. You could say DOOM is Halos distantly related grandpa. “TheDidact” proves that, generally, the people who defend 343s mistakes are obviously too young to understand anything about the fps genre.
Don’t believe the OPs nonsense. I’ve played the new Doom beta and it’s not great at all. It’s an arena shooter with sodding loadouts, so no power weapon battles. Extremely boring and repetitive, it’s been way overhyped. From what I’ve read a lot of people feel the same way.
Halo 5 is still head and shoulders above the competition. They just need to fix the basics, such as the lag.
Most of the bad reviews on the gamd are from players that have not played the game. I know alot of people were bashing it on steam even before the beta was released.
Don’t get me wrong there isn’t anything special in doom but it is fun to play. As for the rockets at spawn you are doing yourself an injustice if thats all you use. I used it at first and unlocked the other guns and quickly realized how bad the rocket launcher is. All and all if you don’t like the way it plays that’s on you and that’s fine. Personally I enjoy the game and it plays alot like unreal tournament I can’t wait to see the other modes and maps in the full game

Head and shoulders above the competition aye? My matches search times and inability to find games in half of the playlists says otherwise. And it’s not my connection, every other game I play is perfectly fine and I get matched instantly.
