Doom 4 beta available! ...Sort of.

General
In a gutsy move most likely thought up by Bethesda and not Id Software themselves, preordering Wolfenstein: The New Order will give you closed beta access to Doom 4 (or whatever the next Doom's going to be called).
Click here for the official page which shows a list of retailers offering the promotion.
What's unfortunate is that currently the offer only seems to apply to actual boxed copies of W:TNO: the Doom 4 beta FAQ says that you'll find an insert inside the box that has a code you can redeem for beta access. Not offering this promotion through digital services seems rather strange. And also, the FAQ freely admits that it has no idea when the beta will actually become available, so you could be holding onto that key for a long, long time.
So if you're a gambler willing to pay full price for a game that might not even be good just so you can get a beta key for another game that's coming out who-knows-when, here's your chance. XD

if this beta is gonna work, they need to go back to what it was, WITH MOUSE SUPPORT, like those Source Port of the original DOOM, this is modern day, mouse and keyboard is the most DOMINATE FREAKIN CONTROL SCHEME!!! AND IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!!!
other than saying "GLORIOUS PC GAMING MASTER RACE!!!" but that's just mebut really, they DON'T NEED to reinvent the wheel, sometimes as they say... "IF IT AN'T BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT"
And perhaps I should endure some shame for not being aware that Doom4 was a thing-- more so that it has been a 'thing' so long its already been scrapped and development-restarted D:
I should focus on the more immediate concerns-- whether or not to crack open the wallet on a curious new wolfenstein~
