Doom (2016) - Closed Beta Starts Today!

9 years ago General

Make sure to check your e-mail and redeem your Doom beta codes if you haven't already, because the multiplayer beta finally starts today at 10 PM ET, a little less than 12 hours from now.

Good hunting, marines! ;)

Is it just pure PVP or do they have coop modes as well? Cause if its the former I'm not interested really even though I do have a beta code I have been holding onto since Wolfenstein: The New Order first bloody came out.

According to this page, the two modes will be Team Deathmatch and Warpath (which is faintly similar to Payload from Team Fortress 2). I don't think the game has any built-in cooperative gametypes: that'll be up to SnapMap modders to build.

Well looks like I won't be playing the beta then, I am pretty much coop only.

Yeah, same here. I admit being kinda disappointed with the beta's offerings and hoped there'd at least be a small sample of the singleplayer campaign. But hey, I'll take what I can get. At least this way I can tell if my computer will even run the game. XD

Man, the advanced video settings are not enabled, my laptop barely manages to run DOOM Beta at 42fps at 720p resolution, and that's just the menu screen...
I'm worried I may not be able to play on my laptop at all

Yeah, laptops are never exactly top-of-the-line gaming machines. Even worse, the new Doom has very few options to tweak graphical settings. Are you running on the lowest resolution and in fullscreen? That's about the best you can do.

Yeah, running at 720p, which is the lowest, low blur, no vsync, no chromatic aberration, TSAA AA... 42fps is the best I can get

Yeah, the minimum specs are:

-Intel Core i5-2400 or better / AMD FX-8320 or better
-8 GB RAM
-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (2GB) or better / AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB) or better

You've got more than enough RAM, but your processor's on the slow side and your GPU is bare minimum.

Did you get a chance to play the beta?

If it's any consolation, people were able to hack the game and find a bevy of advanced graphical options that were locked in the beta, so hopefully those will become available in the final version and allow you to more carefully optimize your framerate.

Yes, I played it plenty, reached max level, loved the assault rifle and super shotgun with siphon grenade combo

I saw the hacked menu, looking forward to that
