[Withdrawn just in case I shouldn't have shared that] Abbreviated version: one of the people who used to be involved in the Quake scene during the days of Blue's News and shugashack confirmed they're working on this. That alone doesn't guarantee you'll like it, but at least know somebody building this game has liked Quake for a long long time.

Its buggy, and if you blow up an explosive barrel with your rocket detonation it won't count toward your rocket challenge. I only did it by shooting at packs of the harmless zombies when i was going back through looking for secrets and weapon upgrades

Probably the easiest weapon bonus to unlock really, just find a pack of those fodder zombies and carefully fire a single missile into each one relatively quickly and it should unlock.

Kramjacks posted:Use Rich Get Richer and go ham with those mini-rockets. Got the challenge before getting that upgrade but that drat skill makes the game so fun in high difficulty levels. You can go wild on micromissiles and if you get haste you are basically one of the robots from Macross/Robotech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzXfVgYCxWI Linked because it's a compilation of anime missile spam (Itano Circus).

I'm not sure I like Rich Get Richer as a perk. It sort of disincentivises the aggressive play style every other mechanic in the game encourages. Like, you can rush in head long and rip and tear (and have a ton of fun), or you can just keep every monster at long range with Mobile Turret, Siege Cannon with unlimited ammo and a much lower chance of death. Sure, it's optimal play, but it's not fun.

Good thing is that you can change it on the fly. Sometimes I feel like playing as a mobile missile turret then sometimes I switch perks to be meleeing stuff. I think it's one of the few single player games that I like to jump between missions just for fun.

All SnapMap updates to Doom will be free, that's pretty cool.Bloodmobile posted:To be fair, apparently Saber Interactive had nothing to do with the multiplayer content of the Halo collection. The single-player portions of the remakes were entirely fine. The glue that held them together was hosed and they'd regularly throw you into the wrong game or delete your saves, actually. It was a shitshow for months. Probably more 343i's fault for not overseeing it though, they had like 4 devs doing different game ports and then just slapped the whole thing together last minute.

Adding the weapon wheel to SnapMap will totally transform it... so long as we get the key binding availability to match. Can't wait for that update.

Linguica posted:Geez, it's already marked down to $40? It really must not have hit their sales targets. I'm an idiot who has to have physical copies. When I was buying my copy of Doom there were seriously two other people in line trading it in talking about how much it sucks compared to Doom3. I bought it anyway and those people are wrong about games but I bet a lot of people thought it needed more call of dutyish features.

Is it possible to have multiple weapons on the same number key? I really want both shotguns to be tied to the 2 key and the plasma rifle/gauss rifle both tied to the 3 key etc. This way I can have weapons more easily within reach of the wasd keys.

Not that I know of which is really stupid. You could maybe do it using .cfg file shenanigans, effectively script each key to switch the key bindings when you push it. At least, you could do stuff like that in older Id games, dunno about Id Tech 6, but it does still have a console so probably?

The old-school solution to this is to move to esdf so you can use qwazx for weapons too.

In Doom/Quake/Unreal games, and almost no other FPSs, I somehow got in the habit of using shift/ctrl for forward/back with my two weaker fingers, and A/S for strafing with middle and index. Odd, but a comfy hand position (with keyboard rotated a bit) and leaves lots of keys open for binds I can hit with index or middle finger.

My good setup: 1 = shotgun 2 = plasma (stun only amirite) 3 = super shotgun 4 = machine gun for mini rockets 5 = rocket launcher z = BFG x = chaingun (never used in my game really) c = crouched (used what, 4 times in the entire game?) v = siege cannon b = pistol (used basically never) I had 1/shotgun out all of the time because the grenade launcher feature is amazing.

I use WASD, but I will never understand why that became the default. With your fingers on the home row, ESDF immediately stands out as the natural movement keys.
