The game does have lore. Although it wants you to think that the story is not the focus, the 2016 incarnation of the Doomguy is the most fleshed out character out of all the Doomguys, and the story is just half-assed and entertaining enough to hold the game together. It is also better (much better) than the Doom 3 story, hilariously. So, that is also subject to discussion in the thread.

I do love the characterization of the Doomguy in this. He's violent and pragmatic but he does have a few humanizing moments. He just has absolutely no patience for any of Sam's poo poo.

drat you've got some speed in this game.

The default movement speed is a run, you can press a button to walk. That said I do think he's got his FOV turned up pretty high so there's some fisheye going on that makes it look like he's moving faster than he is.

I don't think they explain it any further than what we already know: it's a wave of demonic energy that kills most people and transforms some of them. I stopped reading the codex entries halfway through the game, so I could be wrong :v:

Well.. Sort of, It's more that it was designed to work that way because Olivia. I'm pretty sure her own secret hell-lab is called Lazarus Labs. That said the later codex entries are pretty great, as they go into the inner workings of exactly how UAC functions and how it treats it's employees.

The plasma gun is fine, and the heat vent is a nice secondary. Unfortunately it shares it's ammo pool with another weapon.

SIEGE MODE

Here's a question: At first, Hayden had to contact the Doom Marine through computer screens and such. At what exact point did he get the standard patch-through to a helmet radio? I don't even remember!

Around the time VEGA hacked your suit to start giving you combat objectives.

Alternately he's an egotistical Jerkass and seeks to maximize your annoyance in his every encounter.

There are separate drops for each ammo type

Some guns share ammo types, however.

There were probably better choices.

There are. Rich Get Richer and the one that gives Armor on Glory Kills. Then Siege Mode.

One thing that's good about siege mode, the energy field around it does damage independent of the bolt, a direct hit on a pinkie with siege mode won't kill it because the bolt dissipates, but a near miss will because you shred him with the field across the entire length of travel and the field ignores armor hit locations.

I don't know, I just assumed that since there are three of them, and nobody liked the multiplayer, there had to be some single player content :v:

There isn't, and there isn't going to be, all three of them are multiplayer packs.

Having a pentagram in the spectrogram was totally intentional, and most games couldn't get away with it.

Also why most people call it SuMo instead.
