Instead, this modern day DOOM’s multiplayer is an attempt to make the great FPS compromise. Even the game’s Steam page promises the “Return of id Multiplayer” and “ DOOM’s signature, fast-paced arena-style combat.” Most of the time, such expectations are usually the result of longtime fans who hyped themselves up too much, but in this case it’s id Software and Bethesda that are responsible for most of the hype.


A cursory glance over the negative reviews of the beta reveals that the most common complaint stems from the multiplayer’s supposed “identity crisis.” Simply put, there are many users who say that this game is simply not the DOOM they know and love. At the moment, the DOOM multiplayer beta is sitting with a “Mostly Negative” rating on Steam from almost 12,000 user reviews.
