Complete leagues ahead of CoD and BF sp! Obviously depending on taste and I'm a little biased (can't remember the last CoD campaign that wasn't ****e!). There's a little exploration and some levelling up of weapons etc, but mostly you follow the waypoints and shoot everything that moves. It looks and runs great and speed and movement is superb. It's a twitch shooter through and through and much of the fun depends on what that means to you. If the thought of trying to pull of mid air, double jump spinning headshots appeals - this is the game for you.

First thing I did when I started this game was increase the mouse sensitivity. It just didn't feel right the way I normally have it in other games due to the pace.
Usually have a full flick of the wrist to be ~180 degrees but felt it needed to be nearly ~360 degrees in this.
Actually prefer this now and starting to change other games to similar

The mouse settings out the box are messed up :| advanced cvar settings can fix it apparently though I've not got around to trying yet.

Gaah, DOOM deprived me of sleep during the weekend - I just couldn't stop playing it, haha! But seriously, what a game - id Software have totally exceeded my expectations and delivered the reboot of reboots!
I'm seriously impressed by how well optimised it is, too - as I was expecting to have to dial the settings down a little, but nope - nearly everything is set to 'Ultra' and it's running sweet as a nut on my gaming laptop with a GTX970m. .

I got a link with game code number from OCUK after buying an Asus Z170M Plus motherboard and today's the day I can redeem except when I click on the link on this page it pretty much refreshes and I am back at the start.
What am I missing? Would like to mention that the mobo is registered as you c
get nagged to do that once mobo drivers are installed.

Has anyone redeemed the code from OCUK yet, if so how?

Think I might get a refund the mouse acceleration makes it unplayable for me.
EDIT: Turning m_smoothing on and upping the samples (m_smooth) a bit then increasing sensitivity seems to offset the acceleration a bit though adds a tiny bit of lag but its a bit easier to deal with than the acceleration :S

I think the biggest travesty with this game is that it could have very easily had a Q3A style twitch MP mode, and then it would have been perfect.
Most of the level design (Argent tower core for example) would make brilliant MP maps.
Don't need any of these silly loadouts or perks etc. Just sprinkle some weapons and power ups and let people go nuts.

Doesn't do anything - m_smooth 0 is an invalid setting - m_smooth 1 or higher sets how many samples are used to smooth mouse input which is toggled on and off with m_smoothing 1/0. Was doing my head in before I worked it out as settings m_smooth to 0 was causing it to reset to 1.
With my mouse/setup I'm actually having to set smoothing on with silly settings to damp the built in mouse acceleration
still not perfect but a bit more playable.

Crashes immediately to desktop sometimes? (3 in around 6 hours played)
FYI, running 365.19 on a 970GTX.I dont think it will so long as tge level design stays good and action is fast and challenging.
Do monsters fight between themselves?
I strongly urge everyone to download brutal doom and play the freedoom phase 2 episode. I was recommended it by someone on here and its fantastic. Great level design, speed, sound fx and music. Yes, the graphics are not Doom 4 standards but it doesnt matter when you start playing.
