DOOM multiplayer beta is over, and I feel like I've spent more time with it than any other test of this type.
When I first saw the DOOM reboot trailers, I had mixed feelings. I quite adored DOOM 3, with its shift to atmospheric first-person survival horror, but the reviews were certainly mixed. I recall some decrying the relatively slow pacing and over-reliance on "Monster Closet" jump scares, and there's every chance id Software had that in mind when developing this all-new, action-packed reboot.

For Bethesda's DOOM, id Software appears to have gone back to basics, delivering an in-your-face action FPS that emulates the speed of the original games while ramping up the violence that gave the series its notoriety.
