I don't have much time at the moment, but I have played four matches.  That was enough of a taste for me, but I may still mess around if I have free time over the weekend.

I didn't play much DOOM in my younger years, but I have some memories of the original game.  This new DOOM feels like how I remember the old game playing.  It was fast, no reload button and in fact the control scheme is very simplistic compared to modern shooters.  Every important button is mapped to the shoulders and only jump and crouch are on the face buttons.  Which means that primary and secondary fire, weapon swap and grenade are mapped to the shoulder buttons and melee is R3.  In fact, two of the face buttons are left empty....

The game was running quick and silky smooth.  If my memory serves me right, my character felt like he was in sprint mode with how quickly I was able to move around the map and aim and kill.

The weapons were pretty standard fair from what I remember of DOOM, a plasma rifle, assault rifle, rocket launcher, super shotgun but I did not see a BFG during any of my matches.  I know it has to be in the game, but maybe not in multiplayer.

that is all i have for the moment, quick impressions.  i may come back if I get some more time and anything else stands out.
