This summer, the free update with changes for Doom is set to be released.
The remake of the classic shooter has been available for about a month now and is already getting a few “problems” fixed. The campaign mode of the game is very well received by fans – the situation is somewhat different with Multiplayer. Compared to the campaign, there are more criticisms and improvement requests regarding this mode. The developers want to respond promptly.
Private Matches and an Improved Anti-Cheat System
No private games, no map vote function, and no way to customize a game to personal wishes – these are some of the criticisms fans have regarding the multiplayer mode. A major issue for PC players are the cheaters. To avoid them, fans are requesting a better anti-cheat system and private games where they can control who is allowed to play.
Eurogamer reports that Marty Stratton (executive producer and game director at Id Software) is planning changes to the multiplayer mode of Doom to make this mode more appealing to players. A free DLC is planned for this summer, which will allow players to create private matches with custom game settings.
Additionally, bots are planned for both standard multiplayer and SnapMap, multiplayer features specifically for SnapMap, and possibly even a server browser. They continue to take action against cheaters and punish or ban players caught cheating. To ensure continued new content, both free and paid DLCs are in the works. More information will likely be available at E3 – so we should stay tuned!
