Update 2, Unto the Evil, PartyPlay, & Double XP Weekend!

28 July - jleaveyBethesda

We've got a lot of news to share with you this morning, so let's get right to it.

DOOM's Free Update 2 launches tomorrow, July 29! The free update kicks off with two new multiplayer modes, Sector and Exodus. Sector is a capture and hold mode while Exodus brings capture the flag to DOOM. We're also adding Hell modules and environments to DOOM SnapMap, plus new objects like Launch Pads, and last but not least, the campaign weapon wheel comes to SnapMap! And of course, the update will include tons of optimizations and improvements. Look for full release notes when the patch goes live tomorrow.

Unto the Evil, DOOM's first DLC, launches August 5! We're thrilled to announce that our first premium multiplayer DLC will launch on August 5. The DLC includes three new multiplayer maps (Cataclysm, Ritual, and Offering), the new UAC EMG Pistol, and the new playable demon, "The Harvester." We're also introducing a new feature called PartyPlay. Want to play the DLC maps, but don't own Unto the Evil or the Season Pass? Party up with another player who has purchased the DLC, and you can play the new maps! If a DLC map comes up as part of the rotation, you and your party can play just as you have with the game's original multiplayers maps. Conversely, if you have purchased the premium DLC pack, anyone in your party can play any of the maps from the DLC as long as they’re with you.

Double XP Weekend kicks off July 29! To celebrate the release of Update 2, we're launching our first Double XP Weekend. Level up all weekend long while playing our two new multiplayer modes.

To read all about today's announcements, including additional details, be sure to read a note written by Executive Producer Marty Stratton on https://bethesda.net/#en/events/game/doom-big-updates-new-content-and-partyplay/2016/07/28/160

Note: The deployment of Update 2 will require a maintenance, scheduled for approximate 12pm ET on July 29. We anticipate the maintenance will end approximately at 2pm ET. We'll be sure to update you when our multiplayer and SnapMap servers are down for maintenance.

I think at this point, nobody should ever trust a season pass.

And my brother thought there was going to be singleplayer DLC.

"nobody on here really cares about your problems..."

This is not true.....I do care about everyones problems........and for 3 easy payments of 19.95.....

Geeze you guys need to stop whining. Switch Steam to offline mode and play your single player..and avoid the MP download.
And if limited bandwidth is your real complaint then get a job and upgrade your internet.
Steam really ought to start deleting threads that are being used to just complain.
It's not Bethesda's fault your bandwidth is limited, or slow, or even that your don't play MP...and you feel that it is...whine to Bethesda...Steam can't help you with your problems...and nobody on here really cares about your problems...

It seems a bad choice to focus all the subsequent release efforts around multiplayer when it is not the driving interest behind this game. I bet co-op would be more popular, with a great drop in drop out easy peasy system,

Like he said, 12 gb is a heavy blow for those withlimited bandwidth and no insterest in deathmatch. I just want to play now, not later today or whenever.

On this off topic thing, there are many simliarities between this, Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Like menu system and level design and layout.

@coolferret32 You're comparing a fast-paced run-and-gun shoot 'em up FPS to a poorly executed open-world RPG-esque FPS? What have you been smoking today? Seriously, please, tell us so that we can all avoid it's stupid-making side affects.

Why in the dusty fuck do I have to download a 12GB multiplayer only patch when I don't play this shit multiplayer.

Give us some options Bethesda holy shit the game is already over 50GB.

Wanted to play some DOOM on my day off, and now I need to fuck with a 5 hour download. Awesome.

@coolferret32 How does one compare an open-world RPG series about making choices in a post-apocalypse to an arena-style FPS series where your main goal is to kill demons and other players on Mars and in Hell?

coolferret32 30 Jul @ 3:23pm

Why is DOOM 4 so different from Fallout 4? What about quick save? And a better navigating icon? And play at your own pace, gathering stuff and sleeping when u want to? This game is more frustration than fun. I want my money back.

Plz make some SINGLE PLAYER Expansion.

DaMoot 30 Jul @ 12:03pm

@Ivan S I live in a small rural US town of about 10k people and have 300/300Mbit fibre for $40/mo with no caps, no limits. Before that, we had 50/2Mbit for the same price, and then 100/100 same price.

That's not silver spoon, dude, that's the reality of cheap infrastructure in the modern world.
