Actually, Marauder is the worst pick in Battlemode. His SSG does ridiculously small damage even up close, his axe can be avoided... at least he is agile and can summon a wolf. You can't use shield like campaign Marauders. If you want any chance at winning, Archvile is the 5h1t. But seriously, I am better off as Revenant or Mancubus than Marauder.

You're looking at the Marauder wrong.

His hitbox is the smallest of all demons and he's very fast. His wolf and axe both deal respectable damage and he's capable of dealing fairly reliable damage too. Archvile is also very good, but the Revenant is questionable(try playing against a good Slayer, you'll get put into a corner with a single rail) and the Mancubus is downright useless against a good player. The Mancubus deals intense damage, but needs to be really close. He has no means of closing that gap. Even if you stick together a good Slayer will just rail your ally first, then finish you off in an unwinnable 1v1.

Quake Champions =/= Doom Eternal

Stop compare them

It's not a comparison. You want TDM, don't play Eternal. Simple logic.

It's not same gameplay... simple logic. TDM with Doom Eternal gameplay would be awesome, i already played Quake Champions and Quake 3 Arena nor Quake Live was way better in any points. They are not Doom any way

I totally agree this Battle mode is unbalanced and silly we need a TDM online mode to have a real competition between player skills instead of messing around with crappy demon summoning and weird mechanics.

The slayer is very underpowered. the demons respawn in 20 seconds which granted is alot of time but all they have to do is hide and if its a revenant then your never going to win. i had a game where the demons won a comeback because of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage net code and and vanishing off the face of the earth for 20 seconds. Its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[lol no]

Slayer has turned into a quickswitch circlejerk: He is braindead now as all his other priorities have been shafted for the almighty numberkey presses.

Why does battlemode suck? Let me put it this way, nobody plays DOOM to hop around as a pathetic demon.

Want proof? 3.1% of Doom Eternal Players unlocked the "Mix and Match" achievement:
*Play as 5 different Player Demons in BATTLEMODE*

2.6% of Doom Eternal Players unlocked the "Man vs Monsters" achievement:
*Play 25 BATTLEMODE matches*

The majority of steam battlemode players didn't even bother to try out every playable demon, and under 3% even made it to 25 games.

and you're gonna tell me its anywhere near as rewarding, balanced, or engaging as traditional arena deathmatch?

If "Doom Eternal: BattleMode" hit the shelves as a standalone game, nobody would play it.

my god people keep complaining about battlemode even to the point of twitter its now practicly just beating a dead horse just accept that the Devs are not gonna make TDM Hugo already stated that hes not gonna put DM because of QC(which is meh) the only possible thing to see is a modder making a "deathmatch" mode. If tdm or dm was gonna be made in doom eternal alot of things have to be changed and removed, remove ice, bomb gernades, remove meathook, change the weapon damage alot lower, make the ballista a super weapon, nerf quickswitching and etc. its been like what 6-7 months already since the game came out ? yeah its just hopeless to ask for a traditional deathmatch at this point

[lol no]
