[360] Doom on XBLA Arcade!

Hmm, isn't this pretty much like the Doom port for the XBox that came with Doom 3: Collector's edition and Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil?. I think I'll just go with Skulltag and ZDaemon for my classic Doom mulitplayer needs.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've had the game on PC for years, played it countless times, so why pay $10 for a game I already have and played tons of times. Multiplayer maybe, but I'm sure it can't be more fun than any new game.

For about 10 bucks, you can get the Doom Collector's Edition at Walmart or Target and not only will you get Ultimate Doom, but you will get Doom 2 and Final Doom. So let's see, that's about 96 levels with Doom 2 and both iwads from Final Doom (Evilution and the Plutonia Project) combined and then add the 4 episodes from Doom which have 9 levels each episode. So that's about 133 maps in all.

Oh and don't forget source ports! ZDoom is probably the most popular choice since it has alot of really cool mods and TC's like Action Doom and Super Sonic Doom. As for multiplayer stuff, Skulltag and ZDaemon are awesome. Skulltag has new weapons, new game modes, new maps, and bots. ZDaemon is fun too, but there's more European servers than US servers, at least as far as I could tell. Also, there are more people playing on ZDaemon. If you want to play Doom in glorified 3D and with hardware acceleration, you can either play in JDoom or Risen 3D.

So what was the point of this? Well, if you don't want to pay 10 bucks just for Doom, you can just head over to Walmart or Target or some other place and pay about 10 bucks for the Doom Collector's Edition and get Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom and then get a source port and play Doom with all the cool enhancements and bells and whistles!

Most amazing jew boots

I hate E4 too. It's so annoying how little ammo and health you get at the start of E4M1.

It's a shame alot of the maps in Doom are crappy for deathmatch. Like Kaleb G. said, the maps are usually too big for deathmatch. E1M1 is the only map that I like playing in DM. I wonder if Doom 2 will be going on XBLA.

So what's the maxplayerlimit for DM again? 4? Shit, too bad they couldn't raise it up to at least 8 or even 12 (16 may be a bit too much for some of these levels, even the bigger levels)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
