As some of you may know, there is a new Doom around the corner, coming May 13.

This weekend they gave everyone free access to the open beta for Doom's Multiplayer mode. Me being the nostalgic gamer that I am was wishing that the multiplayer would tie into the classic arena style multiplayer of which we've seen in Quake.

The harsh reality that I was actually met with did not appeal to me at all.

• XP progression system
• only holding 2 weapons at a time
• not to mention the Season pass being forced down our throats almost seeming as a necessity
  

these factors, although they might seem normal to todays gaming tropes. upset me on so many levels.

I know I sound like an old man when I say this but. back in my day, skill wasn't measured by level, it was measured on how much you knew the map and where all the good pickups were. you could hold one of every weapon in the game at once and use them whenever and of course there was no map/weapon DLC

I just hope that the singleplayer/co-op can redeem this beautiful monstrosity
