Rocket Man?!?! Using that in the preview is an ode to noobs. Chaingun for the win.

Doom 3 took me ages to finish, but I don't rush through games like some people who just like to brag on forums they finished it in two hours so never see the whole game! For Doom 3 I've seen anywhere from 10 to 15 hours for just the main game and 30+ hours if you like to be a completionist, so I fall into the 30+ hours, so if it's as long as that i'll be happy, if not then wait for a sale!!

I'm excited for 13+ hours. If they are focusing on multiplayer like they say they are it is nice to see them still have a decent FPS story. I'm getting tired of the 5-8 hour campaigns in Battlefield and COD

I'm glad they're putting a good amount of single player into it; I'll definitely be buying this. That trailer is... weird? I actually think the song could have worked quite well if a) the combat pace matched the song and b) it showcased the rocket launcher capabilities. Maybe they were going for a little humor with the juxtaposition in game/song cadence, but given that this art seems to be long forgotten, I don't think so. If the video was, instead, a series of slowed-down vignettes of various rocket launcher kills (and rocket jumping if that's a feature), it would have scored a lot more points with me. I mean, really, that actually sounds so entertaining that I'm tempted to make my own Rocket Man trailer for some version of Doom paced properly just because it would be cool.

Maybe this will actually get me to stop playing Borderlands 2 for a while, although being limited to what appears to be the equivalent of a Vladof launcher with enough Torgue parts to put the brakes on the rocket speed/fire rate as my only launcher option (like a Ruthless Hero or something)... it'll still be fun for a slower change of pace.

The game it self looks soooo soooo good.

But with the recent news that on PC it will have the following issues....

1) hard locked 60fps (like previous ID games)

2) No SLI/Crossfire support (like previous ID games)

3) No high refresh rate support locked again at 60Hz

4) And the last nail in the coffin... the game is meant to detect your hardware and configure what it thinks is the graphics settings for your system!! NO GRAPHICS OPTIONS MENU!!!

Hopefully these are just problems in the alpha build, however I have cancelled my preorder for the game until I hear otherwise.
