Sniping or even taking time to aim is just not what you do in Doom. I can see how this would throw a wrench into traditional Doom game play. Yes these are elements in BD and yes they are shared with CoD, but they do not by even the slightest margins make Brutal Doom even remotely similar to Modern Warfare and its ilk. So how does BD make Doom more like Call of Duty according to the various complaints i have read online? They are as follows: Iron Sights, use of cover, and use of reloading. Which is odd considering there was a time where just about the only game i played were FPS’s. It had been years since i popped in Killzone 2, or Halo, or how any Call of Duty Battlefront/Field failed to get me even remotely excited. Totalbiscuit has done a number of videos ranting and raving about how shooters are shit nowadays, and while i’m not as angry or bitter about things i’m certainly as disenfranchised with them as he is. This point of contention is the biggest one that shows how much shooters have changed in the past 15 or so years (i will say Halo: Combat Evolved was where i noticed a distinct shift to the modern formula but i’m sure it was earlier, i will let more interested people argue that), and really not for the best. Everybody is entitled to an opinion but I’m gonna take a look at some of these complaints and see if they hold water for me at least. Which also by and large reflects on the state of 1st person shooters and how i had almost completely lost interest in the genre until i powered up BD v19 and how it made me believe again.įor starters i was genuinely shocked that there were naysayers to BD to begin with, people saying that it wasn’t actually DOOM anymore, or that it made it like Call of Duty, or that the gore levels were just over the top.

The trailer above for Brutal Doom V20 came out a bit ago, and other than it looks awesome i figure i might take the time and look at some of the criticisms levelled at BD. This is a bit of a long one, in fact i’m surprised it is this long.
