Cool map designs, appealing gib+gore system, awesome bullet time system that allows you to mow down your enemies with surgical precision. In depth enemy mechanics that go beyond "bigger enemy has more health and does more damage" and challenge you to think about how you engage each enemy, and multiple groups of enemies at the same time.
A few negatives are the long grind to max level perks, lack of single player content (which the original mod had) and the relative repetitiveness of gameplay. I think anyone who is interested in the survival horror genre will enjoy this gem of the 2000's, as any game of the genre is relatively repetitive and unrewarding other than the thrill of surviving itself.

Get this game if you like having 15-30 fps no matter how good your hardware is

An excellent port of the classic Halo series to PC. Very intuitive settings and configurations, and awesome cross-platform play. The only negative things about this game are the reworking of the credit system - you no longer pick which items you want to spend your hard earned CR on, instead you get a point every time you level up, going along a set path. Another negative thing about this game is that you do not really have access to all of the Halo games yet, only Reach. I'm assuming the rest will become playable over a staggered period of time. Aside from those 2 negative points, this game feels, and looks awesome to play on PC, and is certainly worth the price, even if you can't play all the games yet.

Absolute Trash Game, Infested with hackers, Takes no skill or even a brain cell. It's just a game for Special-Eds who literally do nothing but play Counter Strike, or just go on there to hack because of how easy and cheap it is. The community is so toxic that it would never kick even a blatant hacker. The game has no transferrable or applicable skills to/from any other games. In this game weapon mechanics are so far from what any other FPS is like or what reality is like that I just laugh when someone thinks they are good at Counter Strike. It is nothing but a muscle memory for autistic savant Types. Only play if you want to become mentally Ill.

Maps are all the same with different assets, Completely pay to win, Infested with ESP and No Recoil Hackers. It seems like the developers of this game did not care to balance it.

This game is purely for entertainment (I enjoy how unbalanced it is) Its a CHEAP, RUSHED copy of Combat Arms. The chinese developers of this game probably do not care at ALL about the game and are just trying to profit off the wallets of Americans who love instant gratification.

I would recommend this DLC to anyone who enjoys playing multiplayer relatively often, it includes a plethora of customizables, the Cacodemon, a new weapon, and several muliplayer.

The armor appearances, colors, and patterns you get from the DLC are, in my opinion, the coolest of any DLC, and the Cacodemon, while requiring more skill than other demons, such as the Baron or Revenant, is fun to play.

I think the price tag is a little high, but justified. The game already includes a full length singleplayer, amazing multiplayer, and open source map creator, and I think the high price of DLC is a way to offset the cost of making such amazing, polished content.

If you enjoy playing multiplayer alot, and only want to buy one of the DLC's, buy this one.

Pretty Cool

RE: Lost all ingame sound, cannot get it back. Do not buy this game, I'd rather pay to have my balls crushed by a dumptruck keep troubleshooting this.

TL;DR : Multiplayer that makes COD look like child's play, Singleplayer that is riveting and bad-ass, and a Map creator that allows you to use all assests in the game to create anything you want. Would recommend to anyone. Able to run multiplayer flawlessly on a GTX 540.

This is one of my new favourite games. The multiplayer is VERY, VERY, fun. It is extremely fast paced and gung-ho, and doesn't take long at all to learn how to play effectively once you learn that you have to be constantly moving and picking up health and ammo. Anyone who dislikes this multiplayer is probably just bad at the game and FPS in general. Any FPS lover, or DOOM 1 player will LOVE this game. Who doesn't like running around as a gigantic, hellish demon ripping peoples heads off, or finding the famed BFG-9000 and one shotting people into oblivion?

While I have not finished the campaign completely yet, and am not much of a fan of singleplayer, it is so far very immersive, and extremely bad-ass, just like the original creators of doom intended. Weapon and armor upgrades encourage you to stray from the beaten path, and some encounters with demons are actually suprisingly challenging. The maps in the campaign and multiplayer are vertically designed, encouraging you to keep moving and shooting, as there is no forms of cover in singleplayer.

I want to note the fact that ID Studios has optimized graphically so exstensively, that I am able to get 45+ FPS on a GTX 540, and It only dips a little bit on the most graphically complicated maps, but most of them are relatively simple. The extremely good graphics gives you even more of an immersive experience into the lovecraftian, hellish world of DOOM.

While I got the game at a 67% discount I would not object to paying the full $80. The amount of work put into this game is extremely evident, the optimization of graphics, inclusion of a map builder that is wholly open source, a singleplayer with a riveting and bad-ass story, and a multiplayer mode that makes Call of Duty look like child's play.

When you pay 80$ for a Bethesda game, you get everything you paid for. If you buy it on the sale, it's an absolute steal.

This game seems to fall short of the standards set by the original Dark Souls, the games management team was switched up and I believe this is the reason for it. Although it is still fun and engaging, it doesn't deserve the title of Dark Souls

I've not defeated the last boss yet after 50 hours and multitudes of attempts. This game is as challenging as it says; more so than its predecessors. This is an absolute must buy for anyone who enjoyed the original Dark Souls. It is absolutely oozing with nostalgia and i'm not going to lie it brought tears to my eyes a few times. Excellent playability and replayability, fun and rewarding multiplayer, and man, the art team at From Software really killed it this time. The only downside is that it takes quite a powerful gpu to run, but even with my GTX580 it is still playable. (If you didn't like Dark Souls 2, don't worry, this makes up for it!)
