Bethesda Says Doom Eternal Has No Deathmatch Mode Because It's 'Eons Old' - 18th March 17:00 GMT
Bethesda's Pete Hines said that the mode is "eons old", and that Bethesda and id Software didn't want to include deathmatch.
He said "The biggest problem we thought we had with Doom 2016 was that multiplayer wasn't done at id, and felt really disconnected from the base game that everybody loved.
Whether you're playing by yourself or with others, we want it to feel like you're all playing the same game.
That's as opposed to, ‘I'm a badass demon slayer in singleplayer, but when I go over to multiplayer, there are no demons, and it's just Deathmatch.’
I don't know what that has to do with Doom other than that, well, a couple of decades ago we had that, so we should just have that again.”
