I'm not sure how many of you guys play multiplayer regularly, or would if you could. I know timezones and large pings makes it uninteresting to some of you. But suppose you did have the freedom to play multiplayer. Do you know what you would like? Do you wish you had the opportunity to play more multiplayer stuff? Suppose Doom multiplayer was more accessible to you. What would you prefer to play? Below is my list of preferred Doom multiplayer gamemodes. What's yours?
CTF Survival Coop Cooperative Deathmatch Team Deathmatch Duel Last Man Standing (Anything that requires a gameplay mod is equally lowest priority)

Survival is obviously my favorite. It's like playing FDA style but dying doesn't necessarily mean you have to go through everything again. It's fun to spy other players and cheer for them, and even more fun to be the last remaining player and have everyone's attention. The chat is usually pleasant too, and even people who are still alive have many opportunities to make some jokes and stuff.
I feel like I never learned to fully enjoy any mode where you have to shoot other players. I think it might be because I simply don't hit the targets often enough. Running speed is one of Doom's defining features and it's awesome, but that's mainly because the monsters are much slower than you and so you have a lot of control. But when your enemies are given the same speed, it can be quite ridiculous and frustrating to be honest. Also the chat is usually rather depressing in these modes: "gg"s between the levels, an occasional insult, that's about it. It just doesn't look like people are having a good time. I'm sure that's just an illusion and they are simply too busy shooting each other to write anything, but it's still a problem for me. It would be nice to play FFA with a bunch of players all sitting in the same room, shouting loudly and stuff. That would definitely make it much more enjoyable.
If I had to rate these modes, I would put them like this I guess: FFA > Duel > CTF. FFA is the best because at least there is a lot of players running around, so I have a higher chance of killing someone. Even just shooting some rockets in random spots can work. And CTF is the worst because I don't understand the tactics at all, can't accomplish much, and feel useless for the team. In other modes at least I'm only responsible for my own success and nobody can blame me if things go wrong. Responsibility is scary.
I'd say Coop pretty much died when Survival was invented, although occasionally it can be fun to get through a ridiculous slaughter wad without worrying about dying. Again, it depends a lot on whether you have a good company.

I keep hearing this term thrown around in the last few months. What does this even mean?

It's a game mode, or even a genre now. In a nutshell it's played on a very large map and the players start with nothing and must search for weapons, health, armor and powerups which are all randomly placed. The playble area shrinks as the time passes and the last player alive wins. Since the last year it became a popular trend in videogames.

gaspe explained it all. It became so popular recently that it was turned into sort of a meme. Hence, I said it as a joke.

I think the battle royale was born as a variation of last man standing, the core is the same but it plays very differently. The maps are very large, like an actual island, with hills, woods and there are lots of small villages scattered around. Everything is generated randomly.

For me its Duel>CTF>TDM>FFA was never much fun of singleplayer so i am not really coop player, but survival can be fun sometime. Personaly i think CTF was best mode coded for doom 2. Its new school oriented and works really well and there is tons of maps for this mode.

It means you’re killing independent gaspe. Or he needs some serenity now. Or it means that the answer is so obvious and he wanted to Larry David ya

But does Battle Royale exist in Doom? No it doesn't. You could technically do things in Doom to simulate the style, such as a large island map with rising lava that floods everything, pushing everyone towards the middle. I can't imagine it would play very well though. Historically, it's been proven that searching for equipment and other players in a fast paced game like Doom is not very fun. Ideally you want the players to start close to the action and have weapons accessible right away. Pistol combat is always boring. It's much better to play Doom in the way it was optimized for than try to squeeze it into this new genre that isn't very compatible with it.

I thought the whole deal with these old shooters was finding weapons and timing items like Rain Man or whatever the fuck, which is why everyone threw a fit over 4's loadouts. I'm also pretty sure those historical issues are just malfunctions of expected deathmatch play and wouldn't directly translate to battle royale, the same way they wouldn't directly translate to coop or ctf. Besides, if you'd take the effort to create a game mode mod I'd imagine you'd make the concessions necessary for it to play well.
