There are lots of goodies coming for Doom within the next week. First, Update 2 releases tomorrow with some new free content, then on August 5, the multiplayer expansion Unto the Evil will be unleashed upon the world.
In tomorrow's update, players will get two new multiplayer maps. Sector is a map for capture and hold mode, while Exodus is a map for One-Flag CTF mode. In addition, new Snapmap modifications have been added, including weapon wheel, jump pads and Hell modules.
Update 2's release will coincide with the launch of a Double XP weekend, which will end on July 31.
As for Unto the Evil, it will include:
- Three new multiplayer maps: Offering, Cataclysm, and Ritual
- A new player-controlled demon: Harvester
- A new weapon: UAC EMG Pistol
- New equipment: Kinetic Mine
- New ways to customize your DOOM Marine, including additional armor sets, patterns, colors, and taunts

Did anyone start?

Still? No.

no SP content :/

But it adds the ability to have more than two weapons in Snapmap via the Weapon Wheel, also it will add bits of hell that can be snapped in.
I guess migrating more of the Single Player... everything to Snapmap is a process, and I'm just happy that at least one step was taken, because it running off of the crap Multiplayer weapon/player/etc code was a shame.

Was the Doom reboot considered a flop? Just checking out some sales figures on VHChartz, about 1.53 million:
http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=doom+%282016%29&publisher=192&platform=&genre=&minSales=0&results=200
Now those figures are from June 25th (over a month ago) but looking at the weekly sales, it dropped pretty sharply after the first 2-3 weeks on all platforms. I was really surprised by the super low PC sales (~120,000).
I've only played a bit of the demo (on PS4; by far its biggest sales platform).

This shows just shy of 1million on PC alone? -

Ok that's good to know and sucky at the same time. I should have known this as record sales have the same issues (physical VS. hard to come by digital sales)

Steam spy has it at almost 1 million for steam alone: http://steamspy.com/app/379720

it sold WAAAYYYY more than that on PC. the problem is, DD outfits are vague if not downright shutlipped about sales, and the publisher/developers have no interest or benefit in releasing those numbers usually.
people ALWAYS underestimate how much shit sales on PC through steam and other DD. i see it all the time even on this website where people should know better. the evidence is in the fact that almost every single game that isnt a platform exclusive these days gets a PC version, and for several years we have been getting actual GOOD pc versions, not just shitty ports.-

Exactly. We still get turd ports *cough* WB *cough*, but way more often than not, there's a PC port for multiplatform games. That definitely wasn't the case a few years ago.

I'm waiting for the price to hit $10-$15 on PS4. Not because I don't think it's worth more than that, but because 1) I have a huge backlog and 2) the price of Wolfenstein came down really fast, so I figure Doom will do the same (it's already $30 on Amazon).

Yeah but now they've successfully relaunched that franchise and can do expansions and sequels.

I had fun with the mp but putting additional maps into dlc isn't going to do this game any favors.
-

Unless I miss my guess, that's not his point. Multiplayer is far and away Doom's weakest component. Single-player DLC will do more good for sales and longevity than any multiplayer content.

I want this one.

I'm assuming they'll eventually do an expansion like they did with Wolf:The New Blood
