DOOM fans have waited a long time for this exciting new adventure in the series and coming soon is the also long awaited Alpha testing, so head over to the Doom website and sign up for what is bound to be an epic blood bath of crazy shoot’em up fun if you pre-ordered Wolfenstein: The New Order.
The Doom multiplayer Alpha is mainly designed to stress test the servers and will only be running in English.
This is not the Beta that many would have received access to when making the pre-order or purchase of Wolfenstein: The New Order on or before May 26 2014, but instead this is the Alpha testing which your code also grants you access too.
Register at the Doom website with the code you would have received when making the Wolfenstein pre-order or purchase and follow the prompts for enrolling for PC, Xbox One or PlayStation 4.
Here are some of the features you can look forward to:
One Map: Heatwave
The Alpha will feature 1 multiplayer map: Heatwave. This industrial-themed map will place players in an arena setting featuring plenty of armor, ammo, and health pickups. Narrow corridors, walkways and small chambers all link to a central, open area of the map, providing players with a variety of environments that suit varying playstyles, as well as the focus point for fighting over key power-ups.
One Mode: 6v6 Team Deathmatch
Welcome to the core of DOOM’s arena-style multiplayer combat. In this mode, two teams of 6 players will try to dominate each other by fighting over the Revenant and Gauss Rifle power-ups, which provide devastating firepower that can turn the tide or ensure victory.
One Demon: Revenant
Being the first player to the Demon Rune will transform you into the powerful Revenant. Use your jetpack and dual rocket launchers to hunt down the other team for a limited time to either secure your team’s lead or mount a comeback.
One Power Weapon: Gauss Cannon
Available as a counter to the Revenant, this high-powered weapon destroys opponents in one blast. Use the alternate fire to see your targets through walls, but be warned, there is a limited number of shots, so use it to take down the demon rather than enemy players. Once you’re out of ammo, you have to wait for it to appear on the map again.
6 Weapons, 2 Equipment Items
The Closed Alpha will feature a limited arsenal of weapons and items featured in the complete game. They can be used both in standard and customizable loadouts.
