Nope...and I'm ticked because I tried my Doom Beta Key several times and I'm getting the "The code you entered is either wrong or invalid. Please check it again"...or something like that on the PS4.

I pre-ordered and got the game but honestly cannot remember if I put the code in...thought I did...but I haven't got an invite. I did see one friend on my list playing but he's over in Europe (from Diablo).

I got a code for this weekend's Alpha the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

Looking forward to it, especially since this thread reminded me to redeem that code.

Big Generic Doom Image, Good Bad, I'm the Guy with the Gun
That's a horrible cover....so bloody generic. It needs to scream Doom, not Halo with a shotgun.

Cover looks like Halo to me too. I'll wait for reviews to see if I want to pick it up on release or wait.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)

Continuing the trend, pre-ordering Doom on XBox One will get you free copies of the original Doom as well as Doom II.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/02/...om-on-xbox-one

If you pre-order DOOM on Xbox One, you’ll be gifted free copies of the original DOOM and DOOM II.

Both DOOM and DOOM II are available on Xbox One as backward-compatible titles. Codes for the games are expected to arrive in the buyer’s Xbox Message Center within 7-10 days, and are redeemable on the Xbox website.
iD also said that the single player will be around 13 hours.

B is much better and looks more like the original games. Both are better then the shitty cover they used.

A doesn't work for me at all. B is excellent, but screams "remember the original game guys?! That was awesome and so are we!"

Both are infinitely better than the official cover art, though.

Yeah, B is a nice callback to the first game's art. Hopefully it wins. And did they only open voting on Twitter?

Jesus. The cover art posted has to be a placeholder, right? That's generic as fuck.

B on the twitter images rocks hard though. That's an awesome one. A sucks ass.

Yeah, "A" looks like an album cover for some shitty, generic metal band.

B is awesome. A is okay, it's better than the Doom: Master Chief Collection cover.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)

Totally playing us for the "new school" and "old school". I think they are truly trying to see who's going to be buying this game more. Us old guys are more than likely going to vote nostalgic and vote B because it reminds us (and me playing the original on my Packard Bell back in the day) of our youth.
Voting A seems more current and more Doom 3 like, reaching out to the younger crowd. I haven't cared enough to look but I would think to say there aren't a lot of original Doom programmers working on this one.
Doesn't really matter to me on the cover art overall. Doom, 13 hour campaign, sign me up. I won't be spending time looking at the cover once the shrink wrap is torn off.
