I personally like that all robot masters are on the same ground.  That way, people can play as their favorite one without having to worry about being over/underpowered.

I saw this in the bugs section and forgot to bring it up here, but since I've gotten better at this game, I no longer find the Thunder Beam too weak.  It was my aim that sucked.  I think I might get more kills with that then any other weapon now!

I recorded two videos as well.  The first is single player gameplay.  The other is an idea I thought was interesting while I was watching a match in spectator mode.

Windows Movie Maker also cuts quality so bad.. I use Expression Encoder, to reduce file sizes, if you're using fraps like I am, then on Expression Encoder set to "Best Quality" and WMV file to Xbox360 1080p for no quality lost and your youtube videos will be 1080p HD !!

I'm not using fraps, I'm using a free fraps-like recorder.  I need to edit my videos and add a few effects using Windows movie maker, unless there's a better FREE alternative.

Are you sure you're delivering the finishing shot?

Yes, the message bar at the top has the "so and so was _____ by Mr. X's ______", but it doesn't appear in the center of the screen.  I tried the message settings but none of them seem to fix it.  Also, I never even touched the message settings when they disappeared.  They just stopped appearing in the middle of a match.

EDIT:  It just started working again suddenly.

About the camping issue, I almost like it when people camp up there.  I just use Gemini Laser and usually get about 2 easy kills.

Ok, I've got a question.  All of the sudden, when I kill somebody, the "You fragged _____" message doesn't appear in the center of the screen.  However, it does appear when I get killed.  I've tried playing with the settings and can't seem to get it to reappear.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thunder Beam kills in three shots.  Magnet Missile is more of a sniper weapon.  I will agree with the ammo consumption statement though.  It also doesn't work very reliably in Team Deathmatch :P

Yeah, after watching a video, I realized the thunder beam is better than I thought.  It's my poor aiming that makes me hate it.

I saw that this had been released on The Mega Man Network and decided to try it out.  I've never played Doom and I hate first person shooters, but wow.  This is an absolutely phenomenal game.  The action is great, the weapons behave exactly as you'd expect, and the completely customizable controls are all huge pluses.  Also, from my experience, the online matches are nearly lag free.  However, there are a few minor issues I have.

It seems to me that some of the weapons are underpowered, mainly magnet missile and thunder beam.  Thunder beam just seems to not do enough damage to make it effective, and magnet missiles don't home in well and drain weapon energy like there's no tomorrow.  Also, is there a way to have a free-for-all online matches?  Every match I get in is a team deathmatch, which gets a bit old after a while.

Finally, for single player, the difficulty jumps up far to quickly.  I can beat the Cut Man stage with my eyes closed, but Metal Man's stage I absolutely cannot beat.  It seems like the AI gangs up on me.

Other than those issues, outstanding game.  It's hard to believe that the demo is only the beginning.

P.S. - I forgot to mention there might have been a glitch while I was playing earlier where we ended up in a test map.  I think the topic creator was actually in that match.
