Cheating nonetheless, the top player being "Todd Howard" is funny as hell

7:11 "Put it on your fuckin' baby, I don't care" I fucking love this line for some reason.

I played the horde mode on the weekend and it was tough fighting a Marauder without the super shotgun in the early stages

Can't believe Todd Howard actually leads number 1 on the leaderboards, by that many points too. What a absolute unit.

What I wouldn't give for the ability to swap grenades during a glory kill animations.

The only other thing I'd love to see randomized are the arenas, while keeping a similar wave structure. That said, if they're gonna add new encounters, they shouldn't delete the past ones, but rather just add them into another randomization system where it cycles through every encounter on start-up to keep things fresh.

1:37 - shame that this hud disappears during GK's or chainsaw animations, seeing as they're good opportunities to check your cooldowns.

I tried Horde Mode last Friday, all I am going to say is that it is great and when I overcame what I thought was the final fight in the last wave of Round 5 in The Holt. I was horribly mistaken, and Killed!

This update is so massive that it's almost a new DOOM Eternal game

My "fix" to those unhappy with the random weapons is, that at the end of every level, you can "buy" weapons, sacrificing the points you've earned to increase your rank. If you don't, you get one random, if you do, good luck getting those points back, specially if you keep spending them

I personally wish we had access to slayer gates on the main menu like the master levels and mission selections.

I absolutely love the challenge it brought. I've been able to place #9 in the global leaderboards for nightmare. And I've played on an Xbox one s lol. I haven't played for 2 days so I might have dropped off.

It's interesting on how right you are on the randomness, and that it forces you out of your comfort zone Ran Lock On throughout base game + DLCs, and through UN as well. But in horde mode, when you only have a combat shotgun and a RL, how are you going to take on a pinky swarm? Lock on won't help, but remote det falters? Start learning just how sweet they can be!

I know there is some contention on the randomized weapons in horde with the more hardcore player base but the randomization adds so much to the gameplay for me. Having a limited arsenal of a variety of combinations in the early stages is exciting, as I learn the best way to overcome the odds with what I have. I think best remedy for the competitive audience would be a separate mode that has a specific weapon progression. Glad they broke up the horde arenas with blitz and traversal arenas, they are great as well. The whole arcadey structure and everything was great I am thoroughly enjoying horde alongside the other additions and content to the game in this update. Great video!

idc about my life, I'm just gonna make my way until I'm the best in the leaderboard! Now let me complete the video

The controller changes are nice but I really wish they'd add M&K support for console. It's been a while since I've played but I'll redownload for horde and the DLC master level, sounds fun

The problem with the score system is not about randomness of weapons but minmaxing around x4 sphere and knowing of the most valuable (per time to kill) demons of that specific set of waves. And there is no score for the style - swapping, midair kills, quickscopes, week points etc.

For horde mode, the final battle was friggin intense. Especially with the bonus waves. Definitely the hardest thing in doom eternal, I was on ultra violence.

Horde Mode: Starts you out with only the Combat Shotgun Mayo immediately switching to Full Auto: “I see this as an absolute win.”

Horde mode is great. The first run, I had the ssg as my first earned weapon, which made a for a great time moving forward. My second run, I got the rocket launcher first, then the chaingun. Trying to adapt with what I was given has already made me better at the game. I went thru TAG1 and didn't lose a single life just because I learned how to use everything in my arsenal, which made every arena fight so much more manageable.

My love for gaming died months ago. But seeing the patch release, and this video appreciating the Dev's work and effort while the community stays positive made me smile. This game began as a demon killer fps, and overtime it's evolved into a single player competitive playground with every player having their own unique playstyle. I'm loving it all, keep up the work. And again Thank you for your hard work.

22:55 I wasn't expecting new levels. I was expecting Battlemode Maps to be used so that I could officially experience them since I don't want to bother with the multiplayer.

Even though I played through the campaign multiple times in Nightmare, my preferred difficulty is UV. And playing the Horde Mode turned out to be great fun in Hurt Me Plenty.

Well I now have plans for the next 27 minutes. Ps: The dread knight is the most overpowered demon (berserk mode literally kills the slayer in 2 seconds).

Awesome breakdown and review! I’m so excited to see what kind of mode come out of this framework

Ever since the update dropped, I've felt like the flow of gameplay has improved quite a bit. I feel like I'm getting more out of the game than I did before and it's great.

I hope id will add map variations of the Horde mode with future updates now that the solid foundation has been made.

This gamemode the first thing to make me audibly scream from stress in any game.

Want a button for both grenades? I have a fix but it's a bit convoluted. U can make a macro, useing the program autohotkey, to make a single keystroke, let's say h, become h>e>h. It's not perfect and it requires some setup but it is functional.

Thanks for mentioning me Mayo(I'm mad_maxg) I hope Abel recovers. This update is great. I grinned so hard when I saw the double possessed barons and the turrets protecting the buff totem in the last Holt arena. Same case with the World Spear ML, especially the unique arenas like the stone imp courtyard with the low ceiling. Keep up the good work, I'm loving the content recently

Nice, definitely was looking for a new sweatshirt for the winter.

Thank you for advocating such a healthy community mindset. I appreciate how you speak respectfully to the top-tier players while still looking out for the 99%. Great video as always Mayo!

Hey man i love your content, you are the first doom content creator that that i watched since i bought DOOM ETERNAL upon release. You taught me not to give up on a game like this and now it's my favorite game ever

Dread Knights are really fun to play as, it has its highs and its lows because it mostly gets its strength out of using berserk. It can at times feel OP against a slayer but any slayer who can remain near a portal and knows how to ballista boost to get movement away from him can escape the berserk assault.

One thing I would’ve liked to see in 6.66 would be an extra mode in horde mode with all weapons unlocked from the start but there’s a RIDICULOUS amount of demons in the arena and it’s endless. I’ve found myself using weapons I don’t usually use in the campaign because of horde mode. Great update

I hope in future Doom Eternal updates, the updates will continue to be named like 6.6667, 6.6668, 6.6669, etc.

My first run gave me the plasma rifle last. I have never felt more fear for possessed demons than I did then. It's funny that you mention that you swap weapon mods more, because that''s exactly what I found myself doing, switching weapon mods in the early stages because I need to make up for my lack of weapons somehow. It's amazing.

Very well structured video Mayo, keep up the good work

You helped me fall in love in with this game. Thanks!

One thing I loved about the random weapons is that on one run, it forced me to learn sticky bomb precision bolt combos on the fly

I love your reviews Mayo keep up your Great Awesome Content❤ *Happy late Halloween*

I played a couple rounds of hoard mode, and before then i only ever used ballista to hit weak spots. Ive started using pb now bc i got it early in my nightmare run & learned quick scope combos. It feels really awesome to improve areas outside my comfort zone and the randomness really helps with that.

This mode is amazing and has so much potential. I think there’s some additions to it I’d love to see, namely customization. I’d like to do a traditional wave-based endless horde mode. Overall love Horde, LOVE Battlemode 2.0 and I super love Dreadknight. A bit of advice for my console homies, bind the Super Shotgun to your L3 so you can quickly switch and meathook away when you’re cornered. Helps against Dread’s beserk in BM and is also so nice in general gameplay. That little taste of PC action I had going from Precision to Ballista to SSG was amazing.

Love your take on the update. Great video as usual. One thing I wish they also added to horde mode is random maps mixed with the random weapons. It would truly make each run unique.

Seeing wipe out mentioned makes me happy.

14:30 I thought of something similar. What if it spawns two weapons randomly at the end and you have to choose one to take? It gives more player control but keeps most of the random nature. I personally like it as is.

What a great video Mayo. One of your bests. Keep it up!

In my first play through, I had the issue of dealing with the Spirit in the Cultist Base final arena wave 4 with no Microwave Beam since it didn’t spawn in. At the time, I thought that was a design choice because I didn’t realise weapon spawns were randomised. It was annoying, but crazy fun. And now that I know that, in repeat play through where I don’t have microwave beam, I won’t do that bonus wave. That is part of what makes repeat play through interesting - each time, your experience may be different depending on choices and weapon you’re given.

Gotta say, I respect the merch plug at 6:45 lol.

If you fire off sticky bombs well you can kill all the turrets protecting the buff totem at the end at once. it's pretty fun to do.

I had the map ambience glitch happen to me yesterday for a few seconds then it went away, so props to ID!

I totally agree with the random weapons, takes you out of your comfort zone. I never use the plasma rifle but it was the first gun I got, and it was really fun trying different strategies I don't typically use.

The random weapons make horde mode very fun and replayable though even I an ultra-violence noob slayer think sometimes it sucks when you dont get the weapon you want. Also I will say the last encounters in The Holt are insane, possessed marauder, double possesed Barons with a marauder, triple arch-viles,

Awesome review maestro.

This update actually got me to really appreciate your playstyle and also involving some of it in my own. I dont know why, but the plasma rifle is now really essencial for faltering for me and it really improved my gameplay. Still not the biggest fan of full auto but i enjoyed the first few rounds of horde mode using it. Great video by you and great Update by ID.

I really love Horde Mode, the randomized weapon is great and your re-roll idea is actually brilliant!

man i love the horde mode random weapons mechanic because i use the plasma rife a lot and it happened to be the last weapon i got out of the full arsenal so it was very interesting fighting certain enemies such as the armored baron very fun 11/10

The fact that all of the content in this update... Especially horde mode is free makes me so happy and it makes me so proud that I'm a part of this community and also what an inspiration hugo sir is. Loved it. Thank you guys.

When I first played Horde Mode as soon as update 6.66 was released, which i was waiting for pretty much all day, the first heavy/super heavy demon I was put against was a Doom Hunter, and all I had was the combat shotgun. it was the first time i had faced a Doom Hunter without some powerful weapons and most importantly, the plasma rifle, and my god was it fun to fight it.

I glad they give you fully upgrade weapons, because my main strat is just spam the grenade launcher mod on shotgun to win, unless I need the plasma gun for the spirits

Glad they fixed the falter; I hated cyber mancubi because remote detonation never reliably faltered them and you’d get hit with the slime explosion.

I agree with the random guns generated, it forces you to experiment with new combos and adapt to fit the combat.

I just got back into eternal these last few days and I went through the entire campaign after this update not using the sticky bombs. Something i would have thought was crazy a year ago. Full auto is just insane.

in my first run the heavy cannon was my last weapon and it was really interesting having to do combos i wasn't used to doing, as literally all of my combos (even stagger combos) use precision bolt

Seeing you can have custom controls on console now. A neat thing would be having button combinations or things simply like double tapping them as then you could map everyone weapon.

An Update worthy of the Number

i really think horde mode needs more systems to earn points with. as of right now the only ways you can maximize your score is timing the multiplier boosts and not using the bfg. i think some more stuff granting you bonus points for killing a lot of demons at once , killing a superheavy soon after it spawns, etc would make the battle for a high score a lot more fleshed out and fun.

Some of the design choices during the final round are just EVIL. I will never forgive Hugo for the buff totem surrounded by tentacles.

Boomerang X had different settings for its playlist mode: You could have an alternative playlist/leaderboard for non-random and set weapons, or even custom settings. That re-roll idea is more fun, though.

I like the randomness. It's awesome. Because that means I have to use guns I usually don't. As long as they fix the weapon wheel. That my edited version can be used. All I dislike is that we can't erase spirits.

I do like the idea of having the grenades and ice bombs set to different key bindings.

Playing on cultist base, fighting doom hunters and blood maykrs with all of the upgrades, runes and suit perks but with the only weapon being the combat shotgun is the one of the most fun things in this game.

I absolutely love playing Horde Mode, and because of the randomness of the weapon rolls, it gave me a newfound appreciation for weapons I did not use frequently. First run, got the Plasma Rife, and I cannot tell you how much I used the gun, especially Microwave Beam. Even at the very end of the Holt, I consistently used the MB to nullify superheavys. Horde Mode has made me a better player because of it forcing me out of my comfort zone, and experimenting with the resources provided. I have not had this much fun with Eternal since TAG 1!

I hope in a future update they let us select the arena's and even the music. It'd be cool if they let us use the collectable music found in the campaign as well.

The controller button changes are awesome, but theyre overshadowed by the fact that the weapon wheel still doesnt allow you to remove the BFG/Unmakyr. Im still accidentally choosing the BFG when i meant to use the rockets.

On my first horde mode playthrough i aldo got the plasma rifle at the end. And it msde me use spirits as a warning. And it made me set up spirits so they possess a zombie and i could leave them for the end.

The dread knight is really good, he is also considered to some extent broken. The berserk ability he has can kill a full health full armor slayer in like 3 seconds. While it informs you of it, it feels that its abit broken. The range of it, makes running away to avoid him almost impossible

1:26 The lord is okay with just calling him Hugo!

Hey Mayo I’m not sure if you’ve attempted ultra nightmare Mars core yet, but I found an odd in the second to last arena. When the shielded buff totem spawns in, watch out that you’re not on top of it. It made me reset as if I fell off the map and then got stunlocked to death. Not sure if this is an issue elsewhere but felt it’s worth mentioning maybe.

Battlemode dread knight is now my favorite demon to play and he was already my favorite demon in the campaign so I like him even more now

I just need, a possessed Marauder, with a buff totem near by, and screechers all around him. I’ve been wanting this since tag 2 first came out. I hope I can get something crazy like that out of horde mode

I was glad some areas were amped up a little. We needed a little more of a challenge! The fodder phase of the fountain arena was not really that fun, but Im glad they put different enemies in that arena! It's very nice.

Brilliant video I absolutely love horde mode myself and I wouldn't mind a endless mode but if its done correctly for me a endless horde mode would play out like this so like with what we got you three maps each map being rather large having power ups come in after a certain amount of time say ten minutes and chainsaw fuel coming in after a amount of time and then the waves breaking down into ten waves each one getting harder and harder with more and more higher tier demon's coming out in the later stages the last wave being the endless wave that is a good mix of all the demons from the chess set that I think would work.

i think what could be cool is having the option to use unmaykr and to give a slight point bonus for using it intelligibly like in combos or something, it would be nice to get more people who only think of it as a BFG type weapon, to see the benefits of the unmaykr because in all fairness it's better utilized like all the other weapons, being quick swapped and used in combos.

Just did both master levels and horde mode and havent played in about 3 months. Made me realize how much i missed this game!

23:40 OMG I felt this specially on the third traversal challenge in Holt, I can already do the first 2 kinda easily but the third one is so tricky to pull off, but I’m not discouraged I’m sure I’ll get better at Tarzan myself with the Meathook. Overall, I love horde mode, I already unlocked everything but I’m still going to try and beat my best score, difficult thing to do since I’m already at gold lmao.

I love the randomness of Horde Mode. That's what makes the replay factor of this mode so good, because each time you start a new session, you don't know what you're gonna get (to paraphrase Forest Gump's mom). :) Spot on review (as always)!

I got the plasma rifle last on my first horde mode playthrough, and as a fairly mid range player it was brutal whenever a spirit showed up, especially since I always play doom on nightmare. They deleted my 1-up supply every time, but by some miracle I made it to the holt before dying embarrassingly to a Marauder dog. It was the most intense experience I’ve had in doom eternal since the giant arena in the taras nabad master level

At 1:30 when you make the statement of requiring a seperate bind for frost and frag grenade. I know It’s a nitpick but VEGA specifically says in the Campaign you will be required to manually toggle the grenades. I do understand the reasoning though for smoother gameplay

The randomized weapons, I had fun fighting a marauder with no ballista or super shotgun lol

The one thing they haven’t fixed in the update is the stupid bug on the ps5 version where a cyber mancubas does a green pool attack and it locks up the R2 and L2 button with the adaptive triggers even when I turn off the settings for adaptive triggers. And it also happens randomly while playing for no reason.

its not fair i allready developed a play stile around the wepon wheel

I'm super glad they added horde mode. I haven't played in forever and I actually suck rn, horde mode helps me familiarize myself with weapons and forced me to survive ob very little, making the game challenging and helpingbm learn how to fully utilize my weapon wheel. To anyone who's annoyed by it, you need to suck it up and get better. Doom Eternal gives you the tools to help make you better. Use them.

did anybody notice hammer sometimes not working on tyrants? especially after an ice bomb. I noticed it couple of times already. If I ice tyrant and then hammer him in 2 seconds after ice he ignores the hammer and recovers immediately after ice effect goes off.

I was playing PC for so long before i even THOUGHT about quick switching. So many nightmare playthroughs and im still learning shit

My first horse mode run gave me a bunch of spray weapons first, so I couldn’t just SSG/PB everything. Made me really uncomfortable but holy crap was it SO FUN. That’s kinda where I land now with Doom - I don’t care about playing on Nightmare all the time, because there’s enough challenge on lower difficulties for both Horde mode and the master levels that I’m not going to get tired of either anytime soon

The wall collision movement issue with dashing is rough but otherwise an awesome big update for the game. So much CONTENT.

10:11 dammit todd howard has done it again

The first time I played Horde mode I legit had the default weapon line up of combat shotgun-heavy cannon-plasma rifle-rocket launcher etc, and thought it was normal, then I tried again and got the ballista and was so confused lol. I personally love the randomization of the weapons for the same reason I love cod zombies or the original Resident Evil 3, each retry of the game is different in strategy depending on what it provides for you to utilize and improvise. It’s honestly one of the best mechanics for a game dev to use for replayability and a curse for speedruners rip
