The modes are Soul Harvest, Freeze Tag, Warpath, Domination, Team Deathmatch, Clan Arena. Six modes. Countless ways to kill. Infinite ways to die. Welcome to DOOM multiplayer, which delivers fast-paced and competitive combat in brutal, blood-spattered arenas. For a deeper dive into three of the modes you’ll be playing when DOOM is released on May 13, check out the video below.
Team Deathmatch – Self-explanatory. Rack up the most kills by the end of the round or acquire your team’s quota of murder. The demon rune – which turns whoever gets it into an overpowered monster – will be present.
Clan Arena – Similar to Team Deathmatch but with no respawns, pick-ups, health drops, or demon runes. Team with the last man standing wins (or whichever team has the most players left when time runs out).
Soul Harvest – A team-based mode in which players leave souls behind that you must collect for a kill. You only get points for snagging an enemy’s soul, but if you pick up one from an ally it prevents the opposing team from collecting their trophy. Furthermore, a demon rune spawns where the first player dies. Whoever is killed by the demon leaves two souls in their wake, but killing the demon itself results in a hellish piñata of five souls. Tasty!
Freeze Tag – Your shots will encase your enemies in a sheet of ice. From this point, they can be bounced around like the sliding virtual hockey pucks that they are – useful for pushing them into lava. Players will thaw faster if an an active ally is standing near them. The first team to freeze everyone else wins (or whichever team has frozen the most opponents when time runs out). Furthermore, a demon rune will drop onto the map towards the end.
Warpath – A King of the Hill-like mode where the capture point revolves around a marked path while a demon rune orbits in lockstep on the opposite side. Whichever team holds the capture point long enough to hit the goal (or has the most time racked up when the time limit expires) wins.
Domination – King of the Hill with three static capture points. A demon rune will spawn at random while its location will be announced to all players.

Die Dämonen Rune im TDM stört etwas die competitive Balance. Clanarena trifft den Quake Massengeschmack auf eine Fast Food Runde. Freeze Tag ist da für den Fun. Die Alpha sah grafisch „okay“ aus, aber jetzt auch nicht zum Jubeln. Vielleicht hat sich da bei dem verwendeten Built im Trailer noch was getan – oder es ist eben ein Rendertrailer.
