Oh And Lost Souls Look Cool. 
 
 
I wonder if Doom 4 will have any extra tricks integrated like the original dooms strafe running or the high precision no spread burst fire with chaingun.

It must no ? 
 
Integrated is a curious choice of word. The strafe running is a bug, and the chaingun first shot accuracy is because it is based on offset logic - it deviates from the first shot. I'd wager they went with the now common cone simple random sample of shot spread, which doesn't have that result. 
 
Yes I know, but the trend is to make these game defining bugs into "features" a la skiing in tribes 2 etc...

I guess it will have its own little bugs to discover and use. 
I Guess It Won't Have Many.

only 5 more hours... 
Played The First Level Before Work This Morning 
First impressions are generally good. I liked that the level had plenty of verticality and although basically quite linear, did allow me to explore a fair bit. Not only that, but there was a reward for exploration in the secret areas, info chips and upgrade tokens.

The combat is OK so far. I like the feel of the finishing moves, but the shotgun felt a little slushy. I think it might just be that my speakers suck or my bass is too high, but it didn't quite have the punch of the shotgun in doom or quake. The explosions also felt a bit limp... it's probably sound related, so I'll try with headphones when I next play.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to going home and playing some more tonight.

Oh, and well done Bethesda for actually releasing the game in Japan at the same time as everywhere else for once. 
 
The shotgun in Quake has punch? 
Maybe Meaning Q4? 
that shotgun has exceptional punch IMO.
