Update 5 for "Doom" also features a new multiplayer mode called "Infernal Run," in which two teams battle each other in a game resembling football. The two teams must keep the ball to themselves and then must throw it into the enemy's goal.
Aside from the new multiplayer mode, Update 5 for "Doom" also features Echelon 11, meaning the level cap has been upgraded in the update. Gamers can now reach Echelon 11 and get a "Doom" marine armor as a reward. This awesome new marine armor is also available in SnapMap, which also features the new Lazarus Lab modules.
According to Bethesda, "Doom" players will also be able to earn double XP beginning now until December 12 at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET. But that's not the only thing to look forward to, as on December 15, id Software will be releasing the third and final "Doom" DLC pack. This upcoming DLC will feature three new maps and a Spectre Pinky demon, among other awesome new features.
