[@coolman60001]

I'm still kinda new so it will👌

[@kaylenpadayachee2008]

Love this video I'm so excited to be able to play this soon keep up the content mayo.

[@gipsydanger5802]

Mayo is it viable to use the explosive barrels during combat? Because there is an ability to get ammo from explosive barrels.

[@richardmartinez3342]

What i like about remote detonation is that when I start shooting a lot of rockets and trying to score direct hits, if they side step or dodge the way cyberdemons [oops, tyrants] or pain elementals do, I just detonate the rocket and fire off another real quick, making it easier to lead the shot sometimes if its me that is moving in the air.

[@WaveOfDestiny]

This really makes me think of Halo Combat Evolved deep combat mechanics: having played that game for years i have mastered timing my shots precisely to keep an enemy faltered and create openings for combos like sticky grenade, melee, headshots, multikills or allowing for a retreat or controlling space like a punishing mechanic in a fighting game. I think you should cover that too if you have experience, people really underestimate the potential of Halo CE especially more arcade shooter players, as they don't see that a good part of the combat is not just the mechanics but the tactics and ai. Ps I noticed you have played halo a couple times but i assure you that Halo is just as deep as doom eternal, when you understand its dance. Instead of giving you different mechanics to play with it instead makes you use your brain to make the mechanics yourself

[@PNDKM]

Im all aboard the sefuuuwurh for short train

[@anuragsrivastava3580]

Things to take away from this video 1- Faltering System is more complex than I thought 2- Need to start using Remote Det and can use lock on whenever needed 3- SFIW pronunciation 4- Wawawawa laser

[@decimal1156]

The new official name for the laser. I'm gonna start calling it that.

[@Siledas]

It's actually intense how technical Doom Eternal's gunplay is. Like, it's become a cliche to say that any given game has "innovated" or "revolutionised" in whatever genre it might belong, but this may be the first time in a very long time that I honestly think it'd apply.

[@chad762]

I can 100% agree with that statement. I may not be very good at the game, but i can still admire how deep this game's combat system is even though i haven't finished my first nightmare run yet.

[@bitffald]

Nope, it is an old thing, just take a look at quake, live or champions... Arena fps have always been extremely skill based, hard and deep, some are based on resources management and some others are based on area/items control, doom is an excellent and deep game, but not the deepest. The point is that it's one of the few mainstream arena titles out there, so many people who didn't know the genre are finally starting to appreciate it, and I'm happy about it, even if it's not my case... I've been facing the deepness and the difficulty of these games for years, just like many other experienced players.

[@weaudihere6460]

@@bitffald well said, I started playing unreal tournament 2004 when I was a kid. Been hating on most fps games since then until doom 2016 and eternal truly saved me where quake champions failed too!

[@bitffald]

@@weaudihere6460 Thanks, yeah I gotta admit that quake champions started out weakly, full of issues... But right now it's so impressively balanced and skill based that it could blow your mind, sadly it's not a popular title, and there are few unsolved technical issues, such as optimization and stuff. 1v1 and 2v2 are obviously the best and most competitive game modes...

[@purebaldness]

@@bitffald whilst I'm absolutely with you, I think an important distinction to make is that Eternal is single player focused. Quake's depth lies in the multiplayer. Sure, you can strafe jump etc in the campaigns but they were never made with the weapon mangement, map control, advanced movement and all the hallmarks of Quake deathmatch in mind with the exception of rocket jumping Whilst most of Eternal's systems aren't new to arena shooter veterans, I do feel that having them all accounted for in a single player focused game makes OP's points more valid than you'd think. I hope I'm making sense

[@owlgoddess8534]

i have never heard the tyrant laser referred to as the “wawawawa laser” until now, and now i’m gonna start saying it

[@smitabhmoitra5726]

I call it the alarm clock

[@bertruger]

"wah wah world" laser

[@hyrumtaylor3581]

Yes

[@mondragon9282]

Lmfao I laughed out loud when he said that 😂😂😂😂

[@ladjiel]

Anybody know the background instrumental music played in 4:25 - 6:00 ? Beforehand, sorry for the interruption

[@T-revMoto]

"SFIW for short" earned a like on its own. Haha.

[@ascina9222]

Especially with his serious tone all the time

[@kevinharte4177]

It got me to pause and like right away

[@Eric_Nomad_Hixtone]

Also "wa-wa-wa laser"

[@alexiryo]

A whole like? Jeez how generous

[@ladjiel]

Anybody know the background instrumental music played in 4:25 - 6:00 ? Beforehand, sorry for the interruption

[@aly5947]

Next video Why remote det > Doom eternal

[@jrmungandr_4404]

Never have i seen a first person shooter with such deep combat before

[@Ferrochrome12]

I suggest Team Fortress 2.

[@MsMacintosh]

Payday 2 has a lot of gun play as well, though it's less deep for each weapon.

[@varun4929]

Mayo is now Officially the Decino for Modern DOOM. That's so awesome

[@hmmmp]

What we've all been waiting for

[@jojonathas9485]

Pc gamer, now

[@the_mse]

Hmmmp!

[@Ismael-kc3ry]

[@AntonisVaik]

Boomers would call it the "pain state"

[@abd-qadirgilani8871]

And the Falter Window as Pain Chance!

[@tobiasgerhardt7604]

Isnt that exactly what it is though

[@sants2674]

I read that in Decino’s voice

[@ghoulbuster1]

I still can it pain chance lol

[@Ferrochrome12]

This is exactly what I came here to say. It's really cool that iD managed to transfer most, if not all of the mechanics from the old games and present them in a modern way. Oh, and for TF2 fans, doom also invented critical hits too. *Looking at you, 150 damage berserk punch.*

[@stilo2703]

When you're playing harder levels it becomes increasingly useful to have a free falter in your arsenal.

[@adamwatson1565]

Faltering mechanis to go along with my french lesson nice

[@Shieftain]

TRES BIEN!

[@jimmy21584]

And I came here from Germany looking for videos about moths.

[@SuperT380]

If I were part of Id and saw your videos I'd probably be moved to tears by how much time and enjoyment people like you and the community put into the game

[@gabr1elawesome]

"I don't know what the next DOOM game is gonna be like" Hugo: we haven't even made our best DOOM yet

[@OP10thNakama]

The more these types of videos come out the dumber all those reviews who claimed the shooting mechanics were a step down from 2016. Keep up the good work

[@NyoMurdi]

Crazy to think that almost a year later; we're still learning so much about the gameplay.

[@McOxigen]

Honestly, I never knew there was so much in remote detonate, no wonder I stayed alive for so long during some playthrough. RD saved my life so many times without me even realizing it lol great guide man.

[@burzarec]

Is this the video hidden in the Hugo's Bikini Shoot folder?

[@jonathanbrockway5861]

I remember you said in one of your recent videos that you had "hundreds of hours" on this game and that you are always learning new strategies and techniques - the dedication to your craft and the detail/effort you put in results in what is simply some of the best content on KZbin; period. I'm so close to supporting you on Patreon, something I never thought I would see myself doing - your content uploads are one of the highlights of my week!👍

[@dantymanis5239]

I keep telling you, in this game you feel less like an avatar of rage, and more like a professional demon exterminator.

[@deceseze]

5:50 i love his gentle honking noises, almost makes me feel bad

[@uryenatienza4093]

Archvile just whimpered 😂

[@KaiserAfini]

This reminds me of my experience with DMC3 and Bayonetta. When you start, there are way too many options and you are being overwhelmed by everything. The more you dive into it, the more you perfect your understanding and reflexes, eventually reaching the point where you can not only mow down armies of enemies with pure skill, you can do it in style. Its very cool that Doom Eternal takes you on a similar journey.

[@WaveOfDestiny]

This is why i just started the other day with DMC 1 before going to DMC 3 and eventually to 4 and 5, as i wanted to get a feeling of how the game plays with the relatively simpler mechanics. Good decision since the first few hours i struggled to even survive

[@Arkin7]

These videos are massively appreciated. They have made the difference between enjoying the game at the high difficulties and the majority of my first play through where I thought the meat hook seemed silly😅.

[@sherlockhighland8292]

1:45 Mancubus: I have been feltering for 30 minutes!

[@kevinharte4177]

The visuals and word choice made this one of, if not the most, educational video you have made. Extremely well done. Only thing I would change with the visuals would be adding a picture of the demon you are talking about to it and showing the 'destructible demon' effect as the health bar goes down. I can only assume you spent way too much time on this, but myself and others appreciate what you do for and with the community.

[@Ayeloo]

the amount of movement options, combos and tech in this new doom is honestly scary

[@jeongminkim4409]

To say that there are a lot of things to master is an understatement in this game. Glad you covered parts of it.

[@AqibA.C.]

Absolutely love that you made a video on this. Doom Eternal just has so many awesome mechanics that it really implements so seamlessly that you can't even tell until you really sink a lot of time into it, and that's just so cool. So the fact that you brought attention to it really helps those of us who are still learning the subtleties of all of this. Thanks for the well made videos as always Mayo.

[@rianquinn]

I would love to see more videos like this. I have learned a ton from this an Brawler mode (which I only completed on UV, but it changed my Nightmare playstyle dramatically). Thanks a ton for putting the time into making this video.

[@snafusledge9138]

Always new features to learn with this game, incredible, this game is seriously eternal

[@Fatlumpthe1st]

This is fascinating. Thanks for the in depth look, I now understand why all those falters failed and got me killed all throughout my Nightmare run so far 🤣

[@sonofwolf2270]

"Whua whua whua laser" Accurate. Besides this is great, didn't knew this. This just proofs that DOOM Eternal is way more than an average first-person shooter

[@zat5176]

You can pronounce SFIW as “Spheew”

[@heatyeet6538]

Suh fuh iw wuh

[@BuniBoop]

I like how deep DOOM Eternal is, arguably as deep as a fighting game. Don't you agree?

[@Marsmuncher]

Wholeheartedly. Whilst I'm no where near the best at it (only done up to Nightmare on the regular game and UV on the Ancient Gods part 1) I can recognise the depth of the combat and I'm always impressed when more skilled players like Mayo further explain the depth of the combat to a level I wasn't aware off. It's the one game in 2020 that I'll always come back to.

[@bodyno3158]

DOOM Eternal is a fighting game disguised as a FPS shooter.

[@proteh]

This is very useful information. You put so much work into this research, so thank you for sharing this!

[@lekolega]

Now, this is something I did not know. I never dove this deep into it. Thank you for the info, I will surely use this. It will take some time, actually a lot of time to install this into my brain given the fast nature of the game but it's worth it. It always is. Much love for the work you put into this stuff. It really shows you love doing it. Hope to see more.

[@megan00b8]

If my teachers explained stuff this captivatingly, maybe I'd be less stupid

[@thoseguys3813]

7:02 I love that you called it a wawawawa attack lol

[@hpdekok525]

Dude thanks so much for the faltering guide, I’ve been trying to get into nightmare recently and this is gonna really help.

[@snowbunker]

7:02 Its now officealy illegal to use other terms for this attack.

[@MYNAMEISFROWNER]

I really can't imagine what the next DOOM game would even look like, there was a bunch of room for improvement regarding its predecessor, but they've left none for this game. The only thing I can think of is getting more creative with the platforming, like using the meat hook for traversal.

[@TomahAwkDJ7]

can i just say that the visual explanations you provided are really top notch ! thanks man

[@MottenManOne]

Damn im playing this game nonstop since launch and im still finding out new things to do Thanks Mayo for educating me

[@UltimateRosen]

I love stacking falter after falter on a baron or cyberdemon/tyrant. With grenades, bloodpunch and heat blast you can just stand in front of them quickswitching until they die.

[@bluishzeemail]

I love your graphs and visual tools, amazing!

[@bobpeterson7182]

Love that you keep bringing great info for us!

[@BishopHavel]

3:58 I will now only call Mancubus "Fatler" now

[@underthemayo]

I wish it had been intentional. Lol

[@bulletwhalegames1575]

Great video, we're definitely going to use this as reference when we'll add falters to our own game. Keep up the good work, and looking forward for more of these types of videos.

[@MrAdam3232]

This was your favorite video to make, this was my favorite video to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@arielramos9614]

The rocket launcher reminds me of a character off MKX, with the lock on rocket being the straightforward meta variation of a character that everyone uses and remote detonation being the weirder variation that got buried a bit by the meta but has tons of hidden potential and wrecks you online

[@lilbee281]

This so informative. Great work all the visuals. Awesome videos as always

[@DigiPlayz]

This is great! I really needed this honestly.

[@Sergioiafrate]

I keep repeating it many and many times, but holy molly, Mayo, you bring so much to the community. So much respect for all the work you put in those videos. Keep it up you legend !

[@eksentrysyti]

The way Mayo plays this game is like art. I could watch this all day. It's like having MMORPG skill combos, but you're in first person while having to move and aim while managing different cc mechanics to delete otherwise tougher content. And then speed up gameplay by about 10x.

[@NE0C]

Absolutely love this video bro! The constant evolution of your content has been incredible. Keep it coming Mayo

[@dribble2287]

I really appreciate your in-depth understanding of the game and the time you’ve taken to put it on your Channel. I’m so impressed that these game mechanics are still being discovered/discussed almost a year later... Stunning job i.d.

[@diskgrind3410]

Thoroughly impressed with the depth of your insight. Thanks for sharing this great info.

[@nosferathu258]

It's amazing the amount of depth Mayo Dan distill from this game. Half the things I learn on this channel I have no ideia 😅

[@varunvenkatesh4787]

Love how you are dedicated to this game man! Great content as ever! Keep it up

[@aprofessionalcitizen9030]

YES! Research based breakdowns are fantastic. Videos like this are not only high quality, high effort content and enjoyable, it will improve my experience of Doom as I play. Kudos. This also brings me back - for many years drift0r's highly analytical COD in depth series was my main youtube consumption, this is reminiscent.

[@Mark-fc7tu]

5:28 Very nice analysis. I can see that the faltering system has a lot of interesting details.

[@huevocrespo]

Great video man.... I have learn quite a lot by watching your videos! Keep them coming!

[@shrey247]

holy shit this some high level educational stuff I'm taking notes of this shit thank you professor mayo

[@pitiflauticus]

What a fantastic research and explanation. I was totally unaware of the nuances of this mechanic, and very grateful for this splatter of Mayo all over my gameplay. Thanks, good sir!

[@TheSinlessAssassin]

I discovered this video at the right time because I've mostly stuck to the Lock On mod, but decided to start trying the Remote Detonation now. Plus, I started paying more attention to faulter states as Nightmare Difficulty has forced me to do. I'm going back on Hurt Me Plenty to relearn this game from the ground up as I really really wanna master it now, and this video helped a lot.

[@mondragon9282]

I'm gonna watch this video at least 10 times. There's super valuable info in here. Great stuff!!

[@Glen0cide]

Goddamn Mayo, that was some fucking AMAZING Doom content. I've been waiting for you to release this, your really helping us mere Doom mortals improve. Love your channel man. Really looking forward to that intermediate tips!

[@calebmalm2453]

This video is amazing, something i never thought about, thank u

[@DarthEradicus5908]

Mayo's in depth analysis has truly made me a better Doom Eternal player. I always look forward to your videos man, keep up the good work!

[@endfel3561]

I just love the guides series. keep goin mayo!

[@doonus6985]

This is really thought out and in depth, good job mayo 🥪

[@XBOXTOPUS]

Mayo continuing to produce the best and most informative eternal content out there. Always click when I see your videos and something about the way you play the game just makes it looks insanely fun. Keep it up!

[@b-metalfreak4911]

Awesome video. Thought I understood faltering but learned really quick I can use it a lot more. Thanks for the tips. Keep up the great work my dude

[@firsttimeforge3596]

“I don’t know what the next Doom game is gonna be like” *Dual Buff Totem Spirit Possessed Marauders with a Tyrant and two Blood Makyrs*

[@trice286]

I would really appreciate a video about the ballista's mods and what sort of uses each one has. I see myself gravitating to both for never really sure why. The master upgrade for both are surprisingly useful in many situations.

[@christian.xavier.villagran]

You and decino bring so much life into this fantastic and influential fps

[@SaucyBape]

Thanks I knew that there were stunlock strategies but this guide really helped me under stand it a little bit better before I was just spamming grenades while using high damage attacks keep up with this really interesting content

[@sekiko7183]

I've been playing a lot more Doom Eternal because of you. Thank you!!!

[@alfredoh2038]

great vid, part of me always wondered how faltering functioned in more detail, and never knew there were two kinds of falters as well

[@bretwilliams249]

What an excellent breakdown. Thank you!

[@ckrivkockrivko2725]

Great video and analysis!

[@asparagoosagus5954]

Great video Mayo! This will help me with Delta's Master Campaign mod.

[@joshbosco4028]

very well done. This is high quality content

[@SDK2K9]

That was a very informative video. ID has put a lot of work into the game's mechanics. Lots of creative ways to take down the demons.

[@grantleslie4293]

Damn I miss these videos. Excellent work Mayo

[@knightfromlordran]

These guides are super fun to watch

[@henryrothert6160]

Good video, definitely gonna start using remote set more

[@exeverrr]

One of the best guides that I have watched sir.

[@joshbimson3308]

I recently started using Remote Det more than Lock On, its a lot of fun once you understand it.

[@RMeeStudios]

Hugo is going to love the detail in this video

[@polarfoxpat3657]

I love the game, as for someone coming from Fighting Games, doing combos in Doom feels SOO GOOD

[@DanielM2006UK]

Fantastic video. It has been truly helpful. I've been attempting UN runs for a while now with no success so far. I was aware of the falter system and after watching some videos, picked up hints and tips. Yet there was something I was missing, something I was not seeing. Possibly due to time constraints, more likely my unfamiliarity and naivety as a player learning the ropes of this type of FPS. You should be commended for this, fantastic.

[@AJ-qf6qi]

One of your best videos so far. I've started incorporating some of the falter strategies into my gameplay and it makes taking on pressure units, barons and tyrants much easier. Also totally agree with what you said about lock on rockets being powerful but one dimensional in their utility, that's the exact thought I had about them for a while now and its why I don't really use em.

[@ryanmccarter9859]

God, this is amazing content. Thanks for doing such detailed investigations of this awesome game.

[@siddharth846]

Hands down best doom content! Learnt weapon switching from your videos and completed doom eternal campaign in nightmare difficulty. I think with your idea of faltering and rocket remote detonation mod i am ready for ancient gods!

[@AlexTuduran]

Thanks mate, that was actually pretty informative.

[@arcticpigeon116]

very nice and i will definitely be using this

[@light4299]

This was really excelent video, because i know how falters works but this guide really give me so many helpfull information especially now when i am playing ultra nightmare and this video will really help me and i hope i can do it. You are best.
