Most big name mappers do actually put in the effort to balance HNTR and HMP just as much as UV. However, most doomers nowadays do not find Doom 2 UV that difficult or interesting anymore, and find the Plutonia and Hell Revealed UV styles more fun. This is why you never see many projects have a skill setting that resembles Doom 2's HNTR or HMP.

No name mappers tend not to bother balancing the other difficulties, but generally maps that lack difficulty implementation have all skill levels identical. So I'm not sure I understand what you mean by unplayable on anything lower than UV.

>>2223343
Depends. Its usually perfectly fine. However, if you aim for Traditional gameplay (ie, standard weapons, enemies, everything), take note that a good chunk of the audience behind such maps are speedrunners, and prefer using demo compatible ports, like vanilla/chocolate, and PrBoom+. Unless you use a good deal of gzdoom/udmf features to justify requiring gzdoom, you may receive annoyed grunts from some doomers (particularly at doomworld) for limiting port compatibility over just one or two things.

[Anonymous No.2223424]

>>2223419
Personally, if I'm mapping vanilla, in general, I'll stick to vanilla sourceports or make them as compatible as possible.

The few times I use UDMF or z(doom in hexen) format is when I'm mapping for zandronum.

It's also my opinion, but fuck mapping for gzdoom.

another monster level from the dark ages. meant for co-op or using super weapons on skill 4. it is playable on skill 3 though. you will get horribly lost, the switches to open doors are usually on the wrong side of the map, the keys are hard to reach, many doors are unmarked, it has all kinds of weird progression forcing far too much backtracking. that said it grows on you once you've learned it, as seems to be common for this kind of map (see satan/satan666 a few threads ago for another example)

File space aside, do you have any qualms about players using Mp3 music in their maps?

I've thought (but not minded at all) that the modern-ness of the Mp3 music contrasts strangely against Doom but that could just be me.

Mp3 music allows greater variety in music and I don't mind it if "used right" but it's hard to know what using it right even is.

Every decent sourceport out there supports MIDI, the original .exe supports MIDI since 1.5 or something. If you know how to set up Timidity you can also use custom soundfonts that improve the output quality of the MIDI files if you're tired of the cheesiness of Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. MP3s are lossy, MIDIs are just sheets.

When it comes down to Mp3 or any other "real" audio files (ogg, flac) it all comes down to how it's used in projects...

>but it's hard to know what using it right even is.

Hell Ground does it right. Hell Ground was a GlBoom/GZDoom project done by Eternal which was arguably ahead of its time. Truecolor textures, gorgeous architecture and alright gameplay. The thing is, the audio files accompanied the greatness of the project and they never were a detriment. See (and hear) it for yourself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq_NmGmI8eI

Since Hell Ground wasn't your common WAD, Eternal took the liberty to include non-MIDI music to build the not-doom atmosphere even further. And it also helps that .ogg files allow better audio quality compression compared to MP3s and both sourceports support said format.

Now, let's compare this to another project which used "real" audio - Damnation

A 32-level WAD with no custom textures (as far as I can recall) and it came bundled with MP3 files from the get go. As you said previously, let's avoid the filesize issue (the project was around 120MB because of this, which arguably was the biggest letdown and a reason it never won a Cacoward), and focus on how it was used. Did it help build the atmosphere? I don't think so. The author was forced to upload a non-MP3 ver. of his project to /idgames because people weren't interested in downloading the project as how it was intended, not because of the filesize, but because the project would've been the same with or without the MP3 files.

And with all due respect, most of the cases where you find MP3 files it's because it's the author's first map ever.

I've been trying to get my friends into doom lately but we cannot agree on the lives situation for co-op. I was wondering if there was a WAD where if a player dies they can be revived, but if all players are dead the map resets. This way, players are really punished when they die in a tough spot, and players would need to work hard to get them back.

Is that an actual problem or did you deliberately made it this way?
You could make it like doomrla and have all melee atks do melee type damage.
SHING = 100% melee damage reduction while it lasts. I dont think it protecting your back is an issue unless you're completely surrounded, but that should kill anyway.

If it doesnt block melee for balance purposes... do the same thing but reduce only lost soul damage then pls.
Depending on how fast you can throw shields, its going to be a problem.
Why is the weak sword throw even gone anyway? It was great for these fuckers if you were using shield/torch.

You guys remember me?
I was ranting about how Samsaras Duke is different from the original one.
A few days ago I started to reply DN3D again (highest difficulty = "Come get some") and DN64 too.
Wrote down all differences and patched them in Samsara. Now it's finished and compatible with all IWADs (bonus: replaced Freezethrower by my version of the Expander). I do hope he plays exactly as in DN3D/DN64 (welp, a 100% replica is not possible, but should be as close as possible to the original one).
Feel free to test him.

I loved the cool new features it had, and the puzzle elements. But the lack of Chaingunners, Revenants and Arch-viles made it not all that challenging in the monster side of things. I guess they'd have been overwhelming for a controller user, though.

I also did not understand its map numbering. Regular levels are maps 01-24, 28, and secret levels being 29-32. With the three bonus levels being 25-27. Would've made more sense to me if they numbered it 01-25 for normal levels, 26-29 for secret levels, and 30-32 for the Bonus levels. But oh well

i'm surprised you listed the menu system. prboom+'s menu system is more or less the boom202 menu system, but with dozens and dozens of new options forced into it. as a result, it has evolved a great deal of clutter. isn't the general menu 9 pages long now? chocolate doom's ultra conservative philosophy came in part so that it doesn't grow a huge menu of options like the boom-based ports did.

i can't speak too much about navigating eternity's menus, but frankly all doom port's menu systems are dreadful, simply because all doom ports have so many options. i think a lot of them could be relegated to "edit the config file if you want to change this". but modern computer users and editing text files don't mix.

New beta of BD v20 is up. Did anyone found any bugs on the latest beta?

- More improvements on blood.
- New death animations.
- Improvements on water effects.
- I am restoring the destroyable bodies. So far, only the zombieman has this feature.
- New marine classes will be added. So far, the only one is the Purist Marine. He has a vanilla version of all weapons using modified Perkristian smooth weapon sprites. (chainsaw not done yet)
- Added Doomnukem's wooden grip shotgun as default skin.
- Many improvements on kicking animations.
- Removed player weapon skins. They were bugging the crouch animations, and also, now I am able to add more animations and will be easier to handle new player classes.
- Added more animations for the player.
- Water will make a big splash when you jump on it.
- Gibs will be crushed when you jump on it.

As always, report any bugs found.

- A shotgunguy marine that has more "ridiculous" gameplay. He can dual-wield SSGs, use dragon breath rounds on the shotgun, has rocket launcher alt-fire to fire bouncing grenades, etc. He takes 10% more damage.
- A female marine that is 20% faster movement and has much more variated and stronger melee attacks. She can also use the old plasma gun that fires faster and has the plasma-thrower alt fire. She takes 20% extra damage.
- Chaingunguy Marine. Takes 30% less damage, but is 35% slower. Starts with Minigun and 100 bullets. He can't use the kick, but instead, he gets a sprint for a while that allows him to knock down any small enemies that gets in his patch.

I usually have freelook off. Just mouseturning. I never really saw the point in looking up and down in Doom. Fake 3D bridges become more apparent that they're fake with freelook on. And there are rare cases where freelooking allows you the possibility to shoot switches far earlier than intended (I know that you could simply choose not to shoot them, but even with that in mind, its still possible to do it unintentionally from time to time).

I guess the concern about the Female Marine in terms of balance is Shotgun guy will have such a ridiculous burst damage output thanks to the SSG and potentially way more fighting potential with a smaller penalty to his defense.

Will she have different melee moves or will it be the standard ones like right now but boosted?
If it's like what it is right now then I probably would just jump kick all day with her.

It's probably all conceptual right now but I like talking about class balance

>>2225804
His dual SSG won't reload as fast as a regular one. The only real advantage that it will have is to blow two shots at once, since it will take almost as twice to reload.

The female marine will have a different set of attacks. She will be able to do a triple kick, and when selecting the fists, she will have a whole new set of combos and attacks, that includes stuff like a spinning kick.

[Anonymous No.2225815]

>>2225808
Will Shotgun guy always have to reload both SSGs at once or can you like alternate it ala Style mod with the dual SSGs?

I feel four barrels at once is a pretty hefty advantage to carry around even if the reload takes longer.

I am interested in the female character for sure though, I always like melee playstyles.

I just hope it is viable.

Also I was wondering, since it is possible to throw zombies at other people to deal damage, would it be possible to have certain melee attacks on kill to launch enemies a bit to also deal damage?

It will work like the current dual wielding system for the rifle and the plasma gun. Weapons are operated separately with the left and right mouse buttons.
His dual SSGs will be much more unpractical than it sounds. It will take some practice to get used to it.

I do not mind slow reloads, the concern is mostly that his firepower might be overshadowing the 10% extra damage he takes.

I see, so how do you make it so they make one explosion sound when close to the player, then when any distance beyond "close" it makes the Duke Nukem explosion sound?

I like that effect, was it hard to do?

[Sergeant_Mark_IV !!7AmZzMETkut No.2225872]

>>2225852
Well, maybe I should reduce the damage taken by the female marine to 10% then.

>>2225869
It's easy. You just need to make the sounds play in different channels (close explosion in channel 1, and far on 3 for example) so they don't stop each other. Make the far explosion sound take 3 or 4 tics to play to emulate the traveling distance of the sound, then edit the SNDINFO lump to make the distant explosion to be able to be heard further. (3500 units is a good distance)

I think that's a good damage change for her.

I just think someone in melee all the time should have more of a focus.

Considering what I know of shotgun guy(Dual SSGs, Grenades) it sounds like he would fit more in a glass cannon role since his firepower is going to be considerably higher.

Somehow I forgot to finish the sentence.

Should have more of a focus on not dying so easily*

In BD everyone feels pretty fragile as is(Because enemies are tougher) so I think a 20% bonus enemy damage would be a real dealbreaker.

I will probably end up playing as her mostly if her in melee works out well.
I probably would pick her anyways just for the speed boost if it doesn't pan out

i tend to ignore the weapon sprite and use the crosshair to aim. of course, ignoring the weapon sprite becomes impossible when it covers up most of the player view. needless to say, i found the huge sprite off-putting, and was glad to see it gone. it was as annoying to me as your issue is to you, although, your issue apparently being "weapon aim is not realistic"; a lack of realism being, may i say, a very strange complaint to have about Brutal Doom.

its not about realism, its about the sprite not visually aligning with the point of aim. a most definitely non-realistic example of this would be in the city of the damned: apocalypse, where the revolver is crooked relative to the line projected to the point of aim.

if we want to say that basic perspective is a realism issue that doesn't need to be addressed, might as well just throw out sprite design altogether and just use the pickup sprites as view model sprites because fuck all if anyone gives a damn about sprites giving visual cues as to where to aim.

I'm gonna leave you guys with one last question/opinion:

Currently the shield throw trick is a boomeranging thing. Should I stick with that? Or should I make it fall to the floor after a set time and vanish?

Or maybe you guys have a different idea of what should happen after the shield gets chucked, mind you this is for both the standard and POW'd up shield.

[Anonymous No.2227162]

“Hey,” Romero told Carmack one day at the office, “there’s something you have to see.” He booted up Doom –or at least what was supposed to be Doom– on his computer. Instead, the trumpeting theme of the Star Wars movie began to play. The screen filled with not Doom’s familiar opening chamber but instead a small, steel-colored room. Romero hit the space bar, and a door slid open. “Stop that ship!” a voice commanded from within the game. Carmack watched as Romero jolted down the hall past bleeping droids, white Stormtroopers, laser guns, the deep bellows of Darth Vader. Some hacker had completely altered Doom into a version of Star Wars. Wow, Carmack thought. This is gonna be great. We did the Right Thing after all.

The Right Thing was programming Doom in such a way that willful players could more easily create something like this: StarDoom, a modification, or mod, of their original game. It was an idea hatched after seeing the early modifications that players were creating for Wolfenstein 3-D. That small phenomenon had caught Carmack by surprise, even though he had long hacked games like Ultima himself. The Wolfenstein modifications were different, however, because players weren’t just finding the code that they could change to increase their characters’ health; instead, they were changing their characters altogether, replacing the bosses with Barney.

[Anonymous No.2227164]

Though Carmack and Romero were intrigued and inspired by these actions, they were concerned over the destructive quality of the mods. Players had to erase the original Wolfenstein code and replace it with their own images; once a Nazi was changed into Barney, there was no way to bring the Nazi back quickly. For Doom, Carmack organized the data so players could replace sound and graphics in a nondestructive manner. He created a subsystem that separated the media data, called WADs (an acronym, suggested by Tom Hall, it stood for Where’s All the Data?), from the main program. Every time someone booted up the game, the program would look for the WAD file of sounds and images to load in. This way, someone could simply point the main program to a different WAD without damaging the original contents. Carmack would also upload the source code for the Doom level-editing and utilities program so that the hackers could have the proper tools with which to create new stuff for the game.

This was a radical idea not only for games but for any media. It was as if a Nirvana CD came with tools to let listeners dub their own voices for Kurt Cobain’s or a Rocky video let viewers excise every cranny of Philadelphia for ancient Rome. Though there had been some level-editing programs released in the past, no programmer–let alone owner–of a company had released the guts of what made his proprietary program tick. Gamers would not have access to Carmacks graphical engine, but the stuff he was making available was more than just subtly giving them the keys. It was not only a gracious move but an ideological one–a leftist gesture that empowered the people and, in turn, loosened the grip of corporations. Carmack was no longer a boy dreaming of computers in his Kansas City bedroom; he was the twenty-three-year old owner of a multimillion-dollar company, and he could do whatever the fuck he wanted. He could live the Hacker Ethic big time.

[Anonymous No.2227167]

It wasn’t a popular way to rule. With the exception of Romero, the only other hacker-minded programmer at id, Carmack’s generosity caused much consternation at the company–especially among the more conservative minded businessmen, like Jay and Kevin. “This is a crazy idea,” Kevin said. “No one’s ever given away their tools to make new content. And we have to worry about legal questions. What if someone takes our content and combines it with their product and releases it? What if someone takes all the content that’s developed on the Internet and sells it on the shelf and suddenly we’re competing with our own product?”

Carmack rolled his eyes. They didn’t get this at all, he thought, because they weren’t programmers so they didn’t get the hacker joy of it. They weren’t really gamers either. They weren’t part of the gaming community that was growing up there. To Carmack’s appreciation, Romero came loudly to his defense. “Dudes,” Romero told the others, “we’re not going to lose that much money. We’re making a ton of money right now. Big deal. Who cares?”

[Anonymous No.2227593]

>>2227546
IMO silent teleports are good for creating illusions of different floors in a map, and rarely should be used for monster ambushes; however, there are times when a mapper wants a player to be completely taken by suprise, and the silent teleports help accomplish that.

As far as not putting everything behind sliding walls, sometimes there's not enough room around the sector to place a big enough monster closet OR the placement of the door itself would interfere with the monster behavior.

There's reason to use both, and it really comes down to personal preference. I, personally, like it when my monster teleports make noise so the player knows where to start shooting. Even without the noise, the enemies themselves will make activation noises that should get the attention of the player.

I've always held the theory that the revenant was originally intended to be a reanimated human skeleton, but scaling the sprites down to zombieman height made the sprites look like ass.

In this case, it's both. The thing is, Graf doesn't have an AMD card to test on. Compound that with AMD's inferior OpenGL support, and you get one hardware-accelerated Doom port that runs like ass on AMD cards.

>Though on Graf, what was that hullabaloo about his latest update not working on older machines? It's why I haven't updated.
GZDoom recently updated its OpenGL version from 2.0 to 4.0. Apparently it'll still work on cards that can only do up to 3.0, albeit with a massive performance drop compared to cards that could handle 4.0 and GZDoom builds prior to the upgrade.

I also suggest you play the first game and then the second game, Episode 1 and Episode 2 are both really great, as is Episode 3, Episode 4 was added with the release of the sequel and are considered by many to be very hard and unfair in terms of gameplay, nobody will hold it against you if you don't feel like playing through Episode 4.
Doom 2 adds some cool new shit, but after the halfway points a lot of the maps don't feel -quite- as fun, though I still encourage you to finish it just for the experience. Then there's Final Doom, I'll get to Final Doom later.

Doom wasn't originally made with vertical mouselook in mind, but it was compatible with horizontal mouselook from the very beginning and that was always popular.

If you get a port like ZDoom or GZDoom, those will allow you to look up and down. GZDoom actually renders the game in OpenGL, so you have a much freer view than with ZDoom, though the latest versions of GZDoom are running on a new renderer which isn't working for a lot of people, so if you find that the latest GZDoom doesn't work for you, look for the past couple of versions.
As said, free mouselook doesn't break the game really, aside from the final boss of Doom 2.

Personally, I prefer to turn off the original auto-aim and then place my shots with the mouse manually, feels much better to me, either way it doesn't horribly change the game.

Jumping and crouching was never part of the original game and you can really break some of the original maps with that, such as jumping over barriers you weren't meant to get over, or getting into holes and under ledges you weren't meant to fit into, to progress sooner than you're meant to.

Personally, I just keep in mind to not break maps that were not designed for jumping and crouching, otherwise I like it for that extra bit of maneuverability

Doom 1 is easy enough though that you'll never really need jumping and crouching.

But I encourage you to play it because it's a damn fun game to this day.

Now, Final Doom, that's an interesting beast, basically, Id was tired of competing with cheap and chintzy (and very questionably legal) CD's full of shovelware .wads downloaded en masse from the internet being sold (outselling them for a while even), so they decided on publishing two sets of levels (they would later publish the Master Levels for the same reasons), they went to the fan mapping community, looked around at projects and people involved in them, and looked at Team TNT, who were making TNT: Evilution, one of the first megawads (complete 32 map replacement), Id struck a deal with Team TNT to publish their megawad as a standalone Doom game, under the name Final Doom, but they wanted another 32 levels, in a separate wad, and it was agreed upon that two of the members of Team TNT (the Casali brothers) would make 16 levels each for that separate .wad, which was Plutonia.

Evilution and Plutonia was then packaged commercially and sold as Final Doom (along with a now obsolotete Windows 95 front-end known as Doom95), advertised to be more challenging than any other mapset (particularly Plutonia), and it sure is, at the time it was hard as balls (and it still is). A lot of people like these mapsets (me included), some don't, but it's certainly worth giving them a look because of amazingly different they are from Doom 1 and Doom 2, both in gameplay and design. It's still the same core game, but the maps are really something else (and Evilution had the coolest soundtrack). Personally, I wouldn't judge you for save scumming if playing Plutonia.

After you're done with Doom 1 and Doom 2, I definitively suggest you give Final Doom a look.

Sorry if this long winded, but this game has so much content, you are doing yourself a disservice if you skimp yourself.

First off download the /idgames torrent we have on the thread, and then you will find the majority of content in /idgames/levels/doom2/megawads
and
/doom2/ports/megawads

Play the first doom to get the hang of it, then DTWID to get the hang of it some more, then go for Plutonia and Thy Flesh Consumed to learn of how challenging the game can get. You don't really need to bother with DOOM2.WAD or TNT.WAD, they aren't that outstanding outside of their historic/nostalgic value. You either play those just to live through history, or you can play it with enough gameplay mods to sharpen the dullness.

There are some PWADs that are absolutely essential for your backlog, and there is an interesting difference in the era they are released, I would recommend playing through the big 90s/early 2000 megawads to respect the older level designs and to actually play a considerable chunk of dooms content:
AV.WAD
SCYTHE.WAD
REQUIEM.WAD
MM2.WAD
HR.WAD
HR2.WAD

Another way of knowing what you must play is to look up the Cacowards on Doomworld that have been hosted throughout Dooms career, its a way of finding content that has a good consensus with the communities.

And then you can go for the newer ones such as jenesis, Whispers of Satan, Community chests (3 and 4 are the most worth it), Going Down, Hellbound, Plutonia 2, Scythe 2 etc.

At whatever point you can always put in whatever mods you want, I'm a puritan so I prefer to leave it vanilla and more enjoy the maps.

Anyways Doom2 is pretty great, especially if you are naive to the other maps, but I will tell you there is way much more awesomeness out there, don't feel compelled to get to MAP30 of any WAD, you really have to check everything out! Especially if you are new, the difficulty ramp will kind of compel you to try out the beginning of other WADs (that is if you don't save-scum)

Icarus had potential to be the first megawad to exceed the iwads, IMO. It fell short of this unfortunately, because some maps feel rushed and underdetaileed, and the difficulty is rarely all that challenging outside a couple maps.

DRPG does it using a feature I specifically had implemented a while back called APROP_DamageMultiplier. It's applied every tic for both players and monsters based on their stats and works like so:

For players it's 1.0 + ((Strength + Level Strength) / 100)

Strength being the player's basic Strength stat and Level strength is determined by Player's Level * (10 - Game Skill)

For Monsters it's 1.0 + ((Strength * Game Skill) / 100)

Both of which multiply the actor's damage by it's base amount.

This is the new method it's been done with for a couple months now. The old method... well, it involved around 32000+ actors and I just don't want to talk about it. :P

Why is it that no ACS script (ENTER, RESPAWN and RETURN) is executed when the player resurrects himself via console command?
This shit breaks almost all mods.
Does anyone else type "resurrect" in the console if you die while testing stuff?

You could just make it darker to match the shield you're holding.
That would help a lot.

I noticed I left BRIGHT on the projectile sprites. That's probably not helping.

i've been known to bind it to a key!

Btw those bright cyan skirmisher spears are purely for testing, right?

[Anonymous No.2228681]

>>2228679

Those are cyan too? Damn my eyes.

THOSE I'm leaving bright though that way you can see them coming. I hate projectiles that are hard to see

I kinda wish Sieben and McCandlish made a better effort in finishing it. Maps 21-25 all scream of being filler.

Honestly makes more sense to be cautious these days than ever.

Wouldn't even reveal my full name to my closest online friends.

Wait, Hokuto Shinken is back? How do we activate it now?

Is there a need for music? I'm thinking of finally contributing something for the Doom community. I have mucked around in FL studios and made SOME good stuff, but I think it would be cool to learn how to make old school MIDIs to heighten the experience of our favorite video game of all time.

I just think about all the awesome shit people have contributed to this game, and I have no patience for mapping :/

What would be awesome is if I made a backlog in time for the next /vr/ map project for you guys

i think a few people already made music randomizer so yeah, new midis are always appreciated

[Anonymous No.2228970]

Some new enemies. The green guy is the default shotgunner who fires a slow burst of three shots, the blue guy is a spreadshot guy who fires...well, the spreadshot. The last guy is the rarest, the hyper-rapidfire gunner, who has a chance of dropping machinegun ammo.

There's a whole ton of mappers that could use some custom tracks for their maps. A lot of musicians make a topic to dump all their stuff in and mappers pick and prowl through it.

If you're interested in metal midis, DemonSteele's Metal Jukebox is always open for submissions.

Looks like I'll get started on the weekend! Maybe get some shit out in the following weeks. I don't know why I didn't think of doing this before.

My style is more electronic, atmosphere, demoscene, and even classical inspired (movie/video game score stuff), but it is always good to broaden the horizons and experiment with metal. I have some mp3s I made a long time ago, I can translate that manually into MIDI, then make some new stuff, and see how comfortable I am to do the metal.

I thought about doing this because I recently played both Return to Saturn X's back to back and they have great music, I was inspired. Felt like I was playing Unreal.

You'll fit right in with the modern midi composers if Back to Saturn X is an influence.

BTSX's D_STLKS3 is rad as fuck.
I haven't jammed that hard in a long time.

That's kinda cool.
If I link you a rock song, would you be willing to sample the main beat for a track?

[Anonymous No.2229131]

>>2229123
pathos? drama? give me a break man, that level was a joke. a good joke but still a joke.

[Anonymous No.2229173]

>>2229129
Sure why not!

>>2229131
Idk, I think I am mildly autistic. I just thought it was a good track is all, and anyways I don't really care how an episode ends. Like the music and atmosphere in Doom doesn't usually go for that kind of an effect. Is it just a joke in the sense of "hurr durr you die at the end faggot you suck, it was all just a dream being had in a simulation that grampa was tellinga story about constructed in a dimension by gods playing chess"?

i think it's a joke in the sense "there's a ship named the unsinkable fats domino, but it sank". irony, in other words. combine that with an oft-seen way of ending a wad that doesn't go all the way up to map30 - put the player in a small room where he can't move - and the idea of a cutscene where you sink to the bottom of the ocean almost writes itself.

PRDMR is sort of a mixed bag of some good ideas, some bad ideas and some good ideas with bad incorporation.

Level design looks like somebody tried to do Half-Life -style mapping in DoomBuilder.

After manually fixing some of the more often annoyances (recoil, gearlogo, HUD etc.) it becomes sort-of enjoyable (to an extent)

Planned obsolescence.
Your 70 dollar battleplop 4 is only designed to last a year tops, even after those 10 dollars a map DLCs.

Can't have the players extend the longevity of the game to the point where it threatens the potential sales of their bi-annual sequels.

It's a terrible business strategy if all you care about is quarterly profit margins. (see EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc etc etc)
