In an interview with one of the motion-capture actors for the next entry into the mighty DOOM franchise, Brad Hawkins, it has been revealed that DOOM 4 could feature large squads of humans fighting together, comprised of both military personnel and civilians caught up in the fight.

This could mean that the battle against the demons of hell has shifted to Earth, as civilians and the military work together to repel the invasion, maybe even hinting at a more open style of gameplay, as opposed to previous entries’ corridor shooting. From the interview:

“[Filmmaker Mark Bristol] was very specific on the civilians having a certain personality and the military characters having a separate one as well. The body language of the civilians is less, well, ‘trained.’

“They carry their guns in a looser fashion and are a little sloppier when they run, a little more freestyle. The military characters are sharp as razors, with very swift moves, exact hand positioning and can turn on a dime.”

The interview, first appearing on GGL Wire, has since been removed, so we know the information has to have some merit to it! This titbit joins the other tiny bit of news about Doom 4, in which it was revealed that the game has authentic novelist, Graham Joyce, attached to the project in a writing capacity.
