'Doom' Free Update 5 News: Gamers Can Play Against Bots in Multiplayer

Bethesda Softworks announced the free "Doom" update 5, which includes some game fixes as well as enhancements in multiplayer mode.

One of the welcome additions in the "Doom" update is the fact that you can now play against bots in Multiplayer mode.

For now, however, bots will only be available in the original multiplayer maps in Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch.

There's also a new game, dubbed "Infernal Run," and the objective is to get the ball and score in the goal of the opponent.

The maximum level cap has also been boosted to Echelon 11, level 50 and if you reach the maximum multiplayer level cap, you get an unlockable Doom Marine Armor.
