I’ve been dying in, uh, playing Doom 2016 multiplayer. On the screen where the parties are put together, there’s each player’s level and then a I, II, or III next to the level number. What do those Roman numerals mean?

(On an unrelated note, how do you do strike through text here?)

So, to answer my own question, apparently they are prestige levels. Once you reach level 50, you get a I, when you reach it again, you get a II. It’s supposedly similar to Call of Duty, which I’ve never played.

I’m still curious about strike through font. I guess that’s a better question for ATMB.

Strikethrough is the del tag.
