Dissapointed.
Dark, but not as bad as Doom though.

heh...

I have another complaint about the game...the mp maps, like the dm17 space one...just don't look as 'clean' as they did in q3. Lots of clutter in the textures it seems.

My verdict: No complaints in single player. Multiplayer seems great as well. I just need to buy some new hardware

I am extremely disapointed in amazon.com

I am loving the SP game so far. Plenty of action, no monster closets, plenty of light (after the beginning part). Having a good old time with it.

I tried out MP for a quick game earlier, and it is fun as well. It's a lot chunkier than Q3, for lack of a better word, but I think that is all map design. I only played the one map, called Blood-something. It's just not as easy to see, and doesn't really flow.
But I thoroughly expect the map/mod community to come in and give us some good, community-oriented maps that flow well for DM. I haven't played CTF yet, but I'm dying to soon.

Back to the game now. :icon32:

VERY. Its pretty much a combination of Quake 2 and Quake 3. Lets face it, you can do it INSTANTLY when you first go in, and it feels NATURAL. Its that good.

I just picked it up, installing it now

I have the game. I have tried singleplayer (I dont much care for sp compared to multi in general but I like this).
So far it just seems like a faster paced doom3 (I have not gotten very far). Too many sounds are recycled from q3 and d3 and too many sounds repeat (that noise the strogg make everytime they appear is becoming irritating already) Also the machinegun sounds bad. Your allies often get in the way (though I'm playing it on general and therefore have to do alot of backpedeling). The games seems a little brighter than doom3 but not as bright as I could make q3 (though I have more tweaking to discover I think). I was really hoping the console would be less like doom3 and more like q3 (similar commands, settings that STAY-namely com_allowconsole 1, and less caps). OH and no bots suck.

On the plus side, the allies are quite nice. They provide solid support and can take more of a beating than you can. You can keep the flashlight out with a weapon. Enemies have a better variety of attacks than doom3. Combat is straight up no nonsense. Maps provide ample cover from attack. Plus its FUN AS FUCK.

I'd just like to add that the fast paced amount of shit going on really makes it shine.
