Yeah, its got out, heh... Somebody sold it before they should of, and its in another horrid cardboard box. Somebody needs to "inform" them in the joys of DVD's :( Shame I have to wait so long for it in the UK...

Anyways, these pics are legit because they are from a legit copy of the game, not leaked. I never took them, I'm still trying to find a copy myself :paranoid:

What strikes me as odd is that on those CTF pics, they added that huge blue thing over the bottom...? Why not just make the hud blue/red instead of green? :shrug:

Really? In the UK we got shafted with 3 CD's and a huge ugly cardboard box :(

Its a shame. I love the new Doom 3 collectors tin for x-box. ITs like the silver metal halo 2 tin, but, doom obviously. And 1 dvd, like it should be. A DVD can't be THAT much more money to make, can it? Surely double the size boxes and 3x the amoount of Cd's would kinda cost more?

ALSO:

The new game comes with patch 1.2, which removes CD checking and has new netcode, as well as many bug fixes. Niiiice, about time they got rid of the cd check, hate that :icon14:

opps, i'm being a moron, i was thinking of FarCry where the Europeans got a DVD and the US got CDs, nevermind.

Maybe they're still releasing it on CDs to appeal to a wider audience (some people still might not have DVD drives?)

Possibly, but with other weapons the ammo appears on the HUD, so it would clutter a bit... Odd none the less...

It is true --

My Wal-Mart had it a couple of nights ago, and I tried to buy it, but it said to not sell it. So they put all the copies away the next day. But yeah, indeed, it is out.

Someone from id told me that some of the demo recording/playback problems would be fixed in the expansion release (1.2).

Can you verify what has improved?

Oh, and in case you're wondering, this guy (Brian Harris) has also said even more demo recording/playback things would be fixedin the the 1.3 patch, coming soon.

Yes, but you don't cover as much distance. The technique is pretty much spot-on as it is in Quake III; the payoff isn't as good though.

On the other hand, the jumps come at faster intervals than Quake III ones.

If by "same marine" you mean the generic guys that are all over Mars at the beginning of DOOM 3, you're right.

If you mean it in relation to the character you play as in DOOM 3, you are wrong.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory has much better graphics. Odium, I thought you hated Doom3?

Nice... very nice. Can't wait to play it since I am the only person in the Milky Way who loved playing Doom3, and I am no fanboy either!

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I know the gameplay is pretty much identical to earlier games like Quake II (and other 90s fps games), but in my book, there's nothing wrong with that.

And if that's the case, the game's style; its art direction, the graphics (of course), the sounds; the general presentation -- they're all pretty much at the highest calibur I've ever seen in a pc game. The only other single player game that even could hope to compete in that area is Half-Life 2, which I also like very much.

But since it was designed, in part, to appeal to the masses, you have to endure quite a lot of really retarded parts in the game. For instance, walking into fifty different rooms where everybody in there is like, "Well what the F! It's GOOORDAN FREEMAN!!" and all that garbage. The way the characters behave is pretty Disney sometimes. :(

But anyway, that's OT. My point is, DOOM 3 owns pretty dang hard. And even though the expansion wasn't completely created by id, I completely expect it to carry on the excellence of the first game.

Doesn't make sense. if you've got a PC capable of running D3, you've got a DVD drive.

They've been shipping as standard since about 2000 or so?

The "grab gun" is kinda nice, but thats so last year alá HL2.. the MP and the CTF maps is boring, and one weird thing is that id put in some kind of an auto forward jump that kicks in on your second jump... and i havent found away to disable it.
VERY odd..

Playing the sp campaign now.. its still dark as hell, you´re still alone(so far that i have come) and you still have to find that pda and that keycard to gain access to this door and this door... :puke:

There are 4 or 5 standard dm/tdm maps.. four of them are themed hell/construction site.. and they suck.
And there is also the 8 player feature now.. but you all already knew that.
