Before I go on I want to list my PC specs AMD Athlon 3000+ Barton Core 1 GB DDR 400 ram Radeon 9800 Pro - which is really what counts in Doom Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer I run the game at 1024x724-32 Bit-High Setting- AA/AF Off And I get 60 FPS while roaming down to 20 FPS minimum in battles The game start with a pretty intro explaining the UAC's purpose of creation and what their are doing on Mars. You land as a recruit on base and are assigned to a certain task. I ran around the base talking to people and looking at the pretty graphics. The bathrooms look cool, dirty and all. The mirror effects are suberb. I get a kick out of punching things, especially Coke cans that bend after punches. My favorite Mini-Game is an arcade game where you punch a turkey in the style of Doom, you punch it and it looks funny and dies then another one drops, and you rack up the points, I have a feeling that you get a suprise after certain points. Without any spoilers you continue and literaly Hell breaks loose. The darkness really pisses me off cause I hate when those zombie leap out at you, which happens a plenty. Do you know that moment in every horror movie when the suspence is high and something happens like a book falls or a guy jumps out, thats Doom at every corner, exept it's in your head with exellent sounds which create a erie back ground noise, with moans, creeks and plain satanic sounds. My first experience was in Multi Player, once you find a Non-Lag server the experience is unsurpessed. Althoug it's 4 player max, the levels are geniusly build so it feels like your playing atleast 10 people. The gameplay is fun, but the map choice is limited, we can trust the comminity will provide us with enough maps to satisfy anyone. Anyone else have this game? PM for some multiplayer. -------------

| It's 89.6% "acquired" on this computer. I have a 3000+ with 9700 pro, so it should run pretty good. I'll hit you up for some multiplayer later maybe. |

Trent Raznor did, it's sweet. The Xbox version is awsome too, a little lighter. Screenshots don't do this game justice, too much going on, on the screen. So much corners for possible ambushes, so much traps and drak corners. I usually scan the room with a flashlight, don't want a bugger leaping at you and me having to beat him to death with a flashlight. You can't belive how much "I'll bet you there someone there,(take out flashlight) Yep" moments -------------

Don't belive a word, I was baffeled with 3 different release dates so I said screw it, and went down to the mall, and there it was, a stack of Doom's right behind the guy, $60 dollars later I was too scared to launch. To get over the fear I just run out guns a blazin at every shiny, moving thing. Ammo waster but atleast my underpants are clean. -------------

mobius: the game looks good even at lower resolutions so your gpu
doesnt matter too much. also its capped at 60 fps so thats why you
arent getting more http://www2.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQ0 - doom 3 hardware guide everyone: when you pirate video games the creators wont make any profit and wont be able to create new games. so when good games stop being produced we'll know who to blame -------------

I fail to see how anyone is losing money by me downloading Doom 3. I wouldn't buy it even if I couldn't download it.
Its not like I would be willing to buy it and just download it to save money, if it isnt worth buying then theres no harm in leeching it. ------------- http://solipsism.ath.cx - solipsism.ath.cx |

^if its not worth buying than its probably not worth playing. why
bother playing it if you dont think its good enought to pay for? it
seems like that would just be a waste of your time... I cant stop anyone from downloading it i just dont feel that its supportive of gaming as an industry -------------

Super Newb Stop trying to convince them it's their soul not yours and don't turn this into a debate about religion I would buy the game if I were allowed to play it

How so? So if it isnt worth buying then it isnt worth playing? mmmmk that makes a lot of sense. maybe if its worth $20 to me and not $55. Also Im a firm believer is playing before you buy. Which is what I always do. I download it and play it if its worth buying I'll purchase it, just like I have done with UT2003 and UT2004. No one is losing money by me downloading Doom 3, because the chances are it will not warrant its price tag of $55. So I wouldn't buy it anyway. ------------- http://solipsism.ath.cx - solipsism.ath.cx |

It does look good on Low setting, but I gotta tell you this game is the best looking game i have EVER seen, the lighting is amazing. At one moment I took out my flashlight to look at a zombie, he had pretty textures and nice lighting, then he got too close and I wacked him with the flashlight. I felt sorry for him, because he looked retarded, then I shot him until his brain popped out cause I don't want him getting up. -------------
