Anyone meet up with the Alpha team yet? I'm a little lost. My objective right now is to meet up with the Alpha team at the Admininistrative Centre, but I have no idea how to get there. I've killed everything and I've been walking in circles in the dark building. How do I get there from say the kitchen? Or Marine Command centre?
Try lowering the res to make it smoother. In fact, in the game, hit alt-ctrl-(~) then when the command prompt comes up typing in "com_showfps 1" If your FPS is lower than 20ish lower your res and quality settings. With your computer, try to get an average of 20 fps. That's decent enough. The max doom 3 can go is 60. Anything below 1o is literally unplayable.
I just got my own copy of doom... I use to be very critical to games, but this game is unique. The sound, interface, gameplay and graphics are in top. Never seen anything like that...
I run the game with 30-35 fps with no monsters, but with 20 fps when monsters enter the screen. But it lags a little bit.

The game is stunning, don't get me wrong but it's really not a game that I can see myself playing over and over. Remove the pretty eye candy and Doom 3 is nothing but another running down the corridors shooting monsters. I can see Doom 3 becoming the base of a lot of mods, and thats the only hope I can see for this game as the singleplayer game is rather boring after a while and multiplayer sucks with only 4 players per server.
Things that annoy me
- So dark! Yes the game is scary and frightening, but so is my bedroom if you turn the lights off which is how this game creates its atmosphere. Its not the mega-shaded-pixel-bumps that you'll need a ninja video card to run, but its simply called turning the lights of an inserting a monster or four.
- Corridors... lots of them.. corridors, corridor, corridor, corridor, air vent, crate... blarg. That's Doom 3.
- It's really scary. Yeah, i bag it but it is scary and because ultra realistic monsters leaping at you from the dark tends to freak you out. Therefore I can only play it for a few hours at a time. Yeah, I'm a woose. I want my mummy.
- No co-op. Don't give me this tripe about "ooh it interferes with the single player". Bugger that, they did it for doom and doom 2 I don't see why they can't do it again. Lazy bastards
- No exploration, no interaction. Like I said.. its all pretty much corridors and air vents. You can't even break glass with the BFG.
Things I dig:
- The second best looking game so far. I call Far Cry as the best still as design and scope go and the eye candy in Far Cry is still better.
- It's scary.
- Signals a huge jump for game designs and fills me full of hope for the gaming industries future.
- Damage models and shooting physics are really good. Nothing new, but it still looks good.
I'm still not finished and its definitely worth checking out if you have a machine that can run it. My excitement is already fading on this game, but it does make the prospect of Half Life 2 all the better.

Those of you who have ATI cards, get the new 4.9 Catalyst BETA drivers optimized for Doom 3.

Gray, that flashlight only makes the game better IMO, because i never played a game like that before and, and thats only a good feature because you dont really know whats in that corner before you turn on the flash and BANG you get an adrenaline rush
And if its scary, then they did there job. Because DOOM is known for beeing scary.
And its a fricking spaceship you are on, dont expect any trees or great nature for you exploration, you knew that before.
Of Doom 3 and HL2, i will bet my Juve shirt on that HL2 will be a bigger disapointment. I cant say HL2 dont look good, but graphicly, doom is superior. Dont get me wrong, i look forward to HL2 and i will definatly purchase it.
In my eyes, Doom3 is the closest to the most perfekt 1 person shooter (with ut2004). Not to forget that it will have some mods released.

ok im in love with the damn game
its so awesome how you have to flick between flashlight/gun, and guys ust pop out of no where that you couldnt see before
greys right about how its all kind of the same, but its awesome none the less, so what ever
are there any other levels than these places on mars? or is it all the same?
my main dissapointment is the lack of interaction with the stuff in the game

This had to happen:
Doom 1 mod for Doom 3
The map rebuilding is very accurate, and I think this is a great idea
