Bleh! :o After I beat it I didn\'t play it much at all except testing out the funny built-in test maps for the game. Found here (http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/code/12608.html). But I found a decent mod.
This mod allows a spawned Sentry Bot to go into battle mode. (link here (http://www.fileplanet.com/files/140000/143914.shtml)) I may play through the whole game again in Nightmare mode with a few of these accompanying me, just for fun\'s sake.
Another thing I do is load the "LotsaImps" testmap, go into God mode, no clip mode, bind spawn sentry to a key, fly over all the monsters and drop several sentries on their heads. Makes for some good fun. :D
Here are some :ghey: videos:

What I hope someone does next is allow a spawned character to go into battle mode also. What\'s the good of spawning Campbell with a BFG if he just sits there?
-
Bleh as well. Didn\'t take much to beat it and it was pretty weaksauce on everything after about the first 15 minutes. No really original weapons or enemies. I know it\'s a retelling of Doom 1, but please, at least try to make it a good game eh, ID?
As for games worth playing right now, I\'m currently enjoying the CS: Source beta. :)
-
It was ok, not exceptional. Next month seems pretty promising though HL2, CoD expansion...
-
Awesome, so I paid 50 bucks for a flop? :mad:
-
Most of us paid $55 but I guess so. My friend tried to give me reassurance that the mods people make wil give this game a lot of replay value.
He told there is a mod being made to make it like the old-school game System Shock 2.
-
Good Looking game at first. then it got way to repetitive. Then boring, then i deleted it. Would be good MP though, although i have tried it yet.

Where did you get a copy of the source beta?\'
And who the hell are those two kids in the second video, THX, it\'s hilarious?
-
Doom 3 is all about atmosphere, not gameplay.
I\'m looking at it that way and enjoying it.
-
I was enjoying the atmosphere, but then I started to think about it and it all went to crap. Zombies can only appear behind you out of the blue so many times before you expect it every single time you trigger them to come out of some area by entering another area yourself.
I\'m part of the Source Beta because I bought Condition Zero. Yes, it\'s the worst way to play CS, yes, you can get it for free, but I really wanted to test out Source. I\'m enjoying it and consider it money well spent. 39.99 for a game with one multiplayer map and a vast graphical upgrade over 54.99 for a next to nothing multiplayer experience and a 15 hour single player game. Counter-Strike Source > Doom 3. ;)

I can agree with that.
I try to ignore the fact that ID can\'t really make good games.
It\'ll be nice when the engine gets used more.

i loved it
most atmospheric game ever

if mm liked it then it must be good :rolleyes: .

well you know mm\'s motto, pc >...all ;)

And he\'s right.
I\'m loving the game too. I\'ll be loving it even more when my new video card gets here.... C\'mon Fedex!
-
So many mixed responses. I loved the first dooms. Its hard for me not to want to pick this up and get a new vid card with it.
Ill be checking it out tonight so ill see how i feel about it then.

Just some help here:I am planning to buy a new Laptop and I ve been wondering how capable is at playing DOOM3 satsfactory under low detail or Half Life2 smoothly under high-detail.I dont have the cash to buy the best one out.But here are some specs of a few laptops I can afford and tell me your opinion.I ll appreciate it.
VAIO
Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 2.80GHz, Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition (English version), 256MB DDR SDRAM, 40GB Ultra ATA/100, CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive 15.0" XGA (1024 x 768) TFT colour display
(Dont think this one can run any of them but anyways)
Travelmate-2001XC
Intel Celeron 2.6 GHz, 256 MB, 30 GB, 56 Kbps, DVD/CDRW Combo, 10/100 Lan & 56K Modem, Infrared Port, 4 x USB 2.0 Ports , ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 IGP Graphics supporting 8 x AGP, 14.1" TFT, Win XP HOME
Pavillion-ZV5225
Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, 256MB, 40GB, 56Kbps DVD-CDRW Combo, 10/100 NIC, ATI Mobility Radeon Graphics with 64MB VRAM shared, 15.4" WXGA+,Win XP Home
-
Try to get a laptop with a mobile radeon 9700 if you wanna play doom3 and hl2. That\'s probably your best bet to play these games.
-
You need 512 ram. It\'s just that simple.
-
laptops aren\'t really designed for hardcore gaming. To get one that is, you\'re looking at a lot of cash.
-
Doom3 is out of the question then.Cant afford an expensive Laptop.I looked for other Laptops that had as much as 512MB RAM but they are too expensive for me.
What about HL2 then?

It\'s no HALO, that\'s for sure.
-
sure, it runs more than 30fps
and doesnt use the same 4 levels
oh, and how were halo PC sales?
-
MM: While I agree that repetitive level design was one of the big things that crippled Halo.. you can\'t say that Doom III is much different in this regard. I\'m just past the Mancubus and it\'s mostly the same everywhere.
-
doom3 not repetitive???? :laughing:
-
Doom3 isnt too varied in its levels but the level of detail etc. really does, make it feel less redundant. I got to play it today and got fairly far for the time i was allowed. Like anybody else, id say that it isnt the most innovative game but i enjoyed the way that you used the little computer pad (forgot the name) and all instead of just walking around and shooting shit (though this aspect surely isnt forgotten).
The atmosphere set up by the game kinda reminds me of deus ex 2 in a way, but w/o its depth. So far im enjoying it. I cant complain at all (considering i didnt buy it anyway).

Why buy the PC version when you get the better experience with Halo on the console?
Save yourself the embarrasment and just back out of the thread quietly.

I did make up my mind... put the two statements together... I love the game, but I\'m not saying its great.
That make it easier for you?
-

I don\'t.
It\'s actually something my friend and I say to each other when we play Street Fighter III: 3S and it\'s just something we annoy eachother with. At this point, we just call each other apple sauce just because it\'s different, but people would not understand what the hell that meant here. :)
-
I like to say weak when a figg0t h7x0r n00b pwns me online. But I\'ve been saying it for years now, picked it up from Tekken tourneys actually. It\'s the coolest!
PS- Half Life 1 still the great FPS ever imo.

Popcorn and corona? Thats sick.

Weaksauce? That would definately annoy the hell out of me. Sounds so gay.
and SFA III is better :p
As for applesauce: "Applesauce bitch" ~ Ben Afleck

doom3 > halo
there really is no comparison
-
I d love to hear the "whys" too
-
I didnt really like the first halo as much as so many people (though it wasnt a bad game) so i could understand where mm is coming from but i too would like to hear why.
-
Its just that he is a graphics/PC whore.He doesnt have any valid reasons.
-

SFA3 is for pussies. It\'s like one of the Vs. games. Pure weaksauce.

From a gameplay standpoint, I could not disagree with you more. Doom 3 is trash compared to Halo.

Pussies? lol. Its pussies that say gay shit like weaksauce. SFA3 is a classic. You just suck at it. Im sure that goes for the rest of the SF vs series (which also happen to be good games. Cap vs SNK2 being my favorite). If the alpha series is for pussies then you must have been out of the capcom fighting loop for a long time. Poor baby.
:p
Id still kill you in 3rd strike anyway.
heh, weaksauce :rolleyes:
-
Farcry > doom3.
this is fun isn\'t it.
-

Let\'s all make a pact that it\'s illegal to say I\'m better than you in a console fighting game. How could you possibly know??
-
Because im so good at it you dumb b****. :p
I was messing around. Relax my filipino bother.
-
u speek slowr me no undstan u wha t saey me dum flip will wok 4 ric.
Man, I can\'t wait till u switch avvy\'s so you can be cool as sh*t again and we can exchange shirtless pics.
-
Yeah, Nicon is kind of an annoying bastard now\'a\'days. Maybe we should suggest a ban for him.

Please no. Anything but that. heh.
Yeah, i dont know what happened. Perhaps its a disease. *attitude changes with avatar* :iono: I cant really tell the difference. :(
-
Xmen vs Sf isn\'t "weaksauce" its probably the best Vs game out. The others went down hill and killed the whole idea. Then they decided to alter the combo systems and really f@#k the games up.
-
Pussies? lol. Its pussies that say gay shit like weaksauce. SFA3 is a classic.
You forget your place little one. SFA2 will ALWAYS be the better game. ALWAYS. It was the perfect blend of fighting styles -- no restrictions. Just like SF3: 3rd is the perfect blend. No limitations. Only a fighter newbie would relish in having to choose a limiting system and declare that factor as some type of "classic." Putting all of your fighters on the levelest playing field and making them work against eachother is the only way to go. Forget you and your tier system.
Im sure that goes for the rest of the SF vs series (which also happen to be good games. Cap vs SNK2 being my favorite).
After that, I stopped reading the paragraph. Cap vs SNK2 is your favorite? That poke happy game? Please. When that game first came out, for the first 3 months, I was in the top 10 on XBL. Then of course, I got sick of fighting Shoto scrubs, C, N and K groove players only, and of course the same tiered fighters as always -- Cammy, Sagat, and Blanka. Waste of time. Where\'s the variety? Where\'s the decent A, P or S groove players? How can anyone appreciate a game where there is no equal playing field unless the same grooves are selected pound for pound? Just idiocy.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 is guilty of the same thing. There are three tiered characters that are used every time in every tournament. Heck, the same guy has won for the past four years straight with the same three guys! Yeesh, how can people appreciate that crap? How can people appreciate ANY vs game? You can even see in the SF3:3rd tournament videos of the MvsC2 champ mashing buttons trying to get out of being combo\'ed because that\'s something you can do in MvsC2. Sad.
SF3: 3rd is where it\'s at. You won\'t find a more tactical and strategic fighter then that and the players are awesome. Only in a tournament setting could you find something as awesome as this:
Right Click - Save As (http://media.shoryuken.com/srk-daigo.zip)
You just can\'t see skill like that in a vs game.
I cant really tell the difference.
You\'re way more vocal about everything and you hate a lot more. It\'s like you have serious issues with some forms of technology. It\'s really odd. Plus, it\'s hard to tell when you\'re being sarcastic or not. It is text afterall -- we do need hints.
And for the record: I liked your avatar when I first saw it eight months ago. ;)
-
LOL. I enjoyed your little analysis of everything. Even touched upon my "personality change" and my "old" avatar. I guess i just said alpha 3 because thats what im playing right now. I have all the alphas and youre right. Two was definately a great game but i love 3 as well*shrugs*. I dont care what grooves people play in Cap vs SNK 2, I just enjoy a good challenge. Its rare but i dont have the liberty of playing online sadly:(. I really just like the way the game feels, not to mention the fact that it combinds some of my favorite character rosters ever.
I guess i just have a prejudice against 3rd Strike because i dont own it. I didnt have a dreamcast for the longest and although i played it often at other people\'s houses i guess i just didnt get the time to appreciate it. I love the game but im just not fond of it like i am with the alphas.
Its a pity i cant play against a guru like yourself (*sarcasm*);). I hate playing in some arcades and i rarely meet good players. 2D fighters have been on a decline sadly. The newest that ive gotten into is Guilty Gear X2.
So yeah, down with the hate. I guess since its me i dont see it as much. And most should know that im fairly sarcastic but i guess telling the difference might be difficult. Again i guess its just me not really thinking about it. Its all fun and games.
And dont diss the avatar. I cant make my own and ive never seen it before :p...
Oh yeah... Doom.... uh, it was fun? Yeah, thats it :D
-
OK last thing about SF etc.
I just watched that clip and i just have to say- wow. I think ill pick up a fresh copy of SF3 this week. Reminded me of heated battles between my cousin and i in Alpha3 (i know that must be some sort of insult to the superiority of 3/alpha 2 but you would really just have to be there). Using characters out of World tour mode, and characters that nobody expects anybody to be good with is just plain fun.
Id explain but ive already gone WAY off topic.
-
"You just can\'t see skill like that in a vs game."
guess u haven\'t been playing vs games all that long or even been to any tournaments.....
-
Oh yeah.Just wonder how some people can do complicated self-created 10-hit juggling compos in Tekken with such ease.Damn.There was this japanese site (was it Tekkencentral?) from which I downloaded a few Tekken tournaments.Too bad for some reasons I couldnt download later. :(
-
I just downloaded the clip, ryu that was a great clip to watch. Although it took a long time to download.

Damnit beat me to it.
But yeah, in 3d fighting things can get pretty technical for obvious reasons but 2d fighting is a whole different thing. Trying to come from playing 3d to 2d isnt cake by a long shot. Thats one thing i love about it.
I only wish i knew were to get more of those videos and not just for 3rd strike.

Oh I know that one too.Superb site.Use to download movies from there too.
But there was also another site.Full of Tekken master tournaments.It was in japanese(or was it korean).
-
I find it amazing that they have GGXX Tourney\'s. I wish i could go 1 on 1 with some of those guys. They even have a Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo tourney. Makes me want to enter so bad (though most of those guys are just insane. The GG tourneys must be nuts.
-
Hey I just transferred to a new host, let\'s test out their bandwidth. :D Here\'s some Tekken videos:
Japanese Mishima masters (http://gisnetwork.org/tekken/norijinguu2.zip)
Masters of Cheapness (http://gisnetwork.org/tekken/Cheapness.zip)

:(

Nevermind. Found the 4.6 drivers. Now I can\'t get past the loading screen. God this game is buggy. The DOOM forums is nothing but people trying to find work around\'s for the bugs.
Edit: Finally got it runnin\' and let me say this.. God damn this is a gorgeous game and I have to agree with MM, this is one of the most atmospheric games ever. This is the only game besides the original Resident Evil to actually make me nervous while playing it. Kudos to ID.
Edit - How many of you played this on an ATI card and what was your quality?
