hl2's got a cool gravity gun, and it's got a good story line, doom3... it has stupid monster designs

I don't like the fact you could throw bugs.... and then they attack you and then you squash them...

Hmm... a bit biased are we?

Yet I do agree, just for different reasons. I don't much care for the weapons, but I do like that there was a point to Half Life. The whole point of Doom was "You're the last guy and they're aliens, here's some guns -- you know what to do."

I see Doom3 as more of a "Hey lets see how many special effects we can cram into a piece of junk!" Because even though it looks incredible, I doubt that it will be much fun.

I see Half Life2 as more of a "Man, those geeks sure loved Half Life... let's make a sequel. Hell, let's make it look pretty too."

I see Mazer as shut the fuck up.

Doom 3 is a classic. The first "real" first person shooter. This is a tribute to it. Find me a gamer that hasn't heard of Doom.

Their goal with doom III is to make it scary as hell. It has the most sophisticated graphics and physics engines to date, moreso than Half-Life 2 for sure. Now, as a downside, multi-player is extremely limited simply because of the number of things that have to be sent back and forth between the client and the server. Doom III supports 4 people.

I read the PC Gamer review for it. 94%. Some of the stuff that they talked about in it was just amazing. A few more days and you'll see for yourself.

ID Software hasn't let me down yet, I don't see why you think this is going to be crap.

wolf 3d doesn't count.

It sucked ass.

And there were more before that.

Doom III was the first fleshed out one.
