hl2 vs doom3

which would you choose? y?

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.

what about wolf 3d? it's earlier than doom, isnt it?

Martin · **Posted:** Sun Aug 01, 2004 1:54 am

wolf 3d doesn't count.

It sucked ass.

And there were more before that.

Doom III was the first fleshed out one.

DONT DIS DOOM! OR ID SOFTWARE!!!!!!!!

1: Doom is a classic... always will be.. and is still fun.. wihtout it ur half life wouldn't have been made... it was the first FPS that ppl took attention to and it basically started the FPS generation...

2: Wolf3d sucks and was aimed at a different storyline.. blah.. think it was b4 doom

3: doom3 im shure kicks the ass outa half life2's graphics anyday...

4: i still love and play doom2 (and over a network cuz its fun) Doom95(windows app) launcher rocks <allows u to play doom1,2,tnt,plutonia plus custom WADS and play multiplayer.... so Razz

its still fun!!!!!

i have played doom2.. and half life 1.... but i will be buyign doom3 later on...

the point of doom is to save the earth from being overrun by monsters..even tho ur the last peron alive....

I'm gonna sit back for a moment to let you guess who made Wolfenstein. Then you may reflect on your previous statement.

OK.

Doom didn't HAVE a storyline.

Even though we're talking about Doom3 and HL2, fine. Half Life was all about mods, what's your point?

Screw HL2, we want CS2!!!!

Actucaly it did, it was a very odd one and had very litte input in to it other then the intro text and the ending text tho. Was about poleop making a portal to hell and one guy going in to it and so on. Very much like the sotry of half life just that it was never devloped behond the point of the start text and end text.

Mazer · **Posted:** Mon Aug 02, 2004 6:16 am

Well, if there was a story, they didn't try very hard to tell it to us.

the_short1 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 02, 2004 8:46 am

i did say wolfd 3d sucked... < due to storyline..(no monsters instead theirs those cops and stuff)

but i was not dissing the company... it was just not one of their best... they regained my vote after playing doom cuz they did a hell of a job..

Martin · **Posted:** Mon Aug 02, 2004 12:39 pm

Those cops were called Nazis.

And it's called CS:Source, not CS 2.

WTF is that? Monsters make a story, but nazis don't?
