Ok I've played it for an hour or so and I just feel like voices some thoughts.
1. The cartoonish weapon icons they brought in from Q3 don't fit well.
2. I like the fact they hide weapons and items out of view like Q2
3. Bringing back some characters from Q2 and updating them is cool.
4. Having people hand you new weapons instead of you finding them is not as fun.
5. I don't know what other people are thinking, the only thing this game has in common with Doom3 is the engine. Sure everything is going to look similar because of that fact.
6. I think the recommended requirements are overrated. I'm playing above what they recommend for my computer and it runs great.
7. So far I'm enjoying it, it definately keeps with the spirit of Q2 (though sometimes you forget you are playing a quake game, not gritty enough), and in my mind that's a good thing.
