Sound familiar? Wash Rinse Repeat. Watch money roll in

Mr.Deflok

Actually this weapon was created back when Carmack designed his physics engine, it was left out because it didn't really serve much of a purpose in the final game.

All the same, looking forward to Ressurection of Evil as I'm probably the only person on the planet who still loves Doom 3.

Redjake

Doom 3 is awesome. And that's ownage on the fact Carmack had the "grabber" thing developed before it was released. Maybe it's not-so-copy-cat

Fear not, I too love Doom 3
It doesnt surprise me that Carmack would leave it out of the final game. He only added the physics engine after he saw how much fanfare it got in other games. If I recall properly, he thought it was a gimmick that no one would care about.

does doom3 have a online multiplayer?
i think the only thing that would make me buy this game looking at all ive read about it from you guys would be some sort of deathmatch

omega2K4

It does, but its very basic and not very fun. It doesn't really have any depth, just like the single player.

As opposed to other FPS multiplayers, where you also shoot people and win.

I also loved Doom 3 and to all the people whining about about how you couldn't hold a weapon and a flashlight at the same time, they're finally addressing that this time around.

the multi player blows big time, I played it for like 5 min got bored and left the server!

Homey_V

There is Multiplayer for Doom 3. Very basic Deathmatch. I havent had a chance to play it myself but Most people I've talked to didnt enjoy it. Course, they still Prefer Rocket Arena 3 to any other MP game so take their opinion lightly....

Seriously though how many times are they going to drag on the Doom series. This is what, the 4th time they've opened a portal to hell? Will humans ever learn that, Hell=Bad leave alone.

Homey_V

Of course not! Hell markets itself very well to madmen like Betruger. See, they keep thinking they're opening a portal to the next hottest vacation spot in the galaxy, but they dont know better because they're crazy-like.

Doom 3 was a remake of the first one. It wasn't a fourth opening, it was just a different interpretation of the First Opening of Hell®.

Mr.Deflok

If I remember correctly the first one was the fault of humans opening the gate, the second was Hell still managing to get through and assault Earth. Final Doom I'm not too sure about because though I own several copies of it I've never played it.

And as Lasereth said above, Doom 3 is a retelling of one. So technically the stupid humans only opened the gates once.

And there's another interpritation of the story in the books.
What?
I only read one, stop looking at me like that.

Mr.Deflok

Weren't the demons actually aliens in the books? Like how the original Doom game was originally about a Mars base being attacked by Aliens*.

*got changed to demons after a similar game, albeit very crappy, hit the market with a very similar story

blitz.fenix

Ok so the Doom series is turning into a Star Wars nu-trilogy series?

skinnymofo

the book i read of the doom series was definately hell denizens
i had like the 2nd book of the series i think and it was the end of doom1 and about his trip back to earth only to find hell had opened a portal there too
