The offical ENWorld Doom 3 reaction thread.

My only beef is with multiplayer.

Are you playing on an X-Box? I thought the PC version was single player only.

The PC version comes with like 5 mutliplayer maps, and four different multiplayer modes. But its old school, only like players to a map. I don't think the xbox version comes out until the fall.

Yeah, the tentative date for the Xbox version is Oct 4th, I think.

I think the Xbox version will have Co-op play, that is, you can go through the "campaign" together, while the PC is mostly for deathmatches.

All I can say is that the game is pretty darn scary. I've jumped out of my chair more than once. I've got a decent system and it runs great on high quality at 1024 x768 . The graphics are just amazing and the gameplay is fun.

I've been playing Doom 3 for the last few hours, and all I can say is... WOW! I'm running the game with low detail settings, and it's still the best-looking FPS I've ever played. The environments are exquisitely detailed, the mood of the game is downright creepy, and the monsters look great. I haven't tried out the multiplayer yet, but the single player game has me totally addicted already.

I can't wait to see what the cyberdemon looks like.

Anyone try this out? It's supposed to boost the FPS...

I picked up my copy this afternoon. All I have to say is wow. It's tense, gorgeous, gripping, and creepy as hell. Anyone that loves a good FPS would do well to pick Doom 3 up.

Picked it up yesterday afternoon and, much to my wife’s distress, I played it all night!
It’s fantastic and scary as hell… literally…
Really makes me want to run a DOOM3 d20 Future game…

Thanks for the tip, John! I tried that out, and now I'm running Doom 3 at medium detail quality and 800x600 resolution and it runs as smooth as silk!
