Dragonmaster, everybody knows that Half-Life was the first game that did the "you play the game when everything starts out fine, and then goes to hell". It was a great intro, no doubt, but now every game does it. Even fucking Red Faction ripped it off, and that game was shit. If Doom 3 does that, they are aping Half-Life. That's all there is to it. Its not a small detail, its an entire, huge, storytelling device they are copying.
Now stop being an idiot.
Anyways let's get back to more talk about Doom 3. Such as how far in the game until the plasma gun makes it's appearance?
Im alot further in now, and the game is still freaking sweet in alot of places and its very fun...but it seems to be getting a little stale now - both enviroments and gameplay. Somebody commented on all the servers being maxed out at only 4 players, i think thats as high as it goes - it says it on the back of the box. The mods are where the good multiplayer will be.
And yea its true, they totally jocked Half-Life's style on this one. Doom3 wont have anything on Half-Life 2 from what ive seen so far.
Its also significant to note that Doom 3 has a totally new online architecture - its peer-to-peer, not the client-server that has been the norm since.... well, Quake. I read that Carmack wanted to do that for Quake III but they opted to old off until this one.
It was fun. :(Quote:

They reverted to client/server
Also, I'm playing through again on Veteran now - I'd strongly recommend anyone who hasn't started to play on this difficulty.
Nightmare is @#*$ rediculous...
Whoa shit that's odd.Quote:

I'm curious to see how peer-to-peer would (could?) work well.
I'm hearing something about 4 enemies on screen max...
Someone tell me it's wrong. Please. That is not Doom.
Can't say I have seen more than 4 enemies on the screen at once. But I'm only in Alpha section 1 sooo....
Doesn't mean they don't come in such a succession you don't even notice the difference.
I'm not out of the Alpha section either, and I think I've seen 3 at once so far. You don't come across (at least I haven't) big ass rooms where you could get a horde of demons at you. It's much more confined and they don't come from one direction and usually it's in a dark area where your not sure where they are coming from. At 3 demons you have your handsful as it is (and I'm doing Easy diff. too). Seeing that big fourlegged dog thingy for the first time was sick too. Tried to get me by busting through a iron door, and when that didnt work he charged through the fucking window to get to me.
I can't wait to reach hell, that shit should be nuts.
