playing Doom II i got all the way upto the final stage. i remember even shootin the inside of the walls forehead where the monsters were coming out from. after numerous times of failing i find out later in the walkthrough what i was suppose to do. the process to finish the stage was a fucking joke nobody can figure that out on their own.

You can do the end level without cheats. The hard thing is firing a rocket down a narrow passage without having it explode on the wall rather than it's target, romero's impaled head (idclip to see it).
Questions:
how many difficulty levels?
are there some sort of "mission objectives" (other than typical find key, hit lever etc ones)?
are there major bosses?
does the player's speed feel relatively slow (in doom2 the player was running cartoon road runner style everywhere)?
um...

This is finishing it's download at home as I type. OH BABY! There was about 6 hours of downloading left with a share ratio of 0.98.
So I can start twatting around on it tonight without feeling guilty about not having shared it.
If it's good then I won't cancel my pre-order. If it's not then i will. BAM!

i would buy this, but i'm going to canada in two weeks and i'm running tight on cash... so, i'm gonna need to live vicariously through you guys for a month or so.
i'm curious to see how it runs on senior horsefactory's machine, since it's so similar to mine.

I've told myself that I won't download it but I probably will... tonight in fact. I'm guessing about 30fps average, with the 9600 letting the rest of the system down. I'm probably gonna get an x800 soon, I just need to decide which is the best one to go for.

truth be told, i've not been much of a gamer, so i went light on the videocard, but as d3 got closer and closer i got more curious.
now i'm sorta kicking myself for skimping.

href="http://www.pcwcomponentcentre.co.uk/invt/bfgr68256gto is the one, right? I just think that although nvidia have got the edge over ati for doom3, the x800 will be better overall.

I jsut got my 9800 Pro. Only as a holding graphics card until I know which is the best for HL2. BAM! The 9800 will suffice for now. Shit, I got a benchmark at 300fps on something, what more can I wnat?

The Xbox version has co-op over Live, and I hear the modding community has done/will do the same thing for the PC version. And I'm pretty sure there's deathmatch. Don't worry about that.

i have a laptop, 2.66ghz p4, 512mb ram (best kind of ram, whatever that was at the time 6 months ago), 64mb G4,
I can run UT2004 with maxed out graphics on 1024x728, I believe I will be able to run Doom 3, but I don't expect it to look too great.

what does "Copy over the Cracked Exe from CD1 located in the /Crack dir" actually mean?

Browse the CD. It sounds like there should be a '/Crack' directory (folder).
Inside there is probably some sort of cracked .exe, you probably have to copy it off the cd into your Doom 3 directory

There's a Doom3.exe in the crack directory. Copy that over the top of the one in the directory it installed in. Otherwise it'll ask for the CD.

I haven't played it yet, because a fuck load of work went into making this game, and for once I'm going to do the right thing and buy it rather than just ripping off hundreds of hours of hard work... besides mostly every game I currently own is stolen/pirated so I figure I'll buy something for a change (this goes for HL2 as well).

I'll be buying it for sure now though. Everything works sweetly. I'm going to check what it looks like on Ultra Quality tonight. I put the setting on there and it said it didn't recommend it. I said OK anyway. You have to restart though and I just wanted to play straight away last night.

I tried to download it, but the torrent (DOOM3-RELOADED) said you needed to register at torrents.lv - I tried but they only accept registrations from that domain. I'm probably just being dumb but I'll wait until it's out now, I'm gonna get that 6800GT OC as well.

lokitorrent has it and I got it from somewhere called the piratebay. I can't remember the address of that one. You don't need to register but it seems you download faster if you od. The site is in German or something. I can't remember but you an login as giginger with the password ginger. I made it that because its simpler yo! If only all passwords were that simple.

damn! It seems like they've gone "ooh! we've invented a new way of doing lighting in games! let's overuse it!" and then they've probably forgotten about the rest of the game... sad when things like that happens... I've played many games and seen many movies that suffer from this syndrome...
