Doom contributed nothing to Half Life, so I think Half Life would still be around.

Now if system shock 2 wasn't around, then we'd be in deep doggy doo-doo...

DOOM is much older than Half Life, it is grandfather of all FPS games, quake too

Yeah, but you can't compear Doom to HL. Although they are both FPS's, they're compleatly differant to each other.

Doom(the first one) Is about mindless shooting of things, where HL is more about puzzle solving and fighting tacticaly.

I remember back in 95 I used to play Doom with my Dad on his top of the range System . I used to shoot and he used to control. It was awesome!

Doom 3 doesn't like low-end systems.. I'm more excited about HL2

Man, it's about time they made another doom game.
I have doom 1 and 2... well I did, but they broke
they kicked ass too.

Heehee a doom3 thread,

i havent playd to far into the game, in fact im only at the bit where you meet the 2 headed things for the 1st time.

Its scary as hell.

Anyone who has seen the screenshots and not the game is not saw how good this thing looks!

As arch said the animations are what sets the game off. They are stunning, the atmosphere is intense. And dont just watch it play it. My friend laughed at me jumping at every concievable moment untill he got a go himself.

Yes the game is dark, and you can only hold the flashlight on its own....( THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE, not any mods )

The game is very well optimized, if you meet the minimum specs i can say this game will be playable. I dont have no fancy mutha card or 4ghz overclocked processor.

I still have my 5700 ultra, overclocked, and a 2.4ghz barton. And i am so surprised it runs smooth at 1024 x768. Occansionally it jumps a tad, maybe at some doors. But overall not enough to make me think "must turn down details"

If you have a computer and the min specs, this game is a whole new kettle of fish.

The only thing i can fault so far is lack of space, but thats how its meant to be!

Ill await half life 2, because that appears to handle outdoors better.


hmm big post?

Tactics do factor into Doom. You CAN go about blasting mindlessly at things, but you can also strafe around without being seen (pretty much your only hope of survival on Nightmare) and dodging stuff. Sure, most people don't play like that (the enemies are there so you can make them go boom.), but it can be done

I have pentium 3 730MHz GeForce 2mx and on lowest setings, it usualy dont lag

wow...

low details and lowest possible reolution? nice.

how far are you into the game arch?

i just encountered the trites for the 1st time...

Thnikkaman needs that game... if you think playing Doom 1 gives you nightmares, Doom 3... I would be practically paralyzed by Lost Souls... those flaming screaming speedy skulls zooming at you... from BEHIND... *shudders* The Doom universe just made the FPS what it is today. No game has truly recreated the evil, dark, hopeless feeling of Doom. I mean, This song is just a song that portrays the overall hopeless mood of Doom. Pretty damn genius, that game.

I came to 2nd level cos I havent playing much, I had other game to finish
But my dad came to level where some giant skulls attack you, I think comunication room
It lags more in first few levels, it is very smooth later

And you know why? Because of all the lightsources at the start. No joke, once the lights go out, it's plain sailing.

Well in terms of framerate anyway...

the lighting is what makes the game, i sat in the reception for like 10mins solid shooting a light ot make it swing, then i hit the buld and it went out.
