Well, about multiplayer, i wasnt expecting to be ALL Creep around-backstabbing action. If you have a rocket launcher, you dont really have a reason to be hiding, do you?

for all you ATI card owners

I Just Got Doom 3 Yesterday, and while i like it

both Tab and Pho are sooo right 60Fps really does suck, while for games like beat - em - ups 60Fps is fine

For First person shooters 60FPS is just too slow especially for deathmatch and it makes the single player chog somewhat

it quicker Pho, or anybody brings out a code to remove the limit the better

as at the mo, even with the hardware to run it at full pelt, it seems slower than the original doom

which is very wrong, doom has and should be about fast action and gameplay, not creeping around and waiting in the shadows

BRING BACK A PROPER, FAST DOOM

ID YOURS FANS DEMAND IT!!!!!!

I quite enjoyed the demo however on my laptop it ran at like 10fps lol. Bit I enjoyed most was walking outside on mars, that part imo was better than the rest of the entire demo. So much so that I kept killing myself just walking around outside trying to get away from the base and to go for a stroll around mars  

There's a TC in the works that remakes the original Doom 1 levels and brings back fast gameplay. They're even removing reloading, which IMO is a mistake, but if you want fast action, they got it.

One thing I know you can do is tighten the shotgun spread and damage to more appropriate non-SSG levels. I've done it myself with no knowledge of Doom 3 code just rooting around the PK4's in notepad. I also sped up plasma to not be super slow. Just stick your changed weapon definitions in a zip, rename to PK4, and make a new folder for it in the D3 directory, and you have yourself your own personal mod for playing through SP the way you want it.
(Not to be confused with your own personal jesus, even though Depeche Mode rocks. )

Well, I uploaded my version of the "shotgun fix":

http://www.geocities.com/chris_gnam/D3-Cla...sicShotguns.htm

there's 2 different mods, one to make the D3 shotgun more like the D1 single barrel shotgun (9 pellets, 8 damage), and one to make it more like the D2 super shotgun (23 pellets, 8 damage). The single barrel sounds weak, but with the tight spread you can make headshots more easily (144 damage), and do more body damage at long range. The double barrel is basically the same as the default D3 shotgun (they do almost the same total damage) but the main difference is the saturation of pellets (lots of weak pellets vs few strong pellets).

For spread, since they do the same damage, the spread for the SSG version is the same as the the default (22), then since the spread for the SSG is basically 1 unit of spread per pellet, reducing the spread of the single-barrel version proportionally is easy (9).

The main problem with spread in D3, which I think is why every hates it so much, is the spread in single player is double what it is in multiplayer. I think in multiplayer, it's pretty reasonable given the high level of damage (13 pellets for 15 damage each...195 total) and fit a damage/spread rate pretty close to what we're used to in Doom 1, 2, , Quake 3, etc. So, in addition to the spread for the modded shotguns being half the SP amount in multiplayer, I also provided 3 mini-mods for playing with the modded shotguns, as well as the default D3 shotgun,  with the reduced, half spread in single player. I think that pretty much covers just about anything you would want to do with shotguns in Doom 3.  

I don't know how you guys can even stand to play that game. It's WAY too dark, you have to have your flashlight on almost all of the time or you can't see dick. The game was uninspired anyway, it's nothing but Aliens vs. Predator with a psuedo Half-Life intro phase. The one thing I will say though, is that using bump mapping for details as opposed to unneeded polygons was a pretty smart move.

As soon as I have a chance to go out, I'm picking up Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines instead. It's thankfully finally out, and is destiend to be great... Troika games in themselves are awsome, let alone ones that use Valve's utterly beautiful engine and White Wolf's always classic RPG system... I know, you power gamers probably prefer D&D or Rifts, but I like character and story behind my PnP RPGs

BZZT! Wrong! Try again.

The brightness setting exists for a reason. Also the console command r_gamma helps.

My brightness is about 3/4 of the way up with r_gamma set to 1.1. I can see quite clearly unless the area is pitch black.

lord_malchia, what you call failure is exactly what id was going for in the first place. A remake of the original.

However, I do say it was too dark. It was so dark I eventually quit playing it. I couldn't see a damn thing, even after adjusting gamme/brightness/contrast/whatever. I eventually made it where I could see a little, but the game looked horrible.

The fact that my monitor is dark anyway doesn't help the problem at all.
