I placed my preorder for Doom 3 yesterday, been looking at all the previews/reviews that are out on it so far and from the sounds of it it will kick ass. Anyone else picking it up?

- A 1.5-gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500.
- 384 megabytes of memory.

Yeah, chances are, I'll probably only play it on XBox.

actually they said it runs pretty good on a geforce4mx card and from the screenshot I saw doesn't look all that bad either, just it may get choppy from time to time if you have the 64mb version and less than 512 ram.

Doom3 Multiplayer is a max of 4 people. Don't know if it warrants a server, but if we need it, we can get it.

oo 4 people dude thats bs, i thought this was going to be like a upgraded ver of half life, but wiht better graphics and weapons, but basicly the same gameplay

Ummm.....no - that's Half-Life 2, due in September.

And then there is Quake 4, but that will be late '05 or early '06.

Actually Doom is not hard capped at 4 players, but to run a decent server with say 16 or more people on it it has to be top of the line. The doom 3 server will be handling all physics calculations and I believe lighting stuff too which makes it much different from previous online fps's. The multiplayer is pretty much broadband only so HPB's are SOL.

Half-Life and Doom have nothing to do with one another, besides they are both first-person shooters.

Doom 3 is coming out this wednesday? I wasn't even paying attention.

I pre-order it today also.

Beautiful screen shots. Some stores like Best Buy have already put D3 on shelves friday.

AND THEY ARE ALL GONE.
