I just don't see how Doom 3 can compete with UT2k4

:up: . I've always been a Doom fan, and I'm sure most of us who have played FPS would know of it or experienced it first-hand. I would buy Doom 3 doesn't matter if it's good or not. It's a legend, and deserve to be on a collector's shelf. The same goes for UT2004, UT2005, etc. It doesn't matter if UT2004 is good or not, I'd buy it, because I'm a fan. I'm one of those who build their computer just to play these kind of games, namely Doom 3.

I won't be buying HL 2 however. The gameplay style is too rigid to me. Don't flame me; this is my opinion, you guys don't have to believe the same.

Just forget Doom3 and buy Farcry. The game looks very promising to me and already has a large mod community prior to its release. I wonder how the editor compares to the one of UT2004. So far, i like the idea of implementing large watersurfaces into maps which allows the use of boats...

Don't worry, i'm still gonna buy UT2004 'cause for me, it's THE MULTIPLAYER reference. The netcode seems to be VERY stable from what i've experienced so far...

Maybe that per poligon collision detection takes more cpu power from the server. There was a rumor that also said that the server will run at 60 fps, that's 2-3 times more than quake3. Perhaps that's the reason to limit mp to only 4 players. Anyway, till the game comes out everything is a rumor.

Duron 800, 256RAM, GF4MX -> a fight in aztec in the water(cs 1.5) with more than 5 players in visual range => 30 fps average.
And in CS 1.6 your video card needs an upgrade also.

your PC is one messed up rig pal

I used to be able to run 1,5 on a 200 mhz 32 MB ram voodoo1-powered POS

Doom3 is probably meant more on the single player side, but ask good ol John Carmack.

The Doom Community nowadays mainly map for SP. This would probably be the same with Doom3.

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, anyone?
While not a 100% FPS (only 50% of the multiplayer), I think its multiplayer can compete with the other big games.

UT2K4 and SP:PT - those are the games I'm getting.

folks

9/10 people who buy doom3 will buy other games they think look cool - and if they are a gamer who invested in the rig to play doom3 they will buy ut2k4 and hl2.

but again, doom3 is a single player phenomenon that is greater than any other game title.

hard to compare even to hl2

A more fair question would be "how will doom3 deathmatch compare to ut2k4 deathmatch?"

Thing is, everyone always sees it as being just a standard, quake 3 style deathmatch only....this is incorrect. It will be a deathmatch much more in the vein of something like Thief, with reliance on shadows and stealth, lurking in the corner of rooms, going into rooms and turning of the lights and hiding. It could probably end up being quite campy though.

I always feel like some people hope for a game to be ****, simply for one reason or another....like someone will say "doom3 will be **** because its made by id software, which i dont like because blah blah blah, only id fanboys will like it blah blah blah". I just dont get this attitude. Surely all should hope for a game to be good, no matter who makes it, simply coz it will give u, the gamer, some entertainment.

Ive pre-ordered 2k4, i will buy doom3, and will prolly buy half life 2, if and when it is released. Im pretty sure i will enjoy all 3, and each will have areas of gameplay where they excel over the others.

That was an old rumor that got dispelled... it's not going to have 4 players max . It's not going to even SCRATCH the UT series whatsoever, so we have nothing to worry about.

[legacy-teh roxxors]

Oh, come on!!! Deathmatch with a maximum of three other players is gonna rule!!!

Surely, people will get tired of all the vehicles, 24-player games, and such once they can play deathmatch with three other people!

Doom 3 will have multiplayer. Remember what they presented at quakecon?

[legacy--=SmileY=-]

Counterstrike 2 will split up the CS community

Quake 4 will "not be the same as q2/3" and you will get something similar to UT and UT2k3 difference..

Doom 3 .... heh, singleplayer... not even discussing that low-polygon over-its-time POS

stalker.... I dont think the multiplayer will be anything different to what other games offer.. this will be a nice sp experience..

painkiller... will be a modest game... probably always plenty of servers to frag on but it doesnt have a base like UT and Quake

UT2k4 is somewhat a straightened out mistake named UT2k3 and a game that most people know to appreciate and will be a good succes... whatever UT2k5 will have, it will also be a succes

I just had to reply....

Now listen... I really like teamwork and thats why ONS (and CTF) is my thang. The special feeling when a good teamwork really works is fantastic, gettin' orders or requests and try to do it is fun. Screaming for a pickup or a medic and actually get a response is cool. And the demo really rocks. I had no problems what so ever. I have preordered UT2k4 SE and im really looking forward to give it a go'. Im also gonna buy Battlefield Vietnam cuz its also depending on teamwork. And B1942 was great fun and the graphics was very nice too. I think the Raptor should have a seethrough canopy. Also HL2 sounds interesting if it ever comes, but i dont have any interests for D3, but the screenshots i have seen are quite nice i, but the time for corridor shooters are over. Teamwork is the big thing nowdays imho, and it dosent get any better than Unreal and Battlefield. Im a huge fan of both. The gameplay is superfast in UT2k4 and i need a lot of practise to stand a chance against all the other players on the net. Sometimes i just shoot and shoot and the opponent wont die.. and i just get hit a single time and dies instantly.. I didnt suck as much in UT2k3, but still.. the new UT edition rocks big time! I started making my very first map to UT2k3 but got lost in the "decolayer"-thing.. i followed some tut's and i never got it to work. Im gonna start all over again when i get UTT2004 LoL

well.. thats all i had to say.. (for now)
