My current experience with these guys leads me to believe they are the reason Doom3 has been delayed I play their mod Q3F (quake3 fortress) and they only update their site every 7 months or so and it takes them about a year or two to come out with a patch. They make maps that are pretty but suck for gameplay and have bad fps i hope they are getting wiser i havent played ET since i have 56k at home but i just hoped they had learned something

Nothing to see here

A chance to play 4 player deathmatch? Wow! Seriously vanilla dm is pretty much dead these days because most people have grown tired of the rehashed gameplay. I think most people are looking forward to D3 on a new engine/atmosphere level. I think when D3 finally comes out it'll be hot at first but once the newness wears off and if it's only vanilla dm/ctf people will tire of it quickly.

If the mod community comes out with the normal quake type mods then it will extend the life of D3. Rocket Arena D3, Instagib D3, and the like. ID would really do themselves a favor by putting vehicles in D3 because these days it's become the norm and makes for better gameplay. I still say Q2 is their best game to date.
