    have u even tried RTCW: ET. its more than running round shooting baddies, you have different classes with differnet roles and abilities. You need teamwork and skill to win a level. It blows crap like UT2k3 out of the water.

    The longer you wait the higher the expectation is going to be, call me mr 'glass-half-empty' but i have this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach that this game will definatly not own all my base.

    It will be wicked to actually see a level and see what all the hype and build up has been but at the end of the day we will all buy it just becuase it is doom3 no matter how it plays.

    For gut never lies, and at the moment it is saying, leave work, kill the database and go home.

    I know this will be trolled but i just know it will suck after all this time

    I have a feeling that the 4 player Doom 3 multiplayer is not going to be anything like the fast paced action of Wolfenstein: ET. If Doom 3 is about atmosphere, lurking down hallways, being scared out of your head, and since the multiplayer is limited to 4 players, I think that means it's going to be a very different experience.

    And in anycase, it's all BS until you actually play the damn game!
