    What!? Arey they promoting Doom3 multiplayer capabilities? Wasn't Doom3 supposed to be a single-player focused game?

    umm. you're wrong. In the article it states:

    "With DOOM 3 launching this summer, there won't be anyone who has had time to practice or master the game, and almost any QuakeCon attendee has a chance to walk away with one of the exclusive DOOM 3 prizes."

    This would imply that DOOM 3 would not be released before QuakeCon or else people there will have had some DOOM 3 practice before the deathmatch event. Since the QuakeCon date is from August 12-15, this would mean DOOM 3 is set to be released sometime after August 15. The August 3 date was based on another distributor's educated guess. It was not a statement from id Software.
