    so does this tie in with the Doom3 release date, or what? Will these ppl have played D3 deathmatch before then, or will it be sprung upon them there?

      Well, amazon lists the release date as August 3rd...
      As an interesting aside, if you do a search for doom 3 on their main page, one of the "featured links" is a 3d stripper you can talk to
      Damn, and me without a wintel computer...

    Let's hold a huge convention featuring cash prize tournaments based on a piece of software that is testing new video card technology, has taken years to design and build, is probably going to be so massive that we'll need to ship it on DVDs, and won't even have been on the shelves for two weeks.

    And just to make sure all of our eggs in one basket, let's drop support for any of the team-based competition games set in WWII even if they do seem to be kind of popular right now.

    Awesome.

    Hats off to iD's Doom3 QA team... ya'll must really have your stuff together to make them feel comfortable enough to do something like this.
