Online registration for QuakeCon 2004 has begun at www.quakecon.org, and the event is free to all attendees."

    Doom 3 will be out at least a few weeks before QuakeCon.

  2. Leaked beta? by Raztus · · Score: 0, Redundant

    From their site: "DOOM 3 Deathmatch is coming to QuakeCon 2004, and there has never been a more level playing field. With DOOM 3 launching this summer, there won't be anyone who has had time to practice or master the game..."

    What about the leaked betas out there? I havn't spent the time to download them and see if they're real, but there's two downloads of Doom III Beta 2 on suprnova.org. I'm willing to bet that, if those are real, some planning to attend this event are already practicing.
