Man , I wish I had gotten a copy of the beta that was floating around. Now, most of em are virus loaded, sigh. Looks like it'll be a hoot! Hope insta-unlagged, or at least unlagged is a mod which comes out as soon as the game... looks cool!

Well, slightly off topic... but i couldn't be bothered with a new thread, i just downloaded a beta version of doom3, only a few levels to it, but it looks quite cool. And it made me crap my pants...... It a bit clunky in places, but i guess they still got work to do, lol, clunky...wtf does that mean I go turn the lights up full and cower in the corner now... and maybe formulate some sort of plan as to why i'm gonna NEED that new graphics card in a few months
If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done

I downloaded the "leaked" Alpha release of Doom III last January. I managed to get through the levels only in "God" mode as I only has 15fps and I hadn't even played Q3 yet, so I was rather crap. Still, it occasionally went up to 50fps and I was really scared. I mean REALLY scared - the shadows move and your hear noises around the corner and the detail just creates such an intense atmosphere of suspense and anticipation. Think Alien (networks of metal pipe-enclosed tunnels) and you're just getting started. When you soot someone the bullet marks the spot where yout sot. So you can shoot dot-to-dots in the monsters until they fall over, but then they get up again and tear your throat out! Sadly my hard drive died last summer, so I haven't got it any more.
I don't think there's a release date yet. I was hoping it would be out last Spring, then they said Autumn, then Christmas, then this May, now it looks like Christmas 2004.
