Doom 3

Howdy =)

Has anyone played Doom3 recently? Just installed it as I fancy playing through it again, and I'd like y'all to recommend some mods!

There's a million kajillion mods, so someone must know which are the best of the best

the light mod or its to scary

Just play it as is. If you use mods to get the flashlight all the time, it ruins the experience.

And the addon pack is pretty good as well. I absolutely loved Doom 3, and i'm probably in the minority but I think it knocked HL2 into a cocked hat.

currently playing through the expansion, then i can see what its like online and add some mods!

with you on that, HL2 was poor, doom 3 was brilliant, though most people say im an idiot and i don't know a good game when i say that, was better in everyway

also the addon is cool, the grabber is neat to give hell knights a taste of there own medicine :rolleyes:

Doom 3 was good while it lasted, albeit a touch too 'on rails'. Quake 4 was better.

I liked it generally but it got a whole lot better when you got the Soul Cube. I love playing with that weapon. Best weapon, ever!

Agreed, i had very high expectations of both games and only 1 delivered

Doom3 was rubbish, Half Life-2 was brilliant. The annoying "walk around in pitch black with a gun or have light and be defenceless then something jumps out at you" was bloody annoying

Never got into doom3, just didnt entertain me, HL2 on the other hand did, and i found it amusing etc. HL2 is just more of a mainstream game

Quake4 though, definately agree with you here, definately enjoyed more than D3, i may have even enjoyed it more than hl2, i loved the story etc!

I know every single person on this board is entitled to their own opinion, and I respect that, but in every single possible way Half-Life 2 was the better game. From a technical to a gameplay point of view, Doom just doesn't factor.

Tute · 25 Jan 2008 at 00:29

I just didn't find Half-Life 2 immersive at all, whereas Doom 3 grabs me and pulls me in.

It just does everything it tries to do so much better than Half-Life 2 does.

Tbh Doom got very very repetitive and boring later though, HL2 changed all the way through which pulls it IMO, although I agree HL2 (and 1) are overrated.
Quake 4 was undoubtedly better than D3, at least it added some variation.

Meh, would have been nice to leave Stroggos for a bit... like in Quake 2. But yeah, really enjoyed Quake 4. I walked into GAME and there it was, on the shelf... I had no idea it was even being developed. I have no idea how I missed following it's development!

The whole torch or gun thing was really cheap. This is a futuristic marine, but he can't find a rifle with a light attachment, can't find something to tie or stick a gun and torch together and can't even hold two at once... Just a cheap way to make the game scarier.
