I have a pretty good comp for games, but my video card (9200 SE) can't run a game like Doom III.  I'm betting you need at least 2 ghz, 512 ram, and a 128mb video card (one of the newer ones).

I'm waitin for the Xbox version...same with Half Life 2.

[Montana00]

looked these up for you guys

Recommended Doom 3 System Specs
# 2GHz CPU or equiv Athlon
# 512MB of RAM
# Radeon 9800/GeForce FX 5600 and up
# 5 channel sound card with speakers (Sound Blaster Audigy 2)

Supported Video Cards for Doom 3:
GeForce 3/4/4MX/FX/6800
ATI Radeon 8500/9000/9200/9500/9600/9700/9800/x800

Basically, IMO, anything under a radeon 9800 (or 9600 xt) or a geforce 5600 will work like absolute shit...or will be too bad to even wanna try to play it.

I been thinkin of upgrading to a 9600 xt for Far Cry and Doom III...need the job to get the money to pay for it tho.

its runs good on my 9200se on medium quality which still looks pretty damn good
but ive seen other screens which look crazy as hell

[T-Dogg]

Where did you guys get it from? I had my computer on all night last night and I only got 3,2% of CD 1 done so far.

[Montana00]

All these screenshots were taken from my computer.

P4 2.4ghz
768mb Ram
1024x768 (Screenshots resized to 800x600)
Game set on medium quality (Low<Medium<High<Ultra)

Now to get ultra settings (thats the settings for those ultra good looking screenshots that doom makers were showing) you'd need a compute made by nasa.



Before i started the game i assumed this game would be a senseless shooter, with no objective, but to just kill and get to the end of the level. It turns out i was right, but thats not always a bad thing. Basically in Doom 3 they give you a basic story plot, which is these little demom heads are turning everyone on mars into demons, and for some odd reason they didnt get to you.  So basically, your just running through each beautiful level going on a killing spree. I myself, am not a fan of senseless shooter, but i know alot of people like tis kind of game.



The graphics are top notch, best ive ever seen, even on low setting the game still kicks ass. Good lighting effects, and well made envirements. The sound is also exceptional. Realistic weapon sounds, and envirement sounds. The music is awesome for this type of game. The game gets kind of freaky when the lights shut off and you hear some zombie voice, with some messed up music in the backround.

This game is more of a person by person to see who'd like it. If your into stunning visuals and shoot 'em up games, then this is the game for you. But for me personally i think the game is extremely boring. All you do is run around through hallways killing the exact same monsters, trying to find keycards to open doors to do the same thing again.

Graphics: 9/10
Sound: 9/10
Fun Factor: 6/10

Where are you guys downloading the game?  I have Ares and Limewire...

[white Boy]

kinda gay, i like games with plots... good plots, like resident evil ..

[hector]

kinda gay?  lmao!  Doom fucking revolutionized gaming.  Those screenshots look dope as fuck.  I don't have a good enuff computer I don't think, but I'll try anyways.  so did you d/l this off irc?  and does it work fine?

[Montana00]

Doom is a very unique game. Half of the people who play it think its boring, and the other half think its a genius game. Its person by person. However there is no denying its graphic beauty.

I downloaded it off of bittorrent. Im sure you could get it off irc, the correct version of doom is called "Reloaded." thats the working version.
