Doom 3 is out

[Jome]

It's all over mIRC..
Downloading the whole shit now, 3 CD's..

Good looking on the screenshots..
The Doom series is a no-brainer, it's all about guns, gore and horror.. it's not Command & Conquer or Sims or one of those cutie games..

[chronic01]

to me its like a tech demo
other developers are gonna take this engine and make some amaizng games you watch

Most likely.

I don't care much for Doom either, but I'll give it a shot anyway. (Just got some new hardware on my computer I need to "test". ) I can see how revolutionary the original was from a technical point of view, but I also prefer games to have a decent plot as well.

OK, somebody please help!

I got the REALOADED version of the game, I understand that's the real one right? (rld-d3a.bin, rld-d3b.bin, rld-d3c.bin, rld-d3a.cue, rld-d3b.cue, rld-d3c.cue)

I burned the images on CD's but the muthafuckas don't work! I get a message saying the discs are corrupted or not compatible with Windows. I also tried it with Daemon Tools (a virtual CD/DVD drive you can mount image files to) but it gives me the same message. I can't browse the CD contents or anything. Somebody have a clue what I could do or did I just waste 3 CD's?

both releases work, one you need to burn using clone cd one you don't (the one that came with the crack, keygen, and cheats is the one you don't need to  burn with clone cd)

try bit torrent, those torrents should be fast, tons and tons of people on them.

rampant what vid card do you have?

Try this. Open the cue sheet for the first Cd in notepad, and make sure it says this....

FILE "RLD-D3A.BIN" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

if it does...then makes sure the bin file name is the EXACT same  name as the name INSIDE the cue sheet like my example above.

I have a Radeon 9600. I love this card.

btw, If you go to microsoft.com they have released DIRECTX 9.0c
So if you want to get some extra performance go download that.

[T-Dogg]

Yep, it says that and all the filenames match... I don't think I could've even burned 'em on CD's if they didn't match. Thanks for trying though.

I just got a Radeon 9800 Pro on my system, I need to test the muthafucka!

[Montana00]

where did you download it?

you should try getting it through bittorrent.

[Entreri117]

Rampant...9600se, 9600 pro, or 9600 xt?

[Montana00]

just the regular 9600.

honestly, i wouldnt even waste the extra bucks on the Se, XT, or whatever. For the amount of extra money youd pay its nto worth it.

ive been playing doom on medium setting (could go high by why bother it looks good on medium) and it runs extremly smooth no lag. Its really a very good video card.

and it had tons of rebates so i got it for a steal.

just a note about the gameplay...

altho scary in places... the original doom really excelled in deathmatch.. so much so that it the words deathmatch which it was first to use are still being used later on.

i remember playing doom (and doom 2) LAN games for days on end about 10 years ago when i was at college.

i used to be a really really good glquakeworld player... i've not played for 5+ years tho

Got it through DC++.

I'm trying the torrent, but it's not exactly superfast. At this speed I'll be done in mere 200 hours. Or do you know of a better torrent?

[Entreri117]

DC++ didn't work well for me...noone ever shared their stuff with me, which pissed me off.  The only program I have to download shit off is LimeWire...which is decent if you can find a file w/ enough people sharing it.

[Montana00]

just go on suprnova and search for doom 3....

[Jome]

Try #d3 or #doom3dcc on Efnet or #rap-albums on Rizon (on mIRC).. good speeds

Damn, it's laggy..
I have a Athlon 2000+, 512MB Ram, and a 9800 Radeon PRO gfx-card, but I have to play it on 1024x768 and medium graphics to play it without lag.. 

Guess I gotta invest in more RAM and a better CPU to get more out of it..
