Been having a bit of a run around Doom 3 this evening (after finally getting it to run under Vista... And suffereing bleached everything else :/) and am finding the deathmatch quite good fun :)
Anyone else still got this game and maybe fancy having a bit of a play at some point?
Depending on how long it takes Pieanchips to sort his update then I may well actually have a go at the single player game tonight, but think I need to remap the keys as they're somewhat different to what I normally use :/
I only ever had an acquired copy as I only wanted it for the single player. Good fun though, could be very atmospheric.
Got a standalone server running on my server at work. You'll need the 1.3.1 patch for Doom: Nab Here (http://bliss.paulgraydon.co.uk/d3.exe)
then in game go to multiplayer, and in the bottom left enter the IP as bliss.paulgraydon.co.uk
Yes we'll ignore how thats actually a host name and not an IP..
Connect to it and use the password "monkey".
Word to the wise: If you're having performance problems on your NVIDIA card, go to the Nvidia control panel, find the profile for Doom 3 and change vsync to "force off".
Yeah I got quite into it but never completed it as Quake 4 came along and stole my attention. Then COD2 stole my attention and of course COD4 now has my undivided attention. I don't quite have the time to get back into it at the moment, but I might dust it and see how it goes. :)

Despite the poor reviews Domm3, I thought it a great game. Although not the best, it's immense atmosphere basically scared the ****e out of me.. Especially one night, when Teresa banged on the window next to where I was playing haha
Yeah with the sound turned on loud it does get a little jittery! :o

Never tried MP but I'd agree that the SP campaign was a good romp. :cool:
I never understood why it got such poor reviews. :huh:
