That must be it... never played 1 or 2, so I have no preconceptions about the demonic critters, and once I got that chainsaw, something in me just went click.
The screen's kinda hard to see through this mask though...

They were nasty Bug*ers in the old dooms! there attack was very powerful, 3 or 4 hits would kill you at near full health.
I can see how your mask may affect your periferal vision somewhat....
I havn't met the archviles yet, but for some reason can't remember meeting them from previous doom's. What attacks do they have so i can prepare for meeting them?
In the old doom he was the gangly silver colourd guy who made you catch on fire then blast you through the air they could ressurect dead creatures as well.. very similar to what they do in the New Doom! they can also summon Imps.
Dodge what he throws at you. Once his arm starts to swing, the projectile goes to where you are currently standing. So if you move he'll completely miss you.
Exactly, standard rule in FPS games, never, ever stop moving, unless you really really have to.
Ah ok so its not like in Doom 2 where you have to move out is sight to avoid his attack?
cheers for the tips guys!
hehehe, ok, i found this one cute, the martianbuddy site :) nice use of the web through a game :)
K.
There is also a website for the UAC ~;p
btw kreallin keep that code handy, there will be another box that uses the exact same code later in the game.
cool beans, faisal :)
ok, i got the chainsaw. lol. oh, the humanity!
K.
okay i'm back to the game - finally got a break where i have some time.
still near the beginning, but tonight i should make some progress

Yeah finally a good way to kill zombies without wasting ammo on them. Nothing is more delightful than carving through hordes of undead with a chainsaw! (makes me feel like Ash in Army of Darkness)Quote:

DUdes the best way to play DOOM 3 its at night, with the lights turned off, and decorate your house like halloween.
~:shock:
hehehe, i've been playing a bit more, but was using my crappy little speakers that came with the machine. i decided to change this and plugged in the nice, fairly expensive headphones i bought recently. wow! what a change! crank up the volume and set the graphic equalizer to heavy bass! then, turn down the lights! yeoow! what a difference and i dont even have to disturb the neighbors :)
doing this this way also gives you more sound clues as to when you're about get bit in the *ss by something ;)
K.
yeah but some of those "shocker" sounds (falling ceiling plates, etc.) have knocked me out of my chair more than once.
I'm about to start the monorail.
yup. you do sort of get 'jumpy' after a while of playing this game. monorail? man, you've been playing quite a bit. i only just got the message sent out via the satellite transmission. i couldnt unlock the monorail in the communications area. i'm now headed to the delta sector again to meet up with the marine guy and i think swan is going to be there also.... sounds like confrontation time.
K.
If you think that sounds good, you should try with surround sound... :wink: ...it's AWESOME!!! :yes:Quote:

this game got me to finally add memory. i went out this morning and bought a gig of RAM (two 512 sticks), just added it on half and hour ago and will boot up the doom in a few.
so did the ram improve your speed, frame rate at all?
i just got past the big blob things. lots of hit points there, but slow. reminded me of the marshmallow monster in ghost busters ;)
the baby things with wings give me the willies, though. i wanna just pour every bit of ammo i have into each and every one of them!
the skeletons with guided, flaming, rocket balls are a bit of a pain, but i finally found the rocket launcher, so, we're even :)
K.
you're almost caught up with me.
those cherubs really freak me out, thank god for the chaingun.
there i'm getting pretty good at the run backwards and keep firing tactic, and my other favorite is the run around behind them and shotgun them in the back of the head at close range.
aymar,
yes, this game is the first game i've seen where i've actually started comtemplating getting a surround sound rig for my machine. i could really see myself sitting over a large sub-woofer playing this game :)
soly,
you must have had some very loooong sessions to have been that far ahead of me. i'm also thinking we shld do a video of those 'cherubs' somehow. if they freak you and me out, then i know others are responding the same way ;)
K.
Yeah those evil babies are freaky little B*ggers!!! i know what you mean about wanting to unload entire clips into the critters! the hardest monsters are by far the Hell Knights and the fat gits with flame throwers! Nasty!!
Man those hell knights were a pain. I regularly used up rockets and BFG ammo on them.
Later I saved the Soul Cube charges to defeat them, a very nifty item that one! ~D
Just don't ask how many times I fought the Soul Cube Guardian to get the bloomin thing!
I still Havent found the BFG !!! Im in hell now and the difficulty is definatly upped a few notches when you get there!!! Hell Knights arnt too bad if you have room to move around but in tight spots they are nasty!
LOL :grin2: Yes. But it's not just the positional sound that is very good. The creepy, ever present, sound work is quite impressive and really ads to the immersion. In fact, it makes you keep on edge in calmer parts of the game. On the other hand, the surround sound gives you an advantage. ANY early warning is always welcome in this scary game!!! :wink:Quote:

Save the cube for the tough creatures, it can take down almost anything in one shot!
Hello,
Doom2 had coop MP, does Doom3 have that mode?
hmmm...now I'm considering getting surround sound, since I can't count the number of times I've been snuck up on from behind - despite being careful and having the volume at a good level.
just got to hell and will playthat through tonight.
With the Unmodded release there is no coop mode in doom3 as far as im aware, i did read somewhere that there may be a mod which allowed coop play but I can't remember where i saw that. I'll look around and see if i can find out.
