DOOM 3 Duct Tape Mod [Aug 06, 2004, 10:02 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A quickie Duct Tape modification
for DOOM 3 is now available. The mod addresses the absence of this essential
tool and provides the ability to attach your flashlight to your machine gun.
So Quake multiplayer was mediocre?
Sure, single player was, but I think Quakeworld deserves to be called more than mediocre. Especially when the choice was between 16 player Quakeworld online or 2 player DN3D over a direct modem connection.
Quake 2 was a beautiful engine, and again a mediocre yet solid single player game, yet again immensely fun multiplayer.
Quake 3 was one of the first games to feature solid bots, giving you a rudimentary yet satisfying co-op experience. Wasn't better than UT, but it was still worth owning when my roommates and I wanted to play a low-ping game on the same team.
And Doom 3... mediocre? No. And you'll just pass this off as the engine, but it's more - the lighting. Can you say revolutionary? No game has had lighting like this before, it's always been faked. We finally have true dynamic lighting, such an enormous leap forward.
I think id gets knocked heavily when they shouldn't. They are the technology kings, and all their games have been worth owning (with Quake 3 being the worst of the bunch).
Lest we forget id is the first to really SPAWN a mod community, which has been a major part of their plans since Quake. I don't see how you can complain about a company making their game very easy to change. You think that wasn't intentional?
