So far, I’m in Alpha Labs 3 on the Veteran difficulty, and I can’t say that I’m all that impressed with the game. Sure, the atmosphere is good and scary, for like the first 30 min. after all Hell breaks loose. But lights that go out, zombies hiding in corners, the voices, and demons that materialize from thin air, often times behind you, can only carry a game so far.

The flashlight is annoying as well. I’d think that with some of the technology in the game, they could have outfitted all the marines with night-vision goggles at least.

I like the effects when you’re under attack, how can’t focus and aim your attacks, but most of the AI is pretty stupid and it’s relatively easy to keep them away and out of attack range. I also like the “key” concept and the whole PDA thing – very innovative and it actually makes sense with the story.

The story so far is your typical evil corrupt corporation who plays with fire and gets burned. Yawn.

Anyways, I do not recommend that you buy this game.

Hmm, maybe all the good points I gave the game are wrong.

I don't see how it's worse than halo...

Halo has repetative level design, few enemy types, and an overused storyline (aliens trying to detroy mankind, and we're losing badly. woo, never heard that one before either), and crappy AI. Yet, people love halo, because it's still a good game. Just like Doom 3.

What kind of multiplayer does Doom 3 have, by the way.

I'm looking for good LIVE games.

Answer quickly, I have to leave in a minute.

4 - man deathmatch and team deathmatch. The multiplayer isn't anything special at all.

I guess there are mods that let you up the limit, but yes, that's the official limit.
