I love it. I've heard Trent loves it.

Lets see if the forums love it

DOOM II, DOOM 3 and Final DOOM as well

There addictiveness is still unsurpassed in my book. The hours i've spent playing them probably amount to years of my life. Sick and sad but true

If you have the doom 3 expansion may I suggest you give this map a try [doom3.filefront.com] I know the author and he is extremely talented, however he was picked up by the ET:QW team and hasn't done any mapping (for the community anyways) since then. The storyline was something we worked on together, it was a good deal of fun and a great map to play, I personally like it more than the entire exp for doom3, thats just me.

I played the hell out of Doom and Doom 2
I played the hell out of Quake 1-3
I grew up, got good jobs and when Doom 3 came out I was mega dissapointed...

I used to play a lot of doom. I have some source code in prboom, I think chocolate-doom too, and I was co-maintainer of the freedoom project for about five years. I've sort-of "retired" now though.

Just read today that the Heretic and Hexen source code has finally been GPLed! (that means made free)

Working on DOOM 3...some of the best graphics ever...looove it so far!!

i am currently playin doom 3 just got to hell for the first time, so far i love the game

what is that pic? I looks like somebody modded out Quake or Jedi Knight to look like classic Doom

It's Doom Legacy modification, improving graphics, with additional models

Played through Doom 1-3. Don't miss it all that much though, it was great for it's time but that was it. Maybe I was expecting more of games even then - I mean, I loved the atmosphere and the new pseudo-3D tech but at the same time I was playing oldschool Lucasarts adventure games and such, games with stories, and while mindless action certainly has its place, I guess I was already hoping for something like Half-Life - a game with both the tech and the story.

Anyways, Doom 3 was fun for one go, dunno if I'd have that much fun playing through again, I think I'd prefer a replay of Dead Space more. And yes, I know their genres (or sub-genres: shooter -> FPS, shooter -> 3rd person survival horror or however you want to classify them) aren't exactly the same but they do overlap.

So... let's see...

1: My username is the fan-given nickname of the main character of DOOM.

2: One of my favorite first person shooters STILL is DOOM one and two.

3: I try to convince people to play DOOM on the PC and not the Xbox 360 because it is a lot shittier.

No... I don't think I am a DOOM fanatic.

No! *grabs new underwear*

So, I beat Doom III on pc years ago, and thought it was awesome. The Xbox version of that game was comparatively very lame (although, still fun, it just didn't stack up to the pc version).

Anyway, so I finally got around to playing the Doom III expansion pack "Resurrection of Evil" tonight. I played it for an hour or so. ...I'm a little sad, cause I didn't remember how very, very cheap and dumb a lot of the bad guys are. Still, overall a very fun game, and I don't think ANY game is as scary as Doom III on pc. At least, that's my opinion.

Doom 4 has been announced. Carmack says it will have more in common with Doom 2 than Doom 3. Basically, he implied that it's going to be more action oriented than fear and low ammo oriented (although those moments will still be there).

Did anyone ever install the sound pack that Trent worked on? It was only partially done, but I hear that the parts that Trent did work on were awesome.

Let's see....

Doom 1&2: The ONLY reason I saved up $1000 in the middle 90s to buy a 66mhz 486 DX/2 IBM PC.

Quake 1&2: The ONLY reason I bought a PC from a friend I helped him build because quake played at 3 fps on a 486. (And on a side, the soundtrack to Quake 1 inspired two dark poems my 7th grade English teacher liked; one of them I called "Nothing Interactive Inc." after that trademark Trent used in the game).

Quake 3: Didn't need to upgrade, and still feel it was one of the best online multiplayer games ever.

Doom 3: The only reason I spent an extra $200 on graphics and CPU hardware so I could play the game on another PC I had at the time in the dark.

There were plenty of other games id Software put out that I played tirelessly in between all of these others: All of the Heretic/Hexen/Wolfenstine games, for instance.

Then something kind of strange happened... Shortly after Doom 3 came out, Half Life 2 came out. I had already played HL1 and LOVED THE FUCK out of it; the story line, the characters, the gameplay, SUPURB fucking game. When HL2 came out, it felt like it was just after Doom 3, and I have to be honest... I thought it looked better than Doom 3. The physics engine, the graphics were better, and the storyline/action aspects were still pumping way strong.

In the last few years, I've been kind of disappointed with id Software, but I still anxiously await whatever their next game might be. I've seen John Carmack show tech demonstrations of his new rendering engine, but I really wasn't that impressed. I think what he had to say about it indicated more of what it could possibly do than what he had to show at the time. And since that time, games like Crysis have come out, which I have to give two strong thumbs up to. So my only hope is that, while most of the games prior to Doom 3 WERE true trend setters (in my opinion), I hope that whatever they come out with next will have the impact Crysis had in the graphics and production quality department.

SOMEONE HELP! i think it was final doom, there was a level, it was very quiet, then a whistling sound would come up and be real creepy,anyone got it?

Sometimes I'm wondering, how D3 with TR music and sounds would turn out.

You can get the Trent Reznor sound pack which is all the sounds Trent did for the game. Makes the game a lot better imo.

Plutonia Experiment level 8 maybe? Where first shot starts non-stop monster voices which are distracting. Also cacodemon waking sound may be roughly called "whistling"
