It's nice that you'll be spending a day killing things before you go to Italy.
Also, I'll be really surprised if this makes that date.,
>It's nice that you'll be spending a day killing things before you go to Italy.
Let's just call it deallocation of video memory and computer resources :)
I have been dreaming of the release of DOOM III for more than a year...
i really hope its good.
my doom III tee-shirt still hasn't come in...:(
Personally I just think id's hanging around waiting for Valve to show its hand. Then again, we'd be waiting a loooooooong time if that was the case... :rolleyes:
It's nice to have a date in mind, but frankly lots of retailers just pick dates with no real basis. I personally hope to hell it is confirmed and it is the planned release date -- I'd love to play the game, but I doubt it is.
The wait for D3 and HL2 has been a sucky one--if the mods for hl2 wern't so awsome I'd refuse to buy the game on the basis of Valve being a sucky studio for customer relations and its release date shenanigins. But frankly, I can't wait to play cs and dod on the new source engine.
w00t go me i am using the Links text browser! it r0x0rz
>>I'll be really surprised if this makes that date.,
agreed
You're going on your mission? Where to?
I'm not much of a first-person-shooter player so I don't know much about Doom, but I remember playing it back when I was like 10(which was only 4 years ago, but... you know :P)
But I remember playing Doom 1, a demo of Doom 2, and a demo of Doom 3.
Has it really taken that long for Doom 3 to come out?
Didn't Valve do a near-complete rewrite after the code was stolen a few months ago?Quote:

The entire LAN code was revised because of security issues that surfaced once the code was out and being looked at, i guess they got some tips and listened?Quote:

yeah, I heard the STEAM code for the game was also bonked. strange that they kept the source code for a multi-million dollar project on a computer directly linked to the web......Quote:

Italy Catania Mission
>will you be placing school on hold for two years as well?
yes i will be.
I bet they purposely "leaked" the source code, all part of a scheme to get people more excited about the game, and make more money!
W000 my doom shirt just came in! its awsome and it fits perfect. and it has an awsome ID software logo on the back that match the shirt perfectly.
[gay lisp]do you guys think i clash the shirt with these pants on?[/gay lisp]
so i guess they are paying the people they arrested and charged with the leak to go to jail so they wont be revealed in their little advertising schemeQuote:

no, he wasn't saying that they distributed their own code. He is saying like I said that they left security holes wide open(as I told you, they had the code on a computer that was accessed to the internet, would you do that with code that is worth multiple millions of $$$?).Quote:

a) they look like a bunch of 'tards for getting their source pwn3d
b) they are having to pay their developers more to add stuff into the game
c) people are getting miffed at the wait(i can't say it's made me any more excited about the game)
