Romp; Escee was referring to the rips available on the net.
The "warez" version you were asking of...
And I suggest the same as him, get the Reloaded release if you can cos it's the best quality available.

| The BBC reports that thousands of illegal copies of the game are downloaded the weekend before the PC shooter finally hits stores. Just days before the game was set to hit US stores, pirated versions of Doom 3 began to appear on peer-to-peer networks and newsgroups. While such occurrences are nothing new--illegal copies of games often appear before their release--the scale of the Doom 3 piracy is far wider than normal. The BBC is reporting that thousands of copies of Doom 3 were downloaded over the weekend. At one point, the network's technology correspondent Alfred Hermida counted 50,000 peer-to-peer users downloading the 1.5 GB game--$2,749,500 worth of software at Doom 3's $54.99 sticker price. Other reports put the figure between 30,000 and 20,000--$1,649,700 and $1,099,800 of software, respectively. Whichever figures are accurate, it is clear the piracy of Doom 3 is costing developer id Software and publisher Activision millions of dollars. However, it was unclear what steps the publisher was taking to stop the piracy, given that it had not commented as of press time. |
enjoy kiddies
but the pirating kiddies dont get the seriously cool figurine that comes with the game 
*sarcasm*
and just found out that the horrible funky techno crap i got from vinylwarning wasnt my fault, so i now get the prettiness that i ordered. ahhhh, has been a good day.
80mins til real hell is escaped and scary, doom hell is unleashed...

Doom 3 has some serious problems: you move too slowly. its too dark. theres not enough ammo. the shotgun takes too long to reload. there are too many monsters. the game doesnt ship with extra special brown rubber safety underpants.
AvP had the advantage of stealing the aliens & predators from famous & scary films to help create a scary atmosphere, whereas doom does this with real creativity and intense atmosphere. the game, even on the crappy setting above, looks gorgeous and it really helps draw you in. everything else before now looks cartoonish and amateurish.
simply put, the game is incredible and measures up to all the hype. maybe im a lil girl, but it scared the crap out of me from the moment i got my first weapon. couldnt play it all night coz i wouldve kept my flatmates up from all the screaming i was doing.
the only criticism i would make was that sometimes things feel a little too scripted (thus predictable) yet even when you know whats going to happen this doesnt help ya from jumping like a mo-fo when the beasties jump out at ya.
on the above settings the game is as smooth as a 17yo princess. no problems at all, and everything still looks great.
PC powerplay reckons its the best single player FPS ever, and thus far, i certainly would have to agree. cant wait til 5pm so i can go home and load her up again.
Can't wait to LAN this on the weekend 
Has anyone played online? It seems real laggy. Maybe a lot of people are running non-dedicated servers.
YEY!!!! I have a job now..
Which leads to money
Which leads to computer upgrade (among other things)
Which leads to much Doom 3 action.
Btw.. to anyone who wants to get the full experience out of the game and go multiplayer on LAN.
I strongly suggest you attend 'ExtremeLAN' Clearly the best LAN gathering Melbourne has to offer. (Sorry interstaters)

Decided to get Rainbow Six 3 first 
ill get Doom3 later.... i wonder if it wil lrun on my AmdXP 2800?
That CPU will run it fine.... but the game needs more than just a CPU to run.

where do you get them?
i agree with the best single player fps ever comments. Just finished, id say it took me 12-14 hours to finish.
My only complaints are the weapon sounds, they sound pretty weak and spawning monsters behind you after you have walked past an area. Other than those 2 things the game is fantastic, certainly made me jump a lot of times. Delta labs 3 and 4 = freaky.
Runs nicely on my system (2.4, 9800pro, 1gb ddr333) at 1024x768 on medium quality and the game looks amazing.
i got it loaded and running at about 10 fps on my celeron 1.1 and geforce mx 440
just so i could see what it looks like
n yes, the shotgun n rocket launcher sound weak as shit, so does machine gun!
Other than Half Life 2, the other game that i think will probably be a great contender is F.E.A.R.
Fark!! can't get over the screens and movies

hey escee, have you got the Radeon 9800 pro? how is the 9600XT in comparison? obviously it's lower but how big of a difference in graphical performance if you know.
the 9600XT is great cause it comes with a free copy of Half Life 2 , well when it gets released
BTW, anyone with AMD Athlon 64, i heard that the CPU gets hot fast, is this true? is the Athlon good for any other stuff other than games?
ive read a bit on athlons last few weeks.
the 64s outperform prescotts for gaming and for a fair bit of other stuff.
i was initially very biased towards p4, but the A64s are better.
taken from anand tech;
haha, i thought u typed "goes hot fast" as in speed.
i think they are pretty cool tbh.
the prescotts run hot.
no seriously escee. my first action upon our inaugral meeting will be to hoist your underpants ABOVE your head and then tuck them back in your pants BEHIND you.
dont worry, my 2nd action will then be, to kiss.
I'll be upgrading my comp soon, and building another for a friend.
I have a spare Dell P4 2.0 sitting around, so gonna sell that.
- Athlon64 3000-3200 seems to be the way to go at the moment. On an
- Asus A8V Deluxe MB with WiFi.
- Can't decide between a Radeon 9800 Pro or the Radeon x800, There's $200 difference between them.. so it might come down to the dosh.
- 512MB DDR 3200
That should run Doom3 comfortably.
I've been told to be careful of the ATI graphics cards as their OpenGL Support (Doom3) is not as good as NVidia's, and one of my friends has been having trouble with his comp locking up during Doom3.

don't bother with the 9800 pro, if you want to save the money when the time comes for you to purchase your parts, go for a 256mb 9600XT over a 9800pro.
the asus a8v deluxe mobo supports 939-pin cpus. AMD Athlon 64s (not the FX's) come in either 939-pin (3800+ & 3500+) or 754-pin (the others).
the FX-51 comes in 939-pin, and the FX-53 can be found in both 939-pin & 940-pin.
I acquired a copy of D3 about a week ago;
got mine today,,, been scaring the pants off me since!
