DOOM 3 pics EARLY RELEASE!

[TuxDave]

I thought the Bestbuy Authorization was a mistake and all BBs are now told to not sell until the official release date. Something about a $200/game fine

 

[gxsaurav]

Well, If U guys already got Doom 3 early I need some help, I m from India & Doom 3 will launch here on 20 August, I need to know how many CDs it comes in, what is the installation size for full install & is there a way not to install the Multiplayer part, I don't play multiplayer. Does it have the .pk3 files like quake or something else

None of this is photochopped. People out there have copies of Doom 3. It's confirmed.

That's what I don't get. Why be jealous over a freaking game? Damn was a sad state...

Now if he were banging Jessica Alba it would be a different story.

Why is that? She's just a woman.

Stop being such an e-punk and if you don't like the thread don't post.

It's been posted a few times on Suprnova already, but from the look of the ratio I still still probably be able to buy it before it finishes downloading.

The classic

YOU THE MAN!!!

or the

Damn....you're lame trying to somehow lord the fact that you have a VIDEO GAME before anyone else here over the heads of people you don't know and will probably never meet.. Here's your cookie.

Which is it?

Actually I was responding to calls for my banishment and attacks on my credibility, do you think I CARE if you are pissed off because you didnt get it first? no. I just wanted my fellow anandtechers to maybe get it tommorow morning and share the joy with me, i didnt have to sneak out this message while on duty or waste 20 mins of game time to post screens ya know! Anyway folks check you local best buy, if they say no, TELL THE MEDIA MANAGER TO CALL HIS/HER ACTIVISION REP for authorization! YMMV may the force be with you, ITS DOOM TIME!!!

Obviously you do.:roll:

 

[cricky]

The thing that confuses me...how would it finish downloading if there arent any seeders?

The way BitTorrent works, it's possible for say 10 people, to each have a seperate 10% of the game, meaning they have the complete game between them, but none has the whole thing. Their clients then start exchanging parts until all the clients build up a complete copy. The exact situation I described doesn't happen too much(there never being a seed), but you can often download stuff without ever seeing a seed, especially if the seed is using super-effecient "super seed" mode(this is when it hides it's a seed, and acts like it's a client with a lot of rare pieces).

I just played first couple level. Graphics not too bad.

Agreed on that, but the gameplay seems so typically boring. I did expect a bit more with all the hype.

SP looks like its gonna be a lot of fun, im on UAC Administration.

My only complaint thus far is that the guns all sound and feel very very weak. I loaded up MP and it seems very plain and boring as well :\

Anyone trying to play this on a p4 2.2ghz, 768mb ram, radeon 7500, forget about it. thing runs slow as balls. time for me to go back to quake3.

That's so cool that you want to steal it. I wish I was cool like that but I think I'll pony up the $50.

Ohhh, I thought there actually had to be a "seed" too.

5 hrs in, looking good so far, the graphics and environments and gameplay dynamics are unbelievable...

 

[imported_Salvatore]

What OS is that in Pic 2? Looks like 2000 to me, or maybe a styled XP?
