Doom one 4 players Doom 3 4 players.... Did you know?

[mayro]

Im currently typeing a speech on ID software and just got the point of typeing out the information for doom one. Ive never really played doom one becuase i get VERY car sick from playing doom one and two. As i was going through and typeing what doom did for mile stones though i noticed that doom one was the first game to offer multiplayer. The multiplayer that was supported in doom at its release was 4 players. Doom 3 is a clone or upgraded version of Doom one if you will. I think the reason besides the fact that game is a beast to run in its self, Is they are haveing it set for 4 players for symbolic reasons... Doom 3 is Doom one.

Didnt know if anyone else made the connection hehe.

Well i like a good old classic dm every now and then. And i do think they are making a conenction because d3 is basiclly a remake of the first doom

that was the whole idea.
Doom3 is a retelling of the original DOOM, they arent hiding that fact.
the deathmatch is supposed to be frenetic and cool, but the focus is on the SP experience.

i heard the opposite...i heard its very slow and tense like hiding in the shadows, turning lights off and such...WHO KNOWS

hehehehe, I dought that very much

Have you ever played an ID game where you stand still to stay alive? Pritty much all of them if your not moving your already dead

They told in an interview that the speed in MP was alot quicker then in SP

In DOOM³ you can sprint for a couple of seconds untill your stamina meter is empty, and its twice as fast as walking, so I guess in MP running is on default, liek in quake 3, where you need to press shift to walk

AHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein 3d were all CREATED with speed in mind. If id makes a game where you use stealth rather than bum-rushing, I'll stick a foreign object into my body.

Except I won't really, so don't take me up on it.

 

[Eywanadi]

I hear Doom 3 has Strafe jumping, ramp jumping, and double jumping like Quake 2 had. I hope this rumor is ture because it would make the skill roof in the game higher.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Yeah, bunnyjumping and stuff is fun.

Bit off topic, but wanted to respond.

I haven't met too many people who get this way, but I too get very car sick Doom 1-2 especially made me queasy while playing or even just watching. Actually, all fps's I can only play for so long before having to take a break. Ahh well...will make Doom3 and HL2 last longer I guess

for me it only happens with Doom1 and 2.. and it doesn't happen all the time.. just some times.. its so un-explainable really.

i never get the queasy feeling when im playing HL1 or any of its mods or COD or any other fps i have.. weird.. :|

You know what, you are totally right, and the others are wrong. DOOM 3 multiplayer will have the same atmosphere like the Singleplayer, slow paced, dark, and you must rely on shadows to give you some advantages to detect your opponent. ID software changed since Quake III arena, DOOM 3 multiplayer is not fast like other ID games. That's why it doesn't need much players, because 4 players is just perfect to add tension to multiplayer gaming.

Just wanted to make it clear.

(BTW I didn't play the game, so i'm not 100% accurate, but that's what i read in the quakecon articles)

heh, as you said... no one knows at this point, I heard it was fast paced due to the pickups and was more akin to quake one.
the single-player is where its at for DOOM3, I cant wait for it.
