Pent 3.6 HT
1gig DDR333
ATI 9700pro

I'm running on Ultrahigh graphics settings, it gets slow only when I enter a room with a lot of stuff going on. But so far game play is not affected.  If I were playing multiplayer, I might lower the settings some.

yea, i had it up at ultra last nght, but it wasnt a noticible change, and it was a tad jumpy at times, so i dropped it down.  DId you install the ATI Beta doom drivers they put out yesterday?  They seem to work a tad better than the current drivers.

Gone are the days when cranking the brightness on your monitor helped you see [:(]
Good gameplay, good graphics, but a little too dark for my taste. Runs ok on medium, but it does jump a bit occasionally.
The result of selling to pay for other things:
athelon xp 2000+
512 pc2700
radeon 8500

Runs pretty good for me, even.

Intel PIII 1.0 ghz
768MB PC133
Elsa GeForce 3 Ultra

Surprisingly well, I think, given what I'm running it on.  All the shadows and lighting effects are present.

I'm running it at 800x600 and on "medium" settings.

Doesn't look as nice as it could, I'm sure.  But its certainly still very full of detail and atmosphere.

Surefire didn't make it to the 22nd century, I guess...  Some weapon mounted lights could really come in handy. [:P]

I was thinking the exact same thing. I guess Maglite made it though... That flashlight is a bit of a step in the wrong direction technologically.

Yeah no kidding, that shotgun is a bit of a strange site too.  Pump action with a slide release??

Finally got a chainsaw. Man that should have been 1st on the list.

Well cuz I started it... Game runs fine on my system on the highest settings. Running an Athlon 64 with a gig in ram and a Radeon 9800 XT with 256 on the card. And sounds lovely with my 5.1 feels like I'm playing a movie heh.

The plot is good, and tell the truth I like how ID has gone back and is just retelling the story of there older games. First being Return to Castle Wolfenstien and now Doom 3. The first part of the game where your just seeing how everything works is nice.

So far I love the Flashlight. The idea is really good behind it, useing it means you can't use any other weapons. And gives me more of a feeling of dread. Unlike games like Halo and Half-Life where the thing is on your powered armor super suit, the flashlight in Doom 3 feels ALOT more real. And the in game use of the PDA is great, seeing your guy pull it out and use it is just nice. Not only that some of websites in game add more too it. Lastnight I found myself saving and opening IE to look up a keycode for a locker on one of the sites, and was rewarded with a chaingun.

Tell the truth so far I'm loving Doom 3. Video's popping up in game, the monsters look good. The weapons just feel right, and act like they would in real life. Spin around and you'll see the weapon move till it's back in it lowwer part of the screen. And the game reminds me of some of the underrated great games that have come out in the past few years that are ingored. System Shock 1 and 2, Undying and Red Faction for the most part.

I'm really ready to say game of the year with Doom 3. However there's still Half-Life 2 and Halo 2. And lord knows every site and mag on earth will be going on about how great the new GTA will be.
