Q: I just played my arrg

Ah. Just every time I see Carmack's name I think of idSoftware.

(Btw, feel free to mark my words… D3 will pretty much be exactly how I described it above. Oh yeah, and it'll be a really short single player experience (<10 hours) and very limited multiplayer, if any, at launch.)

EDIT: Why would you not "give a damn" about HL2?

Obviously not a gamer! But yes, Why would you not "give a damn" about HL2? I honestly can't think of a plausible answer… :Q

Re:I think multiplayer on Doom 3 is 3 other plays in a death match. But the atomosphere and mood alone would make me love the game.

Hell I liked Doom 64, and that game was awful compared to other FPS out at that time.

Re:yep not looking forward to D3 at all, I just want some nice mods to come out for HL-2 because the engine looks perfect

looks like the delay is true if ebgames.com has changed pre order ship date to 11/17

Lesson: wait till the game's on the shelf or after the first round of patches before you upgrade. The stuff you're buying now will be obsolete by then anyway! Mmm, I smell some fresh R400 baking in the oven…

Is there any news or article that shows the R400 not just being another tweaked engine? Or is the R400 an actual engine overhaul?

They say the R350 is just a tweaked R300, but Anand states that the R350 is 20% faster in AA/AF modes. If 20% is tweaked, then I would like to see what a increase is over a whole new engine core.

And if it is just another tweaked engine core with higher clock speeds, then It would be like comparing a 9700 pro to a 9800 pro. Both cards can play unreal very well so does that mean the people who own the 9700pro lost out because they did not wait for a 9800 pro? No.


Re:I'm crying inside.

Re:Wasn't the HL2 delay just a rumor? It's orginal release date was fall and I don't see that changed.

the news that HL2 was delayed until Christmas from a few weeks ago was quickly refuted by Valve. They are sticking to their guns that the game will be out on its scheduled date.

Meaning "We're going to bring it out on schedule, loaded with bugs. Yes we should have and could have waited until the Xmas season and wiped out a lot of the bugs, but hey, we need the money, now!"

or, since the game has been in production for so long they will have the bugs out by septemberi/expressions/rolleye.gif

I guess you will just have to settle for BF1942 Secret Weapons, Jedi Academy, Allied Assault Expansion, KOTOR, Halo, and Max Payne 2 until then.

What a tragedy.

KOTOR… *drools*
