Is John Carmack the Anti-Christ?

If so, count me as one of his followers.

I just watched an interview for Doom 3 and I still haven't stopped drooling. The game looks like it is going to be absolutely great. The graphics look wonderful and the setting and lighting look almost real.

I know now that Trent Reznor is doing the sound for the game. I think he did the sound for the first Quake game also. If sound can be scary, Reznor is the man to do it.

I thought Doom 1 was pretty freaky to play back in 1996. Doom 3 makes the original look like a joke. I'm almost afraid to play Doom 3. I may lose sleep over this one:-)

I was just wondering what you were all thinking about this game. Let me know anything you have heard, good or bad.

I thought John-Romero was the main man.. wasn't he supposed to make you his female dog or something?

"Even simple features like strafing aren't included."???? No strafing in doom3??

Graphics look top notch.. just will have to see how it plays.. if anything I'll at least get the demo

I couldn't care less about Half Life 2, DoomIII is what I want! Reznor is doing music for DoomIII, should be good.

I was in love with the first two Doom's. I remember playing DoomII and finding every secret on every level. Oh, the memories...

I think the "no-strafing" might actually make the game better in a way. They could have added that option with ease but they left it out on purpose. Now you can't just peak around the corner into rooms, you have to commit. It might make the game more scary.

I can't wait for this game. I think Reznor is doing all of the sound for the game, not just the music.

I was able to strafe in doom III alpha, I would be lost with out it other wise
There is aiming and strafing as far as i'm aware, who knows if that guy is correct who wrote that, I would doubt it.
Even doom I and II had strafing didn't it?
I hope carmack doesn't manage to screw this game up if that is true.

I think no-strafing is true, I've read it a couple of places. Maybe they felt the game was more frightening without strafing?

I think no strafing is both a new eliment of surprise and a startegy. It will make things more scary when they are up in your face. Also alot of users didnt strafe before-this balances the play alot. Now you can SEE the guy picking you off at 90 yards everytime you respawn.

Is John Carmack the anti-Christ? heck ya, and Gabe Newell is Jesus!

yeah, D3 is gonna have some mindblowin graphics, but that no strafing thing better be BS. Its totally unrealistic and ruins a huge tactical element in the game. If they do implement it, 20 bucks says hackers will have a fix for it within a week

not to worried about them saying there being no strafing.. it was in the alpha.. and give ppl a night or 2, and there will be some way to hack the strafe option back in.. so again not to worried about it.. but still can't wait for it =)
