[quote name="Rafiki"]<a href="http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/doom-3-resurrection-of-evil/577592p1.html">http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/doom-3-resurrection-of-evil/577592p1.html</a> They're goddamn killing me. A new expansion pack developed by id and whoever Nerve is, featuring new ass and Half-Life rip-offs. Highlights: Now, I know what you're thinking. You grew deeply attached to your nameless, forgettable character in Doom 3 and can't wait to jump back in his shoes, but SURPRISE! You get tackle Mars and Hell all over again with a completely NEW nameless, forgettable character: [quote]While your character remains nameless, you're no longer the same space marine who survived DOOM 3. This time, you play a combat engineer working under the command of Dr. Elizabeth McNeil, who worked alongside the nasty Dr. Betruger on Mars but was sent home as she began to suspect Betruger might be up to no good[/quote] New enemies: <img src="http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/article/577/577592/Vulgar440_1104997325.jpg"> The <b><u>Vulgar</b></u>. Why didn't they just call it "Fuck?" And what color is he? No, not brown. The other one. <img src="http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/article/577/577592/Hazmatzombie440_1104997523.jpg"> The <b><u>Hazmat Zombie</u></b>. Here I thought the zombie barrel was completely tapped. <img src="http://randomwebsite1.homestead.com/files/hell_knight.JPG"> The <b><u>Bruiser</u></b> [quote]<a href="http://www.doom3portal.com/articles/article20041126.php">One of the more interesting new monsters is the bruiser. Hell-knight sized, and just as big of a cause for alarm, these beasts will make you think twice before approaching a computer monitor. Why? Well, they’ve got one for a head and may lay in disguise as a computer console until you approach them.</a>[/quote] Ok, they have got to be fucking kidding me with this. Hell's minions go undercover as a fucking monitor? This is supposed to be Hell's minions, not John Carmack's gayest computer nerd nightmares. New Features: Bullet time. I'm sorry, Hell Time. No, wait, let me try that again. <font size="+5" ><font color="red"><i>HELL</i></font> TIME</font> <img src="http://members.aol.com/i89i/sirhell.gif"> BUT HELL TIME IS DIFFERENT: [quote]...although Hooper points out that it's not quite the same, since your character still retains his normal movement speed. "You have complete freedom of movement -- you can dance around fireballs, or run up and peg creatures with a shotgun blast."[/quote] A fucking gravity gun: [quote]There's another new weapon that might raise a few eyebrows: the Ionized Plasma Levitator, also called the Grabber. ... It would be easy to treat the weapon as a knockoff of the gravity gun, but -- as was the case with Half-Life 2 -- the gadget was borne out of something the team had already been using during the creation of DOOM 3. "It's one of those things that's just fun, and we've had it around in our engine," Hooper explains, "we actually used it as a tool throughout development where we'd grab physics objects and place them around the world." While there was some thought to adding the gun to DOOM 3, the team decided against it. "We talked about that quite a few times, but we had such a big arsenal of weapons, and <b>so many other cool things going on, that it was just one of those things that never made it in.</b>"[/quote] LISTEN UP, PEOPLE. THIS MAN BELIEVES THERE WERE SO MANY COOL THINGS IN DOOM 3 (there weren't) THAT THEY COULDN'T INCLUDE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT HALF-LIFE 2. WHY DO YOU WANT TO GIVE ID MONEY?[/quote]
