Prez : As Will mentioned, hosting Last Man Standing is infinitely preferable to merely joining a game.
From the other side of the fence, everyone appeared to be moving on roller skates and their guns inactive, despite the constant hell creature explosions. The lack of gunfire cues made it hard to determine where best to put your own limited ammo supplies, although everyone seemed to be very susceptible to a good torch battering - especially team-mates.
Also, a bug meant that the character models for teleporting bad guys would all be visible long before they activated, ruining most of the game's shocks and scares. There was also an odd side effect with the hell guardian. Aside from remaining motionless, there were two of them. Which you don't see every day. Ultimately, it's an exercise in frustration. Pissing About Potential : Jumping out of the shadows to try and scare Prez was an amusing aside, especially as the game wasn't very good on that front.
Mostly though, nothing beats a good healthy torch fight should you find yourself on a deserted Mars base. The discovery that crouching and shooting a team-mate with the shotgun catapults them across the room also led to much hilarity and impromptu dumping in lava.
When I played Doom 31 got much what I expected: a shooter that wasn't particularly clever or mould-breaking, but one that was hugely atmospheric, very dark, full of technological whizz-bangs and a hell of a lot of fun. When I played Doom 3 multiplayer, however, I didn't. Id Software the games company who broke my deathmatch virginity with such effusive grace back in the good old days of Quake and its map-designing friends at Splash Damage who were responsible for the excellent Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory have cooked the books slightly.
Four players, slow pace, five maps, darkened nooks and crannies, a slew of references to former id glories and one or two interesting features per level - far distant from the Arena frag-fests of recent years and with a focus on compact, quality-controlled blasting rather than a huge number of inconsequential maps and features. At first, as they say, it's all gravy.
There's plenty of fun to be had, for example, flicking the switches in the Lights Out map, powering down the generator, pulling the shutters down on the windows and stalking around in the darkness.
Indeed, hiding in the shadows and blasting a pursuer as he hurtles past is the greatest pleasure that Doom 3 deathmatch affords.
Elsewhere there's a welcome return to the hub-trap style of map-making with the skin-shredding Frag Chamber, a few well-placed Berserk modes hideous screaming included and some nice features you won't notice instantly - like the power-up in the bowels of the Tomiko Reactor. After a while though, you hit a big bloodstained wall. Fun as the map gimmicks are, there's a finite amount of enjoyment that can be squeezed from them.
You discover that you can join servers that are running with eight players, and that ups the ante somewhat, but before long it becomes painfully apparent that this is a hugely limited multiplayer package. Over a LAN I'd say that this is a great game to stick on for an hour or so and shout abuse at each other, against faceless members of the internet community, but the fun ebbs away the more you play it.
The future of Doom 3 multiplayer, however, does lie in the modding community. As I type all manner of tweaks are appeanng online offering 32 player insta-deathmatches and the like, and with an engine this nifty you can bank on some gems turning up one day or another. For now, though, you play it much as it was developed - and that's as a side thought. It's fun for a while, but there are bigger, brighter and better things out there. It's not a total disaster, but it's still the most underwhelming multiplayer that we've seen attached to an id product.
Dallas, Texas - the jewel of the Lone Star State. What a godforsaken hellhole. Never before have I been shipped to a bleaker, more soulless place to report on a games event and yes, that includes Slough and Milton Keynes. Like an antiquated videogame, the city is made of singlepolygon buildings, their mirrored veneers reflecting a sterile scene of deserted roads and too-neat hedges, the sidewalks occupied only by cops and the occasional blurry NPC -probably packing heat.
The sole distinguishing feature is the trademark Texan excess. Shopping malls are like small cities. Steaks are the size of your average domestic pet. In a way though, this is what we love about America.
The more barren, nasty and crime-ridden a city is, the more thriving the corresponding subcultures usually are. Just look at Washington DC, murder capital of the US, and home to the nation's finest punk-rock scene and some of the finest bands ever created. In Dallas there are no bands they're all in neighbouring Austin , but this bland metropolis has another, more relevant claim to fame: it's the world's undisputed capital of the first-person shooter.
Ten-some odd years ago, to coin a Texanism, a revolution occurred in games that you may be familiar with. In Mesquite, 20 minutes from Dallas, a bunch of geeks got bored with the primary culture of incest, rodeos and meat drinks and created Wolfenstein 3D, the world's first true FPS.
The genre has since held the PC gaming population in thrall for over 10 years, and its godfathers at id Software have remained at the centre of the scene throughout. Other high-profile companies like 3D Realms, Ion Storm, Gearbox and Origin all have their roots in Dallas or nearby Austin, but only id Software creates a fan frenzy big enough to bring thousands of sweaty gamers to Texas every year, 40kg PCs on their backs, to join in a four-day blowout of gaming mayhem.
If you hadn't guessed, the event is QuakeCon, America s biggest LAN party, games convention and prize tournament; a by-the-fans, for-the-fans affair dedicated to the games of the id stable.
The event once again took place in Dallas this August, continuing an eight-year tradition of free fragging, partying and sleeping on floors. It's unknown if anyone lasted the full 96 hours, though there were certainly a few freakish characters who were keen to try. Numbers in the BYOC are estimated to have topped 2, at peak, the full logistical and hygienic considerations of which are impossible to calculate.
Needless to say, the fact that the event coincided with the New York blackout did not escape the attention of worried-looking hotel staff. However, as a proud affirmation of geek culture, QuakeCon is unrivalled. Where else could one wear a T-shirt bearing the slogan Will Frag For Sex' and still hold one's head high? Respect is key, and it's not just earned on the virtual battlefield.
Case-modding is de rigueur, and if you don't have a neon light shining out the side of yours then you might as well go home. Extra points are given for doing away with the case altogether, to be replaced with a common industrial or laboratory item, ideally combined with a T-shirt that shows your commitment to the cause. Anything pre-millennium and you're a goddamned Jedi.
But the real reason we were there was not to enjoy the delights of a 2,strong man-fest, but to play Doom 3 and collar the boys from id. We managed both, even sneaking in a few hours playing Call Of Duty genius. The fruits of our labour can be found on the following pages, so saddle up, strap on some chaps and bathe in the 'adrenalinpumping atmosphere' of the hottest event on the Texan social calendar.
There's No doubting that in terms of pre-release hyperbole, Doom III is currently the biggest game in development, something which has made id Software worried about overexposure. So, to ensure the world wasn't swamped with Doom III material, id released a handful of screenshots with the official word that no more were going to be available until after the New Year. Ironically, a few days later an early version of the code was leaked onto the Internet and downloaded by just about everyone with a fast enough connection.
