Game Forum / Action Games / Doom / August 2004Doom 3 level architecture
Besides the atmosphere, the thing I loved most about Doom 1 & 2 was the way each level was designed: the layout of the rooms and hallways was really unique and memorable, resulting in great ambushes, firefights, surprises...There was always a way to use the architecture to your advantage. I can't say that the Quake games were as well-designed that way. I least they didn't impress me enough to remember them. But I still the fondly remember the layout of many D1&2 levels. So...What's the level design like in Doom 3? Oh yeah, I get tired of crawling around in air ducts (Half Life, etc. etc). >Besides the atmosphere, the thing I loved most about Doom 1 & 2 was >the way each level was designed: the layout of the rooms and hallways [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >Oh yeah, I get tired of crawling around in air ducts (Half Life, etc. >etc). well it looks like half life but very very very darkj even at full brightness. (kind of makes high graphics setting pointless) and like halflife many crawling around air ducts and under stairs. and like halflife it takes 15 minutes or more to get to the first monster. very slow game playing even with god mode on. basic recuiter esy level is a bit too hard. no coop mode. got to most likely wait until expansion comes out in a few months for phobos. finally verdict. very little replay value. people cant just go out and make a level or mod for this game. unlike doom 1 and 2 oh im going to go see if give doom 95 optioin still works with the release version. >>Besides the atmosphere, the thing I loved most about Doom 1 & 2 was >>the way each level was designed: the layout of the rooms and hallways [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >oh im going to go see if give doom 95 optioin still works with the >release version. Thanks. Sounds like I'm not going to bother with it. I wish they'd just do an upgrade of Doom1 and 2 with improved graphics/sound for us old-timers. Yeah, and I definitely miss the way you could create your own levels for 1&2. >>Besides the atmosphere, the thing I loved most about Doom 1 & 2 was >>the way each level was designed: the layout of the rooms and hallways [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >oh im going to go see if give doom 95 optioin still works with the >release version. Doom3 strikes me as too much of a role playing game. Not enough action and gore. Those were the hallmarks of doom1 and doom2. Doom2 had a cheat to brighten the background for faster play. Does doom3 have a cheat to brighten the background? It is too dark. > Doom3 strikes me as too much of a role playing game. Not enough > action and gore. Those were the hallmarks of doom1 and doom2. Doom2 > had a cheat to brighten the background for faster play. Does doom3 > have a cheat to brighten the background? It is too dark. You have got to be freakin' kidding me! Too much of a role playing game?!? Ummm... there are no decisions to make. It is simply a Doom2 shooter on steriods with a better back-story. RPG? You are a marine with weapons... that's it. Perhaps the PDA e-mails and voice recordings have fooled you into thinking you were doing something more than picking up keys. But that's all they are -- glorified keys. It may look like Morrowind, but it definately is not Morrowind. I love Doom3 for what it is. Haven't you gotten that feeling while playing that you were back in Doom2? I have, several times. If it doesn't have enough gore for you then I worry about your mental stability. Where do you work? A slaughter house? My complaints about Doom3: * no weapons with lights attached * no Alt+Tab. COME ON, YOU PUT URLs IN THE GAME! * "hidden closet" spawns Other than that, it's all good.

I could bring up the task manager with c+a+del, I have lots of progs tied to keypresses as well but while they do start up they stay in the taskbar but they wont come to the fore front.

True. > I can't say that the Quake games were as well-designed that way. You must be joking. They were very well designed In Quake 1, levels like E2M4 (Ebon Fortress) E2M5 (Wizard Manse) E2M6 (Dismal Oubliette) E3M5 (Wind Tunnels) are very memorable. I was in awe of the Wind Tunnels, where you blown up pipes and you dropped down into pools of water. And Wizard Manse has got to be one of the blueest levels ever. Great architectual 3D design with interlocking walkways. And in Quake 2, remember the crates stacked in water, barracuda shark swimming around and 2 crates bobbing in water? I swam underneath the bobbing crates just to see the motion. And the bridge over lava where you lower your enemies into it (heh heh). Nope. The Quake's had very good level design. Very memorable.

They were very well designed Glad you enjoyed them, but they just didn't stick with me. I don't like swimming or jumping on moving barrels and stuff like that. Too much like Donkey Kong or something. I also hated the way the shotgun sounds in Quake 1. Doesn't sound like a shotgun at all. Right from the beginning, I thought, "Uh oh, this isn't good." |
