It has a next generation graphics engine, and delivers the most beautiful
graphics ina flight sim that we've ever seen.
And, there are a lot of naysayers and complainers who moan about the fact that
they must update their computers to play it, or that they cannot play it at hte
highest resolutions.
So now we see Doom III has come out (won't mention Far Cry) , and reviewers and
gamers alike are rating it up and enjoying playing it at...get this....
800x600 resolution. No one is really complaining, it all seems par for the
course, and you can very well enjoy the game fully.
So..I made this post on the official LOMAC message boards as a jab at all those
naysayers.
The moderator locked the thread, claiming if I want to complain about DOOM III I
should post on the DOOM III message boards ;-)

I cannot understand this! I pay 50 dollars for a game, and it doesn't run well
on my system!

________________________________
So in the interest of full disclosure, we're compelled to report that we
played the game on a PC equipped with a 3 GHz CPU, one gigabyte of RAM, and a
GeForce 6800 GT video card. At a resolution of 800x600 and with the game's
visual quality set to high, Doom 3's frame rate was perfectly smooth almost the
entire time we played, rarely dipping noticeably and never getting low enough
that even the most discriminating player would find cause for complaint.
________________________________
It's obvious that the DOOM3 engine is horribly unoptimised! Imagine I have to
run this **** at 800 x600 in order to turn on the advanced water effects at
anything close to a playable framerate! I mean do you see that system spec!?
THat is a HIGH END machine right there! And it only runs at 800 x 600! What is
the point of making a game that will only really shine with new hardware later
on!?? HAs the computer even been MADE yet that can run Doom 3 at High Res with
everything on!??
And the lighting? I am certain that the lights are actually being rendered when
they are hidden from view, that's just terrible programming ID.
And this stupid excuse that I have to updgrade my graphics card, or my machine
in order toplay this game, and the foolish claims that even top of the line
machines may need a beefier card in order to run the game, it's stoopid....its
just because the game was never optimised that is why most people can't play it
at 1600 x1200 with everything on! I don't know what the ID programmers were
thinking but obviously this thing was rushed out the door....after spending my
50 bucks, I want a patch! I shouldn't have to turn down my detail to play on my
machine!
It's just a stupid first person shooter for crying out loud!
