      Doom 3 was perfectly what I expected it to be, and it was fucking awesome. My favorite FPS for 2004. : dilutedq

Don't care personally about the delay. More importantly, it seems that the once great id software is fast becoming just another software house with typical problems. Yes, Carmack is a technical genius but he seems to be bored by the gaming scene and nobody ever really replaced Romero at the company in thinking up new and innovative ways of gaming. Result. Watch for the inevitable decline of id, especially as other companies gain skill and come up with better ideas from fresher and more hungry game developers.
No, id won't be going away any time soon, but the writing's on the wall. Sell. Sell!

It's sad to see the low level of excitement for this...but I don't think there was ever really high expectations for any expansions packs. The ones for the original Quake were well recieved though. I actaully liked Team Arena for Q3. Didn't get my moneys worth of use out of it. But I enjoyed it.
