Ah! Been meaning to get around to that as well.

>i don't get why people (even itt) liked Doom 3
I guess I got into Doom when I was pretty young. Around 2007 in 7th or 8th grade. Something like that. The first time I played Doom was on the Xbox 360 arcade, and I was instantly hooked... The speed, the music, the atmosphere. Those were the days when E2M4 (Deimos Lab) and E2M6 (Halls of the Damned) gave me the chills. I wanted more, and when I saw screenshots of Doom 3, they looked amazing. However, being just a wee lad, I wasn't allowed to play it, so it became the forbidden fruit. I was somewhat technically adept,even at that age, and my parents knew how much I loved modding games.

I convinced them that if they bought it for me, I would do my best to mod out all of the blood and gore, and they agreed. And, with some help from my brother, we did just that, and I loved the game. I finally had the forbidden fruit. I loved the sp00ky nature of the game and the new demons. I guess it was the adventure of getting the game that really made me like it a lot. I even played around in GTK radiant, and it was a blast for me to see how amazing the levels looked, even though I kind of sucked at it.

Up till that point, most of the map editing I had done was with Star Craft, and Call of Duty 2 Radiant. While those were cool, and CoD 2 looked good, I was just blown away by how cool I could make my (really bad) Doom 3 "maps" look. I loved tinkering with the interactive displays and stuff.

So that's the story of why I like D3 so much.

Doom 2016 was a lot of fun when it came out, but it hasn't captivated me the way other games in the series have. I think if it had a REAL map editor, not just SnapCrap, perhaps I would be hooked on it just as much. But alas it doesn't, and as I near the end of college today, it doesn't have the allure of being the forbidden fruit. Still, I enjoyed it. Shame all of the DLC was MP.
