ok, maybe my 'doom is doom' statement was somewhat inaccurate, but what i mean is, from what i gathered, people are upset because it is squarely an 'old skool' shooter, without any halo-esce elements that many FPS games have now.

I feel that the single player side of id's FPS games has not changed too dramatially over the years, the main big change was an extra dimension via quake and the main gameplay of Doom3 is very much like quake2, but with less backtracking.

in my view it seems the main concern of id when making Doom3 (apart from a lovely engine) was atmosphere and gameplay so it would have been better to stick to tradional game design.
