gee wally!  Welp, 18 hours to go ;)

If it's the real thing, then cool.  But it'll probably finish by the time my box gets here in the mail.

btw, I went with the non-reloaded.  Straight "Doom3"

Some are saying not all of the Doom 3 files on supernova are Doom3, but from what I heard the Reloaded one is. If you pre-ordered like most everyone I know, we'll have the Box first, yes.

Most reviews coming in are very good. Turn the lights off, and it scares the crap outta you. That's rare, and sounds like great gameplay to me. Of course they are drooling over the excellent grafix, but that was a given.

I do like multiplayer like BF1942, but have been waiting for a long time for a good FPS you can play in Single Player when you want without all the hassles that can sometimes go with MP.

9 hours.  A guy I work with also preordered, but suprnova'd his way in last night.  He says it's incredible - the scripting and storyline flow very well and gives the same 'feeling' that Half Life did.  I'm excited :)  Been too long for a decent FPS with a good storyline.  Predictable or not, blow away demonspawn endlessly or not, this is gonna be good.

Well i got it last night.

It was 12 oclock when i got my copy. I installed it, played it, screamed, i actualy screamed!

I only completed some levels, but by the time it was 6 oclock in the morning i was shacking at the legs, i couldnt speak i was pretty much completly blown away at this game.

"The lights go out, you hear noses coming around the corner. You pull out your flash light. Trying to figure out what has happend. You turn 180* you hear a scream behind you. You spin, and there is the biggest **** monster you have seen, eating away at you. You backup, screaming, die! DIE! DIE. You accendently select the wrong weapon, the pistol. F**** not this weapon ahhhh, next. Well the monster is still eating at your flesh, your eye sight is red, your scaning through your weapons faster than light. Its dark, and all you can see is its red eyes. You pump 2 rounds of your shockgun into the thing. It dies fast, and you recover from your ordeal and get back onto your seat."

Even writing that i have shivers running up my back.

Cannot wait to get home, turn off the lights and pump up the sound. Load up doom 3 and turn myself into a screamign child.

System.
2600+ XP
786 Megs of 2700 DDR
XP Pro
9800 Pro 128 meg.

Runs nice and smothly on my system.

Well it was slow, but I got it. The Key gen worked too.

Loading, it now asks for CD2, I opened it with DAEMON tools. Now what?

Hmmm....
