did anybody notice that the grill at the end of the river is removed. looks like you can run under there.

speaking of aztec, im not really a fan of that long, steep staircase going up near the bomb plant
only the first step has geometry and the rest is a texture.. it looks noob.
they should fix that. or redesign that part.

Is it true that its been leaked?

Meaning it looks more lifelike then an overdone "shiny", "plastic" effect that oozes off most everything in Doom 3. Organic = real, lifelike.
Even the recommended specs are something quite high. I'm not saying they're beyond all realms of thought, but from a MARKETING stand point it seems like a terrible idea to make a game that not everyone can fully enjoy. PC Gamer even states that on the lower end systems it still looks good but plays noticably choppier. Frame rates are more important than graphical splender any day of the week, and if the lower spec computers can't play it smoothly what's the point?
Don't put words into my mouth. I never said the game was bad. In fact I think it will be a quite enjoyable single player game, but it's still absurd that the game will have such high requirements for what is essentially a retelling of a 10+ year old game.
Enjoy your 4 player online gaming. The norm for multiplayer FPS games now is much, much higher than that, and what's holding it back? A good chunk rests on the fact that most systems don't have the power to handle anything higher then 4 player matches in Doom 3 while still maintaining a solid framerate. That's also shoddy work on Id's part to leave so much up to the mod community in terms of multiplayer.

I'm not extremely knowledgeable of what i'm about to talk about, but I think the big difference isn't just textures-- doom 3 relies heavily on bump mapping, it looks like just about every model in the game is that way. On the other hand, it looks like valve has a taken a minimalist approach with their bump mapping, but they also seem to have all sorts of nice shaders to use.

They're just two different games with different purposes when you come down to it, I don't see why this is being argued over.
