Well folks, it’s 3am and I’m throwing in the towel. Before I go, there’s another issue with Doom 3 I wanted to highlight..

Bugs, bugs, bugs..
So, to add to the 2 problems I mentioned before, there’s a sound problem with the game that seems fairly widespread from some of the articles I’ve seen. (check out this one, and this one for more info..) The problem is that sound cuts out fairly regularly if you use the surround feature with a 4.1 or 5.1 system. From my experience, it’s sporadic at first, but gets worse as the game goes on. My advice: If you haven’t already bought the game, wait until Id/Activision releases a patch to fix all of these problems. This really is a great game, but the technical glitches really start to ruin the experience after a while.
