Flip through the manual and see if there's any mention of in-game screen shots.

You can only use printscreen once. Press the button, then paste. Rinse and repeat.

I have a question, does Doom 3 have a storyline to it? I remember the original Doom and don't remember anything but shooting.

Just out of curiosity how did you get it a day early? DO you work at a game store or something?

Can't something int he game make the brightness/gamma increase. I had to do that in FarCry. My monitor was displaying it really darkly, so I increased the Gamma/Contrast. Same with Star Wars Galaxies free trial.

It has a storyline. Now, the thing to see is if such storyline will be forfeit like in the first one and the game will just turn into a mindless shooter.

ok played for 5 hours so far. taking a breather . trying to escape from Mars City. very well done game . I dont usually like scary games but this is sweet. just picked up the machine gun outside the labs now Im trying to find keys for supply chest in infermary . need bullets . must keep going. you gamers wont regret this one plays beautiefully on my 9600pro as I stated in other post. storyline is typical of many other FSPs , you get shipped to remote area to investigate suspicious activities , everyone gets mutated , you kill everyone on your way out. havent tried multiplayer yet , typical modes , DM team DM , tourney etc etc

cheers


bob

I got raped by three zombies. Frame lag killed me. I tried beating them with a flashlight but they gutted me like a fish

F12, my friend. Take as many screenshots as you want. They're encoded as .tga files, so you'll need photoshop or something that can open tga files.

Most definately. 4-player multiplayer mode. You will need a legit CD key to get on, so don't try anything sneaky

Monsieur Propaine, could you report your fps and when you're thru with the game tell us if at any point in it you experienced jaggies or drop in performance, S.V.P.?

Also, are you running it at totally max settings?

What do you mean? Are the spiders friendly, or was it a glitch?
