Even More DOOM3 -- 11:32 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Both IGN and Computer and Video Games have also posted their impressions of DOOM3 multiplayer. Most interesting is that there isn't a bounding box anymore. You either hit an actual polygon on your enemy or you don't hit at all. Here's a bit from the latter preview:

When you get shot in multiplayer, you get a vision-blur effect, which really messes things up for you, makes it an onerous task indeed to shoot back. Your vision blurs and wobbles around as well, so you're not looking at the target anymore. Generally speaking, a great deal of blind panic is caused by these disorientating effects.

. . .

It's intense. You're still running, but not as fast as you do in Quake III; but when you do run into someone it goes a bit crazy. It's very hard to achieve headshots and so forth. But it's all just so incredibly detailed. Not that we ever doubted it, but we must stress again - the game looks amazing.

Thanks Blue's News.
