Doom 3 Tournament

Post by Kulgan »

In honour of Doom 3's release in August, we're happy to announce the first proper Shotgun LAN tournament in years.

Doom 3 Deathmatch (it does have deathmatch, right?)
Prizes: TBA
Rules: TBD

All very defined.
Prizes will be announced once our intrepid sponsor-hunting admin mid_gen finds some kind company willing to provide a prize.
Rules will be decided on once we get hold of a copy of the game to figure out what the rules should be. No prescience here I'm afraid.

Tell your friends! Buy the game! Upgrade your PC so it can handle it!

It should be stressed that the usual SG melting-pot of games will be played regardless - Doom 3 will not be the only game played! It's just a tourney game, that's all.

Thought that there may have been a similar reaction with it as there were with say, Road To Rome. i.e. no f*cker had it.

Bring it with you, I can smash it up readily. I've got a paperweight that'll probably be a suitable upgrade.

This is a bit of a catch up forum post, given Baron's already posted, but...
We're happy to announce that in addition to their usual kind provision of switches for the LAN, Intel will be donating a 3+GHz HyperThreading Pentium 4 Processor and motherboard as the top prize for our Doom 3 competition.

This is an excellent prize, and we're certainly looking forward to the tournament!

meh sounds like a whole lot of money to spend if you want to bother upgrading for a flash in the pan graphics centric 3 hour experience like doom 3, why not wait for the next big hyped game like unreal 3 :/

<--- is sticking to doom 2, at least i dont have to sell my legs to science in order to enjoy that

P.S. Count Takeshi Kitano rules!!!!

Says the guy with a ninja über leet PC. :) You just buy a new PC don't you? I didn't upgrade that often anyway. As recently as a year ago I was running on a Coppermine Celeron 733 with Geforce2GTS, but there's still a feeling of relief for me.

You know you'll probably end up playing Doom3 anyway. I'd buy it at Game and 10 day, but they stopped 10 day returns for PC games a few months back. Fuckers. Why don't they do the same for PS2 games, piracy's just as rife on those too.
P.S. Count Takeshi Kitano rules!!!!
He's the daddy. Have you see Kikujiro? Remind me to make you watch it sometime.

Surely the rules are kill everyone else while try not to die? They haven't turned it into a platform game or something doubly shit have they!?
