Incase anyone has not heard the Doom 3 info here you go

From www.megagames.com

Description
According to Todd Hollenshead, id CEO, Doom 3 has gone gold and its release is only a matter of a few days away now. He goes on to reveal that August 5th will be the street date for the U.S., although he does hint that the game might be available a bit earlier as well. Below you will find Mr. Hollenshead's post in its entirety, including European dates and his view on the game.

IT'S DONE!!!!!!!

Yes, this is the official word that DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing!
It won't be long now until the anticipation ends and the PH34R begins ;-) We literally just hung up with
Activision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finally
GOLD. Thanks to everyone for their patience (yeah right! =) and for everyone at id, Activision and our
numerous partners for helping us create what I believe is absolutely the best game we have ever made.

So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting
at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of
your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check with
your local retailer for that information.

Internationally, the game will take a few more days to make it to the store shelves. The UK will probably get it first, on or about August 6th. Everywhere else will probably be Friday, August 13th (que Twilight Zone Theme) or close to that date, with just a few exceptions (e.g. Russia and Poland). This isn't
because we don't have love for you folks outside the U.S., but the localization and manufacturing process
takes a bit longer outside the U.S. where we will have JVC run 24/7 to get the units built. I guess the
European manufacturers prefer to give their employees nights and weekends off. Go figure!

The champagne is flowing here at id and smiles abound!

I'll update again with some DOOM 3 preparation tips (not what hardware to buy - you'll have to wait for
a programmer for that sort of thing). In the meantime, I want to see those "DOOM 3 GOLD!!!" threads set
new records for swamping message board servers, destroying productivity, and post counts ;-)

Recapping today's headlines....DOOM 3 GOLD!!!

NO. . .NOOOOOOOOO. . .IF THIS MOVEMENT GETS ANY SLOWER I WILL FEEL LIKE TEH TINIOOKI SUIT MARIO (YES THE STONE UNMOVING INVINCIBLE MARIO FROM MARIO 3!!!)

NONETHELESS, IF ITS A HONED AND PURIFIED VERSION THAT LEAVES THE ALPHA IN THE DUST, THIS WILL BE COMPUTER GAMING TODAY.

That would of been funnier, Xaero, if it were a crap load (numbered even) of 5.25" floppies ... Like Doom1 and 2 came out on ;)

Think I still have a 5.25" drive around here somewhere.

yikes, 4 player multiplayer...why did i waste $50??


I heard about Doom III being played at Quakecon this year. And I'm pretty sure that there's gonna be bigger multiplayer capabilities. Like...ghetto mod or something.
