For example, a larger room will have more reverb than a smaller room, a column will obstruct a sound causing you to only hear the 'bounces' off the various walls around you. Think of when you move into a new house, how the room sounds different when theres not furniture ini t - thats exaactly the kind of  maths were applying in the new Doom III<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> From Pcgamer Magazine.

Aswell as one of the best graphics engine. 1337.

    Yes it would. If the team ever got hold of the HL source code, they can gibe HL 1337 graphics too, like what Tenebarea did for Quake 1!
    Look around for it and youll see.

    yeah, that sounds like the NS team alright. Maps with low r_speeds, working on software rendering, etc. ...

    [EDIT]
    Oops i forgot DoomIII has poor multiplayer support, but hell 4 players is all you need right ?

    Yes, Doom III has poor multiplayer support, but not poor modding support.  All the tools needed will be shipped with the game itself, and they are supposed to be pretty powerful <b>and</b> easy to use.  It wont be too hard to create a descent multiplayer mod for Doom III, despite the fact that the game itself is more leaned toward single-player.

    The Unreal Warfare engine looks pretty damn sweet, even on normal (medium) detail with my Geforce 2 GTS 32meg.

    It's pretty obvious that Epic were aiming to hit the modding community in the faec with some amazing features. There is code in UT2003 for vehicles, the same as that was in Halo (Torque or something like that), and yet there are no vehicles in UT2003 apart from one to demo the code to mod teams. Buying that code would have cost Epic a fortune, a pretty damn selfless gift to modmakers I think. Of course they'll get their money eventually when Mods for it become popular but meh.

    I was just thinking the same thing.... wouldn't want the team to spend so much more time porting the thing to another engine though.

    If NS makes it to another engine, I'd rather see it on the latest incarnation of the Unreal engine.  Doom3 may look good, but I get the feeling a serious multiplayer mod, beyond duel centric anyways, is going to be a bit hard to do.

    It's been said before, and I'll say it again.  If NS ever gets ported to another engine, it'll be HL2/TF2.  <i>And yes, they are coming.</i>

    If I had to choose between doom3 and UT2K3 I would definately go with the unreal engine, I get much better framerates in UT with all gfx turned on than Half-Life, and thats saying something.

    But you get a better framerate in Quake 2 than you do in Half-Life, so why not use it? :P
