Doom 3 is a science fiction horror first-person shooter computer game developed by id Software and published by Activision on August 3, 2004. Doom 3, despite its name, is not a direct continuation of the original Doom series storyline, but rather a reimagining of the first game in the series, with the addition of a completely new game engine and graphics.
Set in the year 2145 in a fictional Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) research center on Mars, Doom 3 has the player take control of an anonymous space marine as he fights to survive a mysterious invasion of inter-dimensional demons. In the process, the marine learns more about the nature of the shadowy research being conducted within the massive base and its main instigator, Dr. Malcolm Betruger.
Doom 3 was developed for Windows and ported to Linux in 2004; five months later, it was also released for Mac OS X (ported by Aspyr) and Xbox (co-developed by Vicarious Visions). The Xbox version is graphically similar to (although less detailed than) the original and features an additional two-player online co-operation mode. An expansion, Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, developed by Nerve Software and co-developed by id Software, was released on April 4, 2005. A Doom movie, loosely based on the franchise, was released roughly six months later on October 21, 2005.
Doom 3 inherits a number of weapons from its predecessors Doom and Doom II, while adding several new weapons and modifying several of the old standbys. The iconic chainsaw and BFG 9000 return, as do the pistol, shotgun, chaingun, rocket launcher, and plasma gun. New additions include the flashlight (vital as a light source), hand grenades, a machine gun, and an alien artifact known as the Soul Cube. The double-barreled shotgun, also from the old Doom games, appears in its expansion pack as well as the ionized plasma levitator or "the grabber"
Doom 3 was released with a four-player deathmatch multiplayer component only. However, computer game modders released an eight-player support patch soon after release, and this aspect was included in the Resurrection of Evil expansion.
As with most deathmatch multiplayer components, the objective of the game is to kill other players as many times as possible within an allotted amount of time, or to reach a specified number of kills before the opposition does. The player begins each game and respawn with a basic set of weapons (flashlight, pistol with four spare clips, and two grenades; RoE adds a machinegun with 30 bullets), and may acquire power-ups and most of the weapons featured in the single-player campaign during the course of each match. There is also a new twist, as players can steal other players' weapons by attacking them with the fist. When a player is punched, they forfeit the current weapon they are holding to the attacker.
In addition to deathmatch, three similar gametypes exist. In team deathmatch, players are placed on either the Red team or the Blue team, and the opposing teams fight. In tourney mode, two players duel while the others wait in line; at the end of the match, the victor faces the next challenger and the loser is put at the end of the waiting line. In last man standing, players are each allotted a specified number of lives; when a player loses all their lives, they are forced to spectate until the end of the match.
Three power-ups exist in multiplayer: berserk, mega health, and invisibility (the latter two do not appear in the single-player campaign). Berserk lasts for 30 seconds, enhancing the player's speed by a factor of 1.5 and tripling their damage given. Mega health boosts the player's health to 200, exceeding the health limit of 100. Invisibility lasts for 30 seconds, and renders the player nearly invisible; the power-up emits a subtle green glow, and does not conceal wounds.
The Xbox version of Doom 3 included four-player deathmatch over Xbox Live and system link, as well as two-player co-op on Xbox Live and system link.
