Heres a little something from the UK PCGamer:
doesn't it sound great
We can report that Doom III's 4-way combat is tremondously impressive, if a far cry from Quake, or the large-scale team gams that have become a staple diet in recent years. Central to the experience is the return of the 'beserk' power-up, familiar to players who had their first taste of FPS action in the origanal Doom. Getting hold of this transforms a player into a flaming, screaming, high-speed instant death machine. It's sure to be one of those experiences that defines gaming in the next few years. Fans of trick-style movement will also be pleased to hear that while movement is slower in D3, strafe jump and some astonishing rocket physics have made it into the game. Doom 3 should come as a refreshing change from games of the past yaer, with shadowy interiors and a handy flashlight for you to batter people around the head with. And it really will be around the head this time: Doom 3 has per-polygon hit-dectection, so location damage will be a reality at last. Combine this with a physics engine that sees bodies bouncing off walls and crashing through glass windows and you have one of the most evocative multi-player enviroments ever seen. This really is next-generation stuff.
