will doom3 have outdoor levels?

[Maverick]

seems like all the screenshots I've seen show indoor levels. Same with the e3 alpha. anyone know?

I don't know, but I would sure like some outdoor stuff. Come to think of it, no FPS has ever had a map of the wilds.

if so, i imagine they would keep it secret... would be amazing!

(but i don't think so... doesn't this also take place on a moon base?)

Probably, if you consider a room with no roof "outdoors". Large, expansive areas would make most FPS games far less claustrophobic. I think the aim of Doom 3 is claustrophobia.

nm, redundant info

I doubt that you'll ever get a true outdoor level with Doom 3. The engine's architecture isn't built for such a level.

Carmack said there would be some, but they would be really short, and really limited for the most part. Something like running between 2 bases. So you are outside, but it's not really an outdoor level. Just a way to get from A to B.

Yeah, just outside for short periods of time. You are on Mars after all.

I just hope ATi didn't leak DIII! They were on such a roll...and it would be just too stupid to piss-off Carmack. I mean, I'm sure ATi corporate had nothing to do with it, but they are also responsible for the idiot/geek underlings who could leak this kind of thing.

Spoken like a man who has never played wither T1 or T2 ( tribes ) Some maps cover over 4 sq km in size.

Here is a screenshot that I took today while I was playing because someone made me LMAO. I am standing on a deck of sorts guarding the flag ( Capture the Flag ) This specific map has 1.8 km between the 2 bases.here kinda crappy looking because it is a jpg.

if you are really really bored, you can download this movie. I am trying my hand at making one from demo's I recorded. It is 18 megs in size, and on a server that will definately feel the AT effect.
