Doom III media and tweaking

[ShellShock]

I've decided to just do headshots on whatever I can until I get another weapon or more ammo.

Are there headshots in this game? I know headshots usually do 3x damage in a lot of FPS games, but there are no headshots in Q3 so I wasn't sure if they made any difference in this game.

[Hidea]

there is no headshots... these damn zombies can walk around headless... yea... I had to shoot 3 times to put 'em down in the head.. OR>. a close up shot in the face with a shotgun.

[Leo Natan]

Uhm guy, offtopic, but are enemies waking up after they are killed? In the alpha, they just get up after they are shot, and it is impossible to kill them...

hey hell in a handbasket, PM me for my MSN and I will host the pics for you (Y)

Phew, got me a cheap Radeon 9800,

unfortunatley SE but hey at least that thing has 128 MB 256 MBit Ram and not the SE typical 128 MBit RAM.

As long as I don't have to play it on my old 8500 crap card :whistle:

Now if they just would sell the damn game already over here :cry:

It's not 128Mbit, its 128 bit.

Certain creatures can take headshots. The ones that look like humans and wear spectacles, I killed about 5 that way because I only had 11 ammo left. Granted, you can't use a pistol from one side of a room to another (I was right up in his face), but nontheless, it works. I do agree, though, that most if not all of the other creatures need at LEAST 3 shots to take out.

yeah 3 bullets or 3 firsts to the body. WTF? I can wack'em with my flashlight and they'll go down. That's freakin hilarious.

What really freaks me out is the damn lights going out and you can't see a damn thing and they come at you from all sides. Sons of bitches!

by the time you get to the first one of those "bulls" you should have a granade, 1 granade + 2 shotgun shots did it for me (second reload)

no, they don't get back up. at least I haven't noticed them getting back up lol

Is there a command for limiting the framerate? I've tried com_maxfps "30" as you would have in previous id games, but it keeps deleting it from my config.

[Bubbabyte]

anyone know the command to show fps...

com_drawfps 1 isn't working....

give keys = Acquire all the keys you'll ever need

give weapon_machinegun = Machinegun

give weapon_shotgun = Shotgun

give weapon_bfg = BFG

[qdave]

LOL! what the hell these guys are thinking?!?!

[XChrome]

ok the game definitely doesn't put enough ammo!

I'm in Alpha Lab 2 and with a lot of reloading I achieve the most rational use of ammo (aka I only spend exact amount it takes to kill specific creep) and now I'm out of ammo, creeps are creeping at me, and no ammo on the ground. I also do several rounds of checks of each area to ensure that I get everything.

There is just NOT ENOUGH AMMO!

P.S. does anyone else find the game boring up until now? I mean it's plenty scary, but rather uneventful...

Look in the corners there are also pits you can drop into that have ladders out filled with ammo and armor, ect. Look around which is funny cause your in the dark most of the time, LOL.

If you mean the first one that attacks the door then bursts through the security glass you should have found several grenedes but I forgot I had them but 1 full clip of shot gun and I think 2 pistol did the trick but you need to shoot asap you see him in the glass, LOL. Good luck!
