Hey Deadeye, yea it's Resurrection of Evil, the expansion for Doom 3. Supposed to take place like 2 or 3 years after the events of Doom 3, and there'll be a few new demons, and supposedly they're bringing back the double barrel shotgun.

Deadeye, RoE does indeed stand for Resurrection of Evil, and it is the Doom 3 expansion pack that takes place two years after the events of Doom 3. There is a good number of new features in the arsenal and the bestairy, which includes the return of the double-barreled shotgun and some new demons. I shall not spoil it for you, but instead leave it up to you to read up on any spoiler information regarding the game (which I have linked in post #17).

A most interesting and informative article Love, thanks very much for posting it.

[XLove & MutilationX]

my pleasure Magic.
that prediction i made months ago apparently rang some truth! [if you remember what exactly that was]

[Μαjïç MushrøøM]

My memory fails me...

Anyway, I am quite surprised to see id Software actually committing to a release date instead of keeping us under the traditional assumption of "when it's done."

[XLove & MutilationX]

well i think the fact that they made a confirmed press release is something we can all be grateful for and that the decision to go ahead to do so instead of making a press release say, maybe a few weeks before they intended to ship the expansion would have been out of place. As much as they have their claws firmly dug into the "its done when its done" attitude, they also are quite fond of the onset of anticipation once an official release date has been given. I think that Id enjoys that sort of attention.

to aid your failing memory Magic... back in mid november i had a "distinct feeling" that we would see the expansion-pack completed and even shipped by the beginning of the spring. this was my prediction.

at this time, i can also share a prediction regarding F.E.A.R and that there will be a delayed release date of 2 months due to technical complications [i.e OpenGL on certain videocards] but there is no need to discuss that here.the relevant good news regarding this thread has been stated
