Which actually means the AI is pretty good, because the Zombies do exactly
as Zombies are supposed to do :)
Only question I have is "Why the hell they are all hiding in closets?" :)

Yep some people are having a lot of difficulty with the darkness, I am one
of them. I feel that ID has badly used the
"Lighting" by simply not using it well enough, from the early movies and
talk about Doom 3, I was expecting some funky
effects like the Laser going thru Smoke like in Alien, and good lighting
effects for shadows, all we got was a dark dull game.
Not horrible, but certainty not what I was expecting.
My major beef though is the Torch, has a great effect and all, but changing
weapons in the heat of battle gets difficult when
 you are always having to hold the thing in your firing hand, they should
have at least let you hold the torch and pistol at the same time.
And maybe allowed an Attachment Power-up later in the game to attach it to a
single Rifle length Weapon

Actually the storyline was basically what I was expecting, the complaint I
have is that its a little to linear, the maps should have more ways thru,
would also make replaying more fun.
I know its basically based on the Original Doom, but it didn't have to
slavishly follow the Doom Single Way through system. Also would have liked
to see some outside areas used more, the fright of fighting Zombies and
Demons while your airtank is dropping fast would have been fun.
