I like the comparison and very glad doom3 can be compared to doom2 easily.
They did it right.  I do think it's a lot more like Doom 1.   In the way
that monsters come at you but without AI.

Doom2 was more intense by a factor of 2x.   I hope the addon or Doom3 II  or
whatever it's gonna be called will consider trying to make players feel a
bit more out of their element or at least definately not at the top of the
food chain any longer.

I just hope they bring in some good coop levels in doom3 like doom 2 had.
Doom2 was just one of those games you just absolutely had to share with a
buddy.  More people upgraded modems than video cards for doom2.

There were a lot of good levels doom but level 8 doom2  was one you had to
show a buddy.  It is one of the things Doom3 doesn't have.  Yet.   If they
expand it I hope they seek that good ol feeling of mediocre yummy scared
snacks running from hungry giant feeling.  Doom 1 did not have it ... Doom 2
did
