Check this site http://www.doom3portal.com/ for an interview about the D3
xbox port.  (I don't recall specifically which link it is on the site.)
There was some "trimming" here and there for the xbox as well as some
modifications for 2-player cooperative mode play.

I noticed that the maps on RoE seemed a tad smaller than the maps in D3
which leads me to suspect that RoE was designed with an xbox port in mind.
