To me, this makes the game all the more tense as well. > >So, for what its worth, what exactly is missing from my version of the game? >Am I missing much? > > > > I don't think you're missing anything but the better graphics available to PC users. I haven't seen any direct comparisons, but I don't see any reason why all the game content wouldn't be there. I've played Halo,SWKoToR1, COREFBB, DX2, and POP-SoT (like all those acronyms :-) ), on both the XBox and PC and the only difference I found was the XBox was lower resolution and missing directx 9 stuff, less particle effects etc... I bet D3 XBox doesn't have the same kind of smoke and steam and it certainly doesn't have the wavy heat haze. I look forward to giving Doom 3 on the XBox a try, too busy right now playing through Resurrection of Evil again. -- People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad!
