In terms of gameplay I enjoyed Halo for the outdoor missions and the freedom 
of driving / flying - especially flying the Banshee.  I really hated the 
claustrophobic Flood levels and the utterly repetitive Library levels.

Doom 3 is like one big combination of both of these levels with the added 
"bonus" of not being able to use both a light and a weapon at the same time; 
yes I have downloaded the mods, but they only work on the pistol, shotgun 
and machine gun.  The upside is that the graphics are the best I have ever 
seen and, when combined with the excellent sounds, the suspense of disbelief 
is complete.

In terms of hardware, the graphics card I upgraded to (ATI 9600 XT) in order 
to play Halo struggles a little with Doom 3.  If you have a lesser card then 
you should be prepared to fork out at least AS$300 for a card that can do 
the job and possibly more if you want to play Doom 3 on Med - High settings.
