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.
