Just started playing D3 and I was wondering:

Does the entire game take place in these tiny, claustrophobic hallways?  I 
remember Doom having wide open spaces and room to move.

Pretty much...  crank up the gamma, and/or find the duct tape mod (gives you

You are IN a modular station, remember?  :)   While the engine does behave 
well with wide open spaces (somewhat, at least), there aren't very many in 
Doom3/RoE.   they simply didn't go there?

Bah!  I was in a modular station in Doom I & II and I remember lots of room 
to move in those games.  How's Q4? is it the same?

Q4 has considerably more open areas.

No, in that part it's better.  In the light enough to see without a 
flashlight part, it's much better.
