heh-heh....i agree....from most of the people i talk to that have
played doom I & II and heretic, most of them say that they really
dislike heretic.....but myself, i love the game...the flying ability
is too cool, and look up/down feature is nice for seeing those
ledges when ya ain't got the wings..<g>...and most will disagree
with me on this, but, i think that the last patch for doom/doom2
should have incorporated look up/down, and mebbe added
a jetpack type thing for flying....IMHO.......but oh, well, not
to be.....and the screen shots of hexen....too cool...specially
since this will add a different stroke onto the deathmatch
scene...you'll hafta know the powers of three different classes
of weapons/spells....heh-heh...just think, most prolly won't
play the cleric and whind up making a huge mistake with
playing dmatch against him...<g>...mebbe a hand of god
squeeze or somethin like that.... ;-))

BTW, since this is the 2nd heretic, it will be available like
doom2, right (store bought)?  or is it a 1-800-idgames only??
