Breathing air on the surface of mars? Leak vid question

[Agnes]

Well, I suppose an atmosphere would come in handy even if people wouldn't be able to breathe in it. It could protect buildings from meteorites, at least. Since Mars is closer to the asteroid belt and has a thinner atmosphere than Earth, there would be more meteorites hitting the surface? Otherwise, they'd need some sort of shield.

I'll say, but it's only the beginning. Just wait until Doom 3 is released and we'll get all those n00bs (yes, n00bs, not just newbies) swarming in.

I'd cry if I didn't have my trusty 'sarcasam' shotgun. :P

Yeah I also was thinking about that rumoured airlock mission.
From a level designers point of view a deadly Mars surface is crap, because it really reduces the level design to indoor scenarios only, plus some panoramic landscape views through windows.

True, but don't forget there will be hell type levels as well. I'm sure hell will be more suitable for outdoor areas.

Let's hope there'll be some large outdoor areas in Hell, although Hell could also house lots of really claustrophobic areas.

I really hope id doesn't make this "sidetrip" to Hell too short - like you enter the portal, there's a single short level worth of Hell and then it's back to base-pounding again. That'd just be too short and would suck.

I want to be in Hell long enough to get a fairly rich idea of what Hell is like in this universe.
